Thank you!

Here is another shot with the above mentioned gear and half-frame crop:

Now the following capture was taken with an adapted Rokinon 500mm f/6.3 mirror lens. Closer than the above mentioned setup, but lacking in contrast and overall quality.

1/320th sec, f/6.3, iso 200, hand held (propped), half-frame crop.

Reason for hand-holding the Rokinon mirror capture was due to prior tripod attempts that where useless due to the vibrations of the out-of-balanced rig.

First one is definitely better, but that's quite the setup.

Last night's attempt; same gear as listed in first post. Exif to follow image.

1/200th sec
f/8
iso 400

1/200th sec
f/8
iso 800

1/250th sec
f/8
iso 1600

All of the above images were run through CS3 from the E-P1 jpeg. I shoot both RAW and jpeg, and keep my camera settings as neutral as possible...everything is set to ZERO. The jpeg is only for using when I review in another program, since Olympus Viewer 2 is so painfully slow.

Anyway, I actually have a slew of edits and non-edits I plan to post in a separate thread, for comparison between editing programs and doing nothing at all.

Oh, nice!

To be honest, I'm a little surprised with the iso 800 and iso 1600 images, turned out better than expected.

By the way, my NR program is Neat Image Pro.
