I like the way the flowing water takes me into the image. I captured this while hiking at Seven Tubs Recreation Area in the Pinchot State Forrest in Pennsylvania. The sun was low enough taht I didn’t need a filter to give me a slow shutter speed.

Lens: M.Zuiko ED 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO

.Zuiko 20mm F1.4 PRO lens. And all I can say is WOW! This lens literally fits in my pocket. It is incredibly fast at f/1.4 and since it is a PRO model it is also weather proof. It also allows me to use it for closeup work (9″ from subject). I’ll be sharing some images over the next several days. Stay tuned…
