Night Owl

Handling low light with M43 may seem like a trip to that formats “scary” place, but it turns out, the tools are all there.

As the sun drops, the mirrorless advantage first steps up, allowng you to shoot what you see, how you see it.

You can caress the file in exposure giving you more options later.

Fast glass and accurate focussing then come to the rescue. All these images are 8 years old shot on EM5 mk1’s so this has been the case for a while.

From the hip, fast and quiet.

The built in stabilisers, made all the more potent having to only support the smaller sensor.

Down to as low as 1 second.

As the ISO creeps it, things still hold together fine, the lenses becoming the primary empowerment tools. The 17mm Olympus in particular is a champion here.

Finally, processing handles what the system cannot. This is of course the norm these days, processing pulling more than just its weight and will likely do more in the future.
