Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I have been downgrading my gear of late, due to financial reasons. I was considering a very well priced NEX 3 last week, but finally settled for an Olympus E-PL1 + kit lens, a bargain at $240 brand new. I have owned one of these before, and found it a stellar camera with an amazing jpg capacity. I took a few pics today of which these are some: My daughter Sarah, making bread in our kitchen. This image utilised one of the inbuilt filters, pin hole or something.

You may indeed Cameron. Good Guys Coffs hbr. I wasn't even shopping for a camera, just walking down the aisle, and I said thank you, I'll take the last two! One for me and one for a friend. I think they were clearing old stock and had a silly price on these. President, A.A.A.A.A (Australian Association Against Acronym Abuse)

Great shots.
I love the last image, the light and the isolation of the couple make it a great shot and the curve of the wave adds a smooth flowing effect that I find hard to adequately describe. Have you tried cropping a little off the bottom to make it more panoramic?

Here's another few images, taken of my longsuffering missus. This one taken in shade but with the attached flash. It doesn't have much power but does a creditable job all considering.  Rob200911c by Ozimax, on Flickr There's a few hot spots on this one as the light was mottled, but again, the E-PL1 is capable of a decent portrait, despite the el cheapo lens.

A bargain indeed Suren. It's a pretty good unit. T'would be nice to have a Panasonic 20mm f1.7, but that would cost more than the camera!
