Subject: [OM] Snowbound, Uninspired and Cabin-Fevered [was: Unofficial
Olympus Gallery: New submissions and additions to existing submissions]
Importance: High
Snowbound, uninspired and cabin-fevered, I was also getting sick and tired
of being sick and tired. So, realizing if one cannot make the weather one
can let the weather make the photography. I had just acquired an OM-1n
with 50/1.4 MC and they were burning a hole through the camera bag just
waiting to be tested. Donned parka, mittens and mukluks, slung the camera
bag and tripod over the shoulder and set out to rescue myself from cabin
fever.
The following resulted:

See the last six or seven in the gallery. I won't claim anything
spectacular came out of it, but at least some of it was great night
practice under less than ideal conditions and it cured the cabin fever.
BTW, if you need a convenient pedestrian and nobody _else_ is that insane
to be out that late in sub-zero (F) weather, then use the self-timer.
