Les hommes ne volent pas (short film) from Emmanuel BERNARD on Vimeo.
During the last couple of weeks readers sent me links to their own works done with m43 gear. This is the summary of all of them:
1) Emmanuel (Video on top of the post) “Hi, there is a student film made in Bordeaux and Barcelona. Everything was shot with the GH2 (execpt for one shot made on 5D). In fact we had 5 GH2 ^^. The lens used was : 20mm 1.7, 9-18 olympus, 14 140mm panasonic and a 50MM 1.8 canon. It ‘s student work but we were produced at a low budget by the university (for less than 5000€) that become slowly professionnal. The last part is really impressive for the camera used. Hope you will post it on your site.
Thanks for reading. Cordially (and sorry for my english).”
2) Arthur Kendrick: “here is a short video I put together for a recent wedding: http://www.facebook.com/l/IAQCuL8irAQDRL_QFh1OAcQ9hBSCC6BoATQfMAkZz95RW4A/www.actlab.utexas.edu/~kingofthesofas/?p=415”
3) Paul Kuchma (ART team Leader Freezelight-Art): “Photographs taken with the Olympus 43 (E-620), ART team from Russia! Sorry do not know much english language (

4) Chris: “Thought you’d might be interested in this. Digiscoping is taking off with the Panasonic GH2. I can only dream what it’s going to be like on the hacked versions J
Panasonic GH2 Tests with Swarovski Scope seems to be the dogs bits:

5) Florian: “Nice photos made with a PEN E-P2 on Flickr. Have a look. Hope you like the pictures.”
6) Luis: “I noticed your call out for any photography work that was created with m43 equipment and I wanted to pass along my own experience. I was on an assignment in Abu Dhabi this past December and I ditched my Nikon D3 + lenses when I visited a few cultural sites including the wonderful Grand Mosque. It was great fun using this light camera with it’s 14-45 kit lens. I’ve since moved on to the GH1 and I will carry it on all future jobs. Take a look at the images when you have some time.

7) Aaron: “I’ve been a big fan of the website and have been checking it almost daily since I got my first M43 camera almost 2 years ago. After seeing the link to Amos chapple’s website the other day (which I enjoyed immensely) it got me thinking that it would be great if you could feature the work of other M43 photographers somewhere on your site. I’m in the middle of a year long trip through Asia, and have been documenting my photos on www.aaroninasia.com all of which have been shot with the panasonic gf1 and the 20mm and 14mm lenses. (anxiously awaiting the announcement of the gf pro…). I just thought that your readers may be interested in another website updated regularly with travel photography made exclusively with the M43 format. If you think it’s a good idea, please post the link to my website, it may encourage others to contact you to post links to their websites as well. I love finding out about new gear, but sharing the photos this gear makes would be great too!”
8 ) Johannes: “discovered this guy on the DPReview MFT forums: http://www.flickr.com/photos/weesam/ I don’t think he’s a professional photographer, but I really love some of his landscape pictures!”
Editors’s note: Thanks for sending me all those links! If you find more nice works drop me a text at 43rumors@gmail.com. Keep in mind that I might link to your work after days or weeks only!

I really like the colours in those photos by Florian. How is it done?
I love composition(s) in Emmanuel’s film!
I have been working on a series of night photos ‘Crystal Silence’ that I am shooting with a GH2. To make these images I wander the quiet night, observing what light and shadow simultaneously reveal and conceal.
I have posted Crystal Silence on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter in order to raise the necessary funds to slowly drive across the United States to finish shooting this project. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing and the deadline is coming up only one week from today! Please take a look and share the link.
Crystal Silence on Kickstarter can be found here:

I should add that on the Crystal Silence listing on Kickstarter you can view a very beautiful video/slideshow I made of Crystal Silence images set to music.
THIS IS AWESOME ADMIN!
Best way to encourage the 4/3 format is to show actual quality work done with it. The trolls can sit here and complain/argue about DxO and DOF, but there is no arguing with good photography. Who cares if it’s taken with a 4/3, APS-C, FF, or chocolate. If it’s good it’s good.
I would vote to have this as a regular thing on the site, or as a sidebar with exemplary work that gets updated maybe weekly.

Filming this project photographing at night … a few garbage cans …
There are always a few stupid people in large mass, fall for it,
you touch their religious feelings, it calls into the crowd, an answer already …
and gives money … A game with no real equivalent tasteless …

Read back for some great photos she’s taken with her PEN as well as funny and thought provoking commentary on her travels.
Beautiful short film!
Thanks for linking!
such a pity that this movie is in Franch only
99% of everything I shoot is captured with my loving GF1.

Excellent Captures. Thanks for sharing.
I keep up fairly regularly with this site, but must have missed the call for submissions.
Here’s a slideshow of 75 of my “best of” portraits from 2010 and the 1st half of 2011. It’s a mixture of professional and personal work, all taken with my Olympus E-PL1.

http://www.youtube.com/user/thetripforlife I’ve been traveling across the country producing a IPTV series on green and sustainable topics with the super spiffy GH2 and the 20mm as a cheap ‘creamy interview’ lens. Before that, I was using the lumix TS1, but I realized that with the GH2 and some home made equipment, I could get a pro look for pennies on the dollar. Love that camera, it constantly delights me.
