I recently wrote an article on my blog about images captured with the Olympus E-M1 and the Olympus PT-EP11 underwater housing using a Panasonic 8mm f/3.5 fisheye. They are a range of ‘Mocean Blurs’. I used slow handheld, shutter speeds (as low as 1/20sec) to capture lightning and waves breaking in a storm.

Uli and Surflove…GREAT STUFF!?
Wish that I could participate…but I don’t do facebook…. 🙁
No matter how once should owe a Facebook account , whether you use it or not is another matter .
You have no friends ?
You don’t need stuffs updates ?
You don’t spy gals around you ?
I call it fake book. Life is too short for that silly nonsense. 🙂
For some reason I can’t view any photos on the FB page except the profile picture and those in official posts…
Really nice pic the one in the train station, great blurr and gorgeous model
Hey Ulli, nice one! Also like Mocean Blur (better than your lightning pics, which were great already) and the doggies (nice overall scene, let’s your eye wander around).
Aha! There you go Ulli, right on top of the post! Great!
And there’s more great stuff to see: Locsmandisz, Chris, Olivier, Сергей, and those are just my favorites, can’t deny the rest also looks great.
Ulliiiiii way to go haha! Is that bokeh natural? It has a swirley feel to it. Anyway nice fashion looking shot..
Love the “Mocean Blur” naming very smart..
Locsmandisz’s ghosting is nice too..
Maybe the trainstation’s roof might give some impression about the BG giving swirl? This is a location I use alot because of the light quality for portraits. Thx 🙂
Ugh.
Thank you for the compliments everyone yay!
Can’t believe this .
Fellow Ulli top photo of the week again with such so ordinary portrait .
Well done to him .
thanks Yun 🙂
Well afterall the mft crowd is quite “ordinary” what did u expect 🙂 Anyway hope to c some of your work up here soon and I’ll be the first to give you complements!
Shot of guy smoking with straw hat…stands out with sharpness and contrast so great that you can tell it’s the Nocti without checking the creds. Great lens!!!
Definitely a great lens, thanks Bob!
You are welcome. I think it is the sharpness AND contrast of this lens that makes it stand out! Nice shot.
After reading your comment, I needed to check it again as that looks like Olympus 45mm f/1.8 or 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro quality. The Nocticron isn’t so amazing as it is by Leica-fans wanted to believe. Great by its widest aperture but not so unique by look and sharpness.
Sorry from popping your bubble.
In good day light , yes no much different although the Nocticron still have the edge in sharpness & LEICA rendering .
But once you hit poor whether , you will definitely notice the prowess of this LEICA certified optic
You forgot to add:
Sincerely, an Olympus Fanboy.
I mean seriously? It HAS to look like one of two Olympus branded lenses? It can’t look like a Lumix/Leica lens? Gimmie a BREAK!
i think the nocticron could have a different signature in rendering compared with a summilix. And we all know that fast lenses are less moodful on mft then on bigger sensors,
I dont know how you compare the Nocticron, a mzuiko 45 or the 12-40 at same working distances and light and background scenario looks less moodful then Gonzalo ‘s sample (as mentioned before i would have preferred a BW version mood-wise). The 45 shot I did was easier in this because the location and everything were more ideal to make use of it and the half body shot is perfect for showing of such. a sitting full body is still harder in this.
Juurikas…you did not burst my bubble. You entertain me. I own the olympus 45mm f/1.8 AND the 12-40mm zoom. The are both good optics. Trust me..the Nocti sets itself apart from both of these. Like I said…as soon as my eye viewed that image I knew it was the Nocti…and not the other aforementioned Oly lenses. You stay in your bubble I will stay in mine…It’s all good.
i think the lens , in this case the photo, would be better in BW but thats just my opinion.
B/w shot of the oriental woman is great. Love the bleached look. 1950s Italian feel.
Great photos one and all, but Sergey Hutnyk’s iron bars and snow de-facto abstraction strikes me as exceptional. It’s beautiful in concept and execution.
Sebrina is OK, the rest says, stop wasting money on camera toys, they are wasted on you, even petty m43. Yes, some images really speak!
Ulli, your portrait is wonderful! Can I ask you how you did the lighting?
