My thing with the Oly sensor is landscape. It’s the green man, I can’t get over it. It renders it too neon like and it’s not natural. I have to dial it all the way down in lighroom to get it looking more natural. Why? It’s like even with RAW files Olympus pumps up the saturation. I’m not a fan of that man. Oh, great photo’s for the week by the way….carry on.
Not sure what exactly you’re talking about, only red is a bit over the top, but this is quite common problem for digital cameras. Just get yourself color passport and never have any problems with color again. You can make all cameras look exactly same with it. Lightroom and dxo at least have decent camera profiles, use them.
I need to learn how to do this. Could you point me some links? Thanks
In lightroom it’s in camera calibration, default is “adobe standard”, select profile for your camera. DXO if i remember right will download necessary modules automatically and is a lot more precise, especially with lens data.
If you want even more exact colors, use something like x-rite colorchecker passport, search in google or youtube to see how it works. For me lightroom profiles are good enough most of the time, but i do have x-rite colorchecker
Thank you
Many of those great photos were shot with Oly sensors. Which particular Sensor is giving you this ‘problem’? Perhaps you could upload a few of these defective RAW files so that we can have a look at this ‘problem’.
It’s not a problem. It’s a choice in how the RAW file is rendered. It’s not only olympus but any APSC or M43 sensor I’ve used. I like my colors more neutral in general before editing. The full frame cameras I’ve used seem to be more color accurate.
Kodachrome 64.
Ha ha, you can tell an APS-C or Micro Four Thirds shot just by the color? Wow, that’s quite a talent you have there. Any recent sensor can give you just about any color you want in RAW. There’s something to be said about a sensor that gives you the color (subjective) you want with little work, but if you can’t get “good color” out any recent digital camera, it’s you not your gear.
Toys will be toys. Try Canon or Nikon, you will be surprised how good a camera can be, and also cost less.
Harry drives a beige Camry too 🙂
The picture oft Rihards is really awesome!
So far I have submitted 4 pictures but none of them made it into the photo collection on https://www.facebook.com/43rumors/photos. It looks like my message don’t get through. Has anyone had the same problem before? 🙁
Thank you!
Some really great shots here with a lot of variety.
brawo Diana and Rafał dr5000.com! Take a look at their photos – I love them!
1, 8, 4, 3 are wonderful – well done!
I really enjoy these weekly picture roundups. They remind us that the readers of this site aren’t just tech junkies sitting at home shooting brick walls and filming unboxings of new gear, but real photographers who are out and about in the real world. That’s not always obvious when reading some of the comments.
Keep up the series. It is a good idea even though nothing in this particular set jumps out to me except for the Ukrainian plane — were the skies really split like that in real life? If so, wow, great timing & framing!
Are you serious ? Did you look at Varivchenko’s flckr work ? All his photos are excellent with an outstanding lightning + postprocessing.
Do I have to like everything that he does? I have liked some of his stuff featured here before, but this one does not float my boat. I didn’t say it’s not good, it just does nothing to me.
Hey, thanks! Here’s the original image. I removed the trees in the submitted picture and just added the paint 🙂

I mean… yeah, the skies were split, and the landing was epic, but these would be extremely rare conditions on earth for clouds to be lit like that, if possible at all, so sorry If that was a disappointment.
Outstanding images!
Can someone point me to where the 75mm is on sale at BestBuy? The link still shows $899.
Boring, cliche and the usual lack of 3d. We have a combination of poor creativity and poor tech here. The boy with the green umbrella is cool though.
Funny, I use and like m43 very much, but that would be my one complaint about the system, too. You can make stunning images with them but somehow they tend to lack that feeling of depth. The fast lenses have blur, but they still feel oddly rather flat. Even the 75mm Olympus. The 25mm Summilux is the only lens I see that could consistently give some of it.
