Re: Morning Dew
Nice wide angle effect.
Did you need an adapter for the Rokinon lens on an EPL-1?

Re: Morning Dew
Hi J.
I'm sure when you saw this, it was an impressive view. In the photograph, however, the water droplets do not appear to sparkle as brilliantly as when you saw them. Human vision is very adaptive and what you saw with your eyes is sometimes difficult to capture in the camera.
As a suggestion for the future, try to position yourself where distracting elements like the wires do not show.

Re: Morning Dew
I agree with you Ken .. the photo is disapointing and shows a lack of knowledge on my part to record what I saw.
The mft Rokinon fits on the E-PL1 as any other MFT lens. Since I bought it body only it seemed a good place to put it rather than changing lens on my 'big' camera. Since I hardly know how to use the Oly it gets used more or less as a P&S ... click the shutter and hope for the best
The wires are a feature of my garden that have to be lived with or edited out. Didn't think it was warrented here or sufficiently intrusive to bother about. I do not think I like the distortion either but rather than spend time correcting I am living with what the lens gives me .... one day I hope it will give me something to write home about
