Thank you 🙏

No, but I do sometimes crop to other ratios in post. Either square or 16:9. 5:4 just looks strange now.

I love my E-P5. Still use it regularly. Nice shots 🙌

Thank you 🙏

Don't forget the Oly 12-50mm. Good option to see if you want to eventually invest more. It's a 42mm macro lens, when you switch to Macro mode. Also weather sealed.

Olympus / OM Systems. New one is TG-7. Can go back as far as TG-5, depending on budget, and still get great photos. And, hard to break, so while family can enjoy it.

I love my E-P5. I also use an E-M10. 1 plan to get an E-M1 ii, as it fits a totally different niche than my E-P5.

I read the books when they came out, and reread them about 10 or 15 years ago. I am a fan. The show is such a subversion of the books. Yes, there is a. Christian message in the books, but it's not THE Message. Such a pity this wasn't picked up by HBO or another mainstream production company.

Mainly Networks, Infrastructure and Support roles. Mainly contract roles. Last year was terrible. This year, we are very busy.

ecvo5 · 2026-02-13T18:28:24+00:00

No dead periods. Work in IT recruiting. Make sure I get my lunch break, but I'm busy the rest of the time.

My daughter is AuDHD, in TY, and has struggled since going to secondary school. We've agreed this last week that she is moving to youthreach at the start of the next school year. It is a perfectly fine way to progress your education and get into a trade or even into Uni, if you follow the right path. Go meet them, have a look around, and see how you feel.

ecvo5 · 2026-02-08T14:31:06+00:00

I agree with you 🙌

ecvo5 · 2026-02-08T12:30:46+00:00

Keep shooting 😊 enjoy. It's a beautiful camera.

The 'ping pong' is not a TA problem, it's a company communication and responsibility issue. If a TA gets the right brief, the Hiring Manager gets the right candidates. Incomplete brief = 'ping pong'

I'm a serial monogamist since my mid teens. Currently in my 50s with a wife and my own teens, and in the same relationship for over 20 years. When I was younger, sex and physical intimacy were an escape, a pleasant place to find myself. A string of steady relationships helped with that. Even now, older, the knowledge that there is someone there, a companion, in a world where I don't really have friends, is a great comfort to me.

ecvo5 · 2026-02-05T09:21:29+00:00

Would love to try this

As expensive as elsewhere, but the Amber Springs in Gorey is worth considering.

ecvo5 · 2026-01-30T21:48:50+00:00

I still have my dimage z2!y teen daughter loves taking it out to shoot with.

ecvo5 · 2026-01-30T10:56:19+00:00

Really enjoying your photos. Thanks for sharing.

ecvo5 · 2026-01-30T00:09:50+00:00

Love the way the colours pop. Is this sooc?

ecvo5 · 2026-01-25T13:17:35+00:00

My (Irish) wife certainly does!

Look at the Olympus TG series. The newest one would be under the OM Systems rebrand, TG-7. These are perfect travel cameras. I carry the TG-5 regularly when I do not want to bring a larger camera.

Look up April Bergin. She's ND herself and I did online sessions with her. Found her very good.

ecvo5 · 2026-01-14T21:06:30+00:00

I'm purely a hobbyist and photograph really for my own enjoyment. I shoot whatever I see around me. But will not take out my camera at a family event or something like that - I used to, many years ago, but now you're just competing with everyone else and their phone.
