[Leica] IMG: Rainy Day Shots

[Jim Nichols]

Because of a stormy weather system moving through, I won't be out 
looking for flowers today.  I decided to see what my indoor blind had to 
offer.  This is a shop bathroom with the screen removed, allowing me to 
follow the wildlife activities in my back yard.

I decided to explore the "Digital Zoom" feature of my Olympus E-M1, to 
add a little more reach to the 50-200 SWD lens.  The manual says it is 
approximately equivalent to a 2X Extender.  To be honest, I was 
pleasantly surprised.  Here are two examples.

A Gray Squirrel  looking for sunflower seeds beneath a bird feeder:

A Black Capped Chickadee preparing to grab a seed and fly up in the oak 
tree:

As I was typing this email, lightning momentarily knocked out power in 
my neighborhood.  The email disappeared.
