I was alone and they were walking several meters before me.
As soon I saw the sofa I decided to make an image with it. They reached 
the horizon at more or less the same time I found the frame, so I just 
pressed the button :)

Thank you very much.

I rarely go up f4 @ iso 64 with the oly (mostly f2.6-1.8), and I havent 
experienced too many problems with purple fringe or noise, perhaps why 
I tend to use it in RAW mode. Imho those compact lenses seems to work 
better wide open or near than the higher stops because the diffraction 
makes them perform worser than they can.

As far as I can manage it with an acceptable speed, I'll stick with the 
wider aperture. DOF isnt an issue with compact digicams.

No, I never do that kind of "creative" things in my personal 
photography production, only the usual RAW processing. I always 
preferred the direct copy than a lot of post-processing, like 
slide-shooting, no matter if its film or digital.
