The John Madejski Garden
I adored the E3, which is aimed the professional market; I felt I could quickly get used to it given half a chance.
This shot is of the John Madejski Garden, a magical place in the moonlight and recently created as part of the V&A refurbishement. I'd say money well spent, do come and have a look if you haven't seen the V&A in a while. Here is another shot, and you can see someone else's impression of the evening here

post a commentDespite my insane jealousy at your chumminess with Olympus - can you introduce a friend? - i observe that this photo is just great. Adore those reflections. Glad you had a good time GRR.
Send them over to Cheltenham will you?
Great shot Ham. I like the way the sweeping lines of the steps lead the eye through the picture.
Thanks Ham :)
I think the link should be http://mgphotography.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/launch-of-the-olympus-e-3-in-london/ since my blog sometimes moves fast :)
The John Madejski garden is gorgeous. The problem for us with longer memory is that at a rough reckoning the V & A changed that garden about three times in the last fifteen years, each time spending huge amounts of money on it. Let us hope they will stick with this one. I presume it is called after John Madesjski for a reason - that's where the money came from.
I must say that I think I read every word of this post and looked at the linked pages too. I like what you wrote and how you wrote it all and the new camera sounds like it might be something for me to investigate. I have Canon cameras which are very nice but Canon still puts the emphasis on the lens for IS and not the body. I think it is a mistake but they are starting to correct it in some of their cheaper models.
Anyway, my son is a pro photographer and shoots everything from nudes to golf courses and among his cameras are digital ones but his favorites are all Olympus. I suppose he has either seen this new model or will.
Nice post, Ham.
I doubted and double checked...today is the second anniversary of London Daily Photo! Dear Ham, happy anniversary and best wishes to you and Mrs Ham :-)
Lynn - I can ask
Sheymouse - thankyou, 'twas a beautiful sight
Ghene - well, I thought latecomers could look through more of what you have :-)
OML - Your results with your Canon gear are always exceptional. The big deal of the Olympus gear is their size and weight, and bangs for bucks. The pro lenses are really rally cool. Did you see the EXIF data? these shots were handheld at 1/5 & 1/3 second? I suppose you must have given your comments on the body based IS.
Lisi - what can I say?? you are so right, thank you. I would have forgotten completely.
...I've already ordered my E-3...can't wait for it to arrive.
Lucky old you to get the D. Bailey.

Would appreciate it Ham.
What a great swimming pool. I never knew the V & A had one.
Very Nice Shot. Love the reflections and the lighting.
Cool capture...
