I love Autumn. Not just because my birthday is coming up either... so many photo "ops". Today's was the produce on display at one of Montreal's more popular markets - Marché Atwater. These squash and flower images just popped for me and I had to capture them. I waited for the sun to conceal itself behind some clouds to diffuse the light - thus avoiding the harsh shadows. It is like using one gigantic softbox... and with my 28-108mm (35mm equivalent) lens, I was in my glory. The Olympus E-30 has rewarded me with so many great images. In the film days, I had a Pentax K1000 and later a Nikon FM2 and when things were decidedly heading digital, I went to Nikon first but the Olympus 4/3 system (E-500 at the time) just fit my hand right and felt solid for me. I could easily have gone to Canon as well, but the OLY just "felt" right for me. More compact lenses also means less weight when I have all my stuff (3 lenses and camera body, batteries mem cards etc.) with me on the road. Anyway, I am rambling on. Give the pics a lookover and let me know what you think. Cheers for now - Gordon
