So I have a confession to make guys !! I cheated on my D500 with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and the 7-14mm 2.8

With my work I was able to go along to an Olympus event at a disused prison here in the UK.

I was there as tech and sales help but I couldnt resist taking some shots myself, as I didnt plan on taking any photos I left the camera in the office so I grabbed one of the ones they were lending to the people at the event, here is some of what I got, all lit with the Rotolight Aeos.

Very nice shots! How did you like the Oly? I hope to add that lens this year...,

It was nice, very intuitive compared to the Sony and their menus. I shot exclusively on that lens and it was a great piece of kit ! I was shooting high in the ISO intentionally to add some grain and noise because of the scenario.

Great work, even if you are a cheating Olympus paramore?

Thanks !! As it was an Olympus based event I thought it would be rude for me to take my Nikon along, plus the fact I was there demoing the lights more than anything else I really didint plan on taking any footage except for BTS.

Turns out everyone loved the lights and after the questions I had spare time :)

I just saw another photo of the prison on the ON1 site, that someone took probably while you were there. He said he used and OLY camera and LED Rotolights. And I think the same model. Ha!

Your pictures tend to prove the point that the photographer matters more than the camera brand. Heck, a good photographer can take good pictures even with a Canon, or a smartphone.

That would have been us !! lol

We had 2 setups, they decided to do a floor with Rotolight LED's and a floor with flash, by the time we got to group 2 it was getting dark and I had to lend an Aeos to the flash floor so that they could get focus ...

I obviously stayed in the LED floor as I was there for questions and answers about the Rotolight products but we exclusively used the Aeos (even though I had the Neo 2 and Anova PRO 2 there :) )
