  1. <p>Friends,<br> I recently acquired an Olympus OM4T and the official instruction book (four language). <br> I notice what appears to be a red light located on the top deck between the shutter release and the hilight button. The light doesn't light up when I take a spot meter reading or multiple spot readings, or so it seems.<br> What is the purpose of the light and how does it function?<br> Thanks.<br> Steven King</p>

  4. Marcello, You shot a very serviceable news photo. It may not have the drama for a front page photo in most papers, but would make a good inside photo. I have a couple of suggestions to make the photo stronger. First, I don't know your intention, but I would crop about a third of the top of the photo out. It doesn't add to the photo unless your point is to make Melbourne the topic of the photo. As Bill Allard always says, edit out anything that is not the picture. I wonder if the photo is a "Hail, Mary" shot taken with the camera held high about your head??? I always take several photos when shooting such a way, each with the camera tilted a little more up (or down) to ensure I get a framing that is best. My second suggestion is that while the picture has impact for the scale of the march and the people involved, there is no particular focal point or subject for the photo. Whenever I have to make a photo of such an event, I try to find a particular person or emotion or something that becomes the focus of the picture with the event being the context. Unless, as I said, the point of the photo is the size of the crowd. Anyway, just my ramblings. Good shooting. Steven

  6. <p>Mike,<br> <br />I shoot with a 35-70mm f 2.8 D AF on a DX body. Instead of the HN-22 or an HB-1, which are the recommended hood for the lens, I use an HN-24 or HN-25 with no vignetting or any other problem. More shade with no downside.<br> <br />Regards, Steven</p>
