Chinese New Year 2017

I reckon in a few years time when Hannah turns 10, we can do a series of CNY Family pictures to see how the kids have grown every year! As is tradition, here are our family photos on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Triggering these photos is quite a bit easier on the E-M1 than the cameras before that. The Nikons D300 and D7000 and E-M5 all had their turns over the years, and shots were taken using remote/wireless triggers that didn’t always work reliably. The E-M1 and GX85 though are WIFI enabled, and Olympus and Panasonic support these cameras with respective Smartphone apps – which make taking the extended family shots a cinch. It’s probably hard to tell: but my left hand in the first two pictures in this post is covered – because my fingers are behind triggering the shot!
