It’s a sure sign of old age – in the last week, my back experienced intense pain after carrying Hannah up. On the first occasion last weekend, and because I’d forgotten that I have a bad back, I lifted Hannah up high past eye-level, and the second occasion just this morning, even something as normally minor as lifting Hannah up into the NTUC Fairprice trolley cart caused an immediate ache.<\/p>\n

An ongoing discussion about lenses with a blog visitor reminded me that the Olympus 45mm and Panasonic 14mm haven’t been receiving much love since the 25mm and 17mm have become the two mainstays on the E-M5 and E-PL6. The 45mm is still regarded as one of the m4\/3 systems finest primes, and though the 14mm isn’t quite in the same league optically, it was picked up for really cheap and a wonderfully small pancake lens that I can use very discretely in public places. The 45mm will be especially tricky out of the house though given how much subject distance I’ll need just for an upper body portrait.<\/p>\n

The first round of pictures using the two lenses weren’t so good – I’d gotten so used to the 25mm\/17mm that I misjudged depth of field for a couple of pictures I took of Peter and Mommy shot wide-opened (basically, Mommy looked great right down to her facial pores, but Peter’s skin textures were all lost). Below are a couple that turned out alright. The first one’s using the 14mm, and next three with the 45mm – all shot at maximum aperture.<\/p>\n

Say cheese. The living room is a little dark – we are so not going with warm lighting in the new house.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was a fun picture at Coffee Bean. Hannah is getting really good interacting with Peter and trying to make him laugh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
