When the fog rolls

Two more photos I took at Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, WV, in 2012. I used a borrowed Olympus E-PL1 mirrorless camera with a 14-42mm 3.5-5.6 lens.
ISO 200
f/3.5
1/60s
ISO 200
f/5.6
1/125s

These are just wonderful. I must say that I prefer the first one, since the fog is more prominent. But the second one is also lovely.
I really think mirrorless is the way to go. Did that Olympus camera have an exposure compensation ring? Mine does and it allows all sorts of changes before you take the photo. And you can see through the lens which means you are able to more directly control the picture you get.
Anyway, great work!
They're better viewed full size by clicking right and then click Open in New Tab and click on the new tab to open the full photo.
The camera was pretty basic and simple to use. No compensation ring or viewfinder, only a screen.
I'm sure Andy would know about yours. Wish I could ask him!
I'll check out the full size photos.
It's worth looking at. I remember Andy talking about these cameras. They were very popular and Olympus could hardly keep up with the demand, I think.
On edit: The Wikipedia article goes on to talk about the history of the camera. Fascinating stuff!
So glad I found that link!
