Been busy and have been away for a while. However, I did manage to do a small photoshoot with my nieces and nephew. Here are two that I could process. Both were made with OM-D + 75mm + SB-24 through a QBox 24.

Wow, I really like the second one.

Thank you Samurai! Glad you liked it, that lens is truly magical. Also, Silver Efex Pro and Color Efex Pro did help me quite a bit for the second photograph.

Here are some macros from last month:

Apart from the lens, I realised there was something magical in the BW processing of the second pic. Couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks for the info. I rarely get any time these days to focus on photography. Need to get back to that after my long todo list is done.

IMO, the entire Nik collection is a steal for $125 (with some promo codes). The 75mm is extremely sharp, so I had to smoothen the skin a tad and silver efex pro gives nice control on the tones. You can see the zones and adjust the tones accordingly. I haven't done a whole lot of photography either :(. I intend to visit Colorado for some fall photography next month, looking forward to that trip.

Thanks for liking the macro photographs too. Those were shot with a Nex-5N & Leica Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm lens. That's turning out to be my favorite macro combo, I might just end up selling the rest of the legacy macro lenses I have. But, in all honesty, the light played a pretty big role for the first photograph. There was a bit of diffused golden light for a minute and I was fortunate to have been trying to shoot that bug at that moment.

@Hellwrath
I second Samurai's take. Awesome shot that one.
Sharing a few portraits from a recent shoot.
