These photos are from an occasion where our small workgroup ended up on a small training project located on a campus site that had been vacated sometime before our arrival. Spaces and buildings were left idle in a state of disrepair, unkempt, and open to the elements. These are simple and straightforward head-on shots, where a point-and-shoot camera like the Olympus Pen EF might be all that you need. Compact and handy, fun, the EF is a very easy camera to work with.

All you need to do is load the film, set the appropriate film ASA speed, and off you go. Any potentially underexposed image will be blocked by the red pop-up flag system, which you still can overcome with the shutter lock trick.

Olympus Pen EF

The Olympus Pen EF is one of my favorite point-and-shoot cameras (the other one being the Olympus XA 1). I have also done a few posts with the camera before this, as well as doing a short write-up on it, and I am sure it will stay as part of my camera collection for quite a while yet. Grab one if you have the chance to own it!
