After a week of consistently rubbish weather, today offered some sunny skies and I popped out to try our new wide angle lens, acquired a week ago but not yet used.
For a four thirds camera there is a choice of the Panasonic 7-14mm or the Olympus 9-18mm. The Panasonic is meant to be slightly better for image quality, but it is bigger, heavier and 50% more expensive. So we got the Olympus.
Off to a nearby temple and tried some wide angle shots. The results looked acceptable.
Walked round the corner and there was a conveniently placed cow and an inconveniently placed tree trunk.
I tried to persuade the cow to move to a more photogenic spot, but it was too stupid to understand me. So instead I changed to the Contax 45mm and just photographed the cow.
It dawned on me that Thai cows are a similar beige colour to Thai soi dogs. Presumably if a cow/dog has enough sex with enough passing cows/dogs of varying hues over several generations; the resulting colour will be beige. I rock at genetics.
