A 6 day vacation in Manila to Clark to Baguio with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and M.Zuiko 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 ED. Will be talking about my time in Manila to Clark to Baguio and my opinion of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and kit 12-50mm lens.

While my uncle was busy purchasing items, I took the liberty to take a quick shot of the busy street. The roads where filled with vendors selling items and people using the road as if it were a sidewalk. With people and vendors on the road, Car's were just not able to move so much.

On our way to dinner. While in the car shot this beautiful reddish colours of the sky with the buildings silhouette. Taken at ISO 12800 and too much editing, hence the noise.

Dinner at the Marines. Think this is Sizzling Tofu. I don't really like tofu much but this was near ok for me.
P6010031.
Not sure what this is. I never once looked at the Menu. Sizzling Corn with Beef and mushroom i guess. Anyway, it was delicious. The meat was perfect.

Another food I do not know of. Looks like Balinsasayaw soup to me, with some veggies and I think Chicken meat. Again, I do not know much about food.

Fixing the Glanza. After a long travel from Manila to Clark, it just wouldn't start. Fortunately they were able to find out the problem and the Glanza started again.

Changing Tires.
Tire changing mishap. The car fell down without a tire on, with the jack still stuck in the middle of the car after attempting to change the tire on the right side of the vehicle. Fortunately everything was ok.
Foto is of my cousin's and friend laughing and attempt to fix the unfortunate incident.

Dynamic range of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 is really good. This foto was about 2 to 3 stops darker and I was able to recover details from the shadows. A lot better than my Nikon D50 or Olympus Pen E-P2.
As we waited for the other racers to finish. We went to Classic Speed to check out their restored mustang's. Here we wait for our friend to ask permission to let us inside the facility. Classic speed specializes in the restoration and modification of 60's Mustangs. Link to their site http://www.classicspeedinc.com/

When we got back at Clark International Speedway from Classic Speed, the Grid race was about to start. This time all cars will race for first place but must not go over the time limit or will break out. which means the car that doesn't go over the limit will be 1st place despite it's place during the race. In this race my cousin's friend was able to overtake for 4th or was it 3rd place but unfortunately because he went over the time limit he broke out and thus the car he overtook took 1st place.

Testing the Touch screen focus and shutter feature of the Olympus OM-D E-M5. Despite it being a fun feature, it irritates me that everytime my hand goes over the sensor on the EVF, specially with the tilt screen looking up, it automatically switches me from the organic LED screen to EVF hence it sometimes makes you lose the shot because of the delay from screen to EVF or vice versa. Non-the-less it's still a feature I will definitely use in very few occasions.

Honda Civics. From old to new.
Art Filter. One of the feature my friends really like playing with. Not something I am a fan of since I mostly shoot raw again. But it is sometimes a fun feature. In this foto I am using the diorama which is my favourite.

Super car coming through. Nissan GTR, one of my favourite super cars to date. Too bad I didn't see it race.

Though the Olympus OM-D E-M5 has a very fast focusing mechanism. The focus tracking is not for this type of shooting.
