Mark - beautiful job - you have really captured the essence of that area of the country - very well put together.

Mark, was all of this footage really shot with the EX-1?

I am extremely impressed . . .

You should consider selling it to a stock footage library, like IStockPhoto.com, or some other stock footage libraries.

Excellent...it's great to see what these cameras can do in the right hands!

Thanks for not shooting it with a 35mm adapter! Everything looks nice and sharp with great depth of field. Looks good. It's nice to see what the camera can do when you don't put so many more levels of glass in front of it.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Appreciated. Brian, yes, it was all from the EX1, shot over the past year and most of it is up as stock already at pond5, there's a link from my site.

I too have a set of curtains like those featured. Never thought about filming them or my old mug of tea.

Nice lighting all the same.

Very nice Mark. Was this shot at 1080i or 1080p?

Curtains? I don't know about curtains Vincent but if you want to film your old tea mug I'll gladly have a look.

1080p John, I don't do anything interlaced anymore.

Oh.... the curtains in Johannes' video, I see now. I thought you were making a joke or something.

As a fellow Washingtonian. Great job Mark! There's a lot of time and effort capturing all those images. Well done!

(unfortunately we live on the desert side of the state, but it has some beauty as well)

Thank you Mitchell. I love the east side actually, nothing unfortunate about it. Especially the road from Grand Coulee down to Soap Lake; and the Palouse, which I've just recently discovered. Really a special place.

Yes, it was in Johannes' video. I guessed we were at crossed lines, that's the trouble when people put links to their video clips within someone else's thread.

However, I enjoyed your video Mark, superb photography, I can almost taste Washington from here.

Well, I shot a thunderstorm from the balcony of my hotel in Dallas with my EX-3. I captured a single frame in case you would like to see it:
