Featured Photographer: Vern Dewit

While browsing the 'Buy and Sell' forum at Fred Miranda, I came across a thread which began, "Due to my never ending quest for the perfect hiking / mountaineering camera I am selling my GH1 in anticipation of my new GF1 and the recent acquiring of an Olympus EP1". After seeing the photographs in that thread started by Vern Dewit, I went and had a look at his Zenfolio gallery and asked to feature his work on Serious Compacts.

Vern lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and enjoys spending time outdoors in the Rocky Mountains west of the city. Looking at his photography, it's easy to see why. A few of his recent photographs, all taken with the GH1 (and various Micro Four Thirds kit lenses) are shown below. Click a photo to view a larger version.

Vern's work is amazing! You should see the shots he did with the DP1 I sold him a while back. They really show what a talented photographer can do with the camera.
Nice colors and composition, but some of those landscapes look really faked to me. Lots of photoshop going on. The water in that last photo looks ridiculous.

Not ridiculous if you know why it looks that way:

It isn't Photoshop.

Not the color, but the lake looks sloppily blurred, and some of the surrounding area as well. Also notice the weird blurring on the far right side of the first photo. I just don't get a "natural" sense when I look at that photo. Something's off.
