Don't know how you got this, but it's very cool (pun intended). Love the background, too.

WB :)

For such a small body, micro 4/3rds and the Lumix® G VARIO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. Lens that is quite a feet.
Camera Weight Approx. 396g / 0.87 lb （SD card, Battery, Body)
Lens Weight Approx. 520g / 1.14 lb
So Yes that's 916g / 2.1 lb amazing!

Hand held and making use of I.S.? I'd be keen to see how it would perform on a tripod or bean bag and a little extra PP done to remove some of the visible CA when enlarged...but in all honesty this is so much more convenient than lugging a DSLR and 100-300mm lens about especially for travel. There's no (OOC IQ) substitute (yet) for a DSLR especially an FX sensor with full frame glass but in 5 years time? Not bad $1100 for a 16MP camera with 200-600mm f/5.6 lens...

What are the manual controls like and flight photography like?

I think this one suffers from the 800 pixel limit. I almost missed it. I like the idea a lot, but it's so hard to tell this small. 8 but I have a feeling it's even more wonderful, and that 8 is probably a disservice. :(

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. This is a really compelling image - as much because of its strangeness as anything else. I think that's because the scene is not immediately recognisable - I can't really work out 'where' we are and the social context of the scene I'm looking at - I would say a large indoor space, but that's about it.

2. I really like the motion blur and how it seems to describe an arc. Did you swing the camera and then stop to overlay a more static scene?

3. The lights over there do much for the image - once again, it is the ambiguity of their context.

4. Some of the figures are marvellous - I'm actually less drawn to your main figure and istead find my eyes alighting on the central girl in the middle with the bag and the purposeful stride.

5. The overall light in the scene - just enough to make it interesting but not enough to lose the mystery.

Overall, a really interesting offering.

Really great quality shot. The bare limb and bare legs go together.

Excellent detail. He looks cold with that lifted foot and the light background (which was doubtless water but looks a lot like snow to me).
