(placing two somewhat related\/unrelated images together and having that interplay evoke more studying or pondering over a composition that would otherwise pass by even quicker in this doom scrolling era) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>While that Fuji camera would be cool to own, I&#8217;m sure it will be pretty expensive and hard to get as usual. (<em>update: it&#8217;s called the Fuji X Half and is a paltry $825<\/em>! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The other day I remembered that my old beat up Olympus E-M1 has a dedicated mode on the dial (along with P, S, A, M, Movie, SCN, ART) that Oly calls PHOTO STORY. It creates these photo juxtapositions in-camera!<\/p>\n<p>Basically it has pre installed layouts\/masks and you can take pictures in real time and place them as if you are making a book.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a pretty neat feature and I seriously never even considered using it until the other day.\u00a0 Olympus always had these over the top ART presets since my E-PL1 days (one of their first m4\/3 cameras circa 2010!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"104465\"
