“Olympus Talk Forum” photos sweep ePodunk homepages
When I was approving ePodunk user photos a few weeks ago, I came across the beautiful shot below of Pend Oreille River in Metaline Falls, WA. It was submitted by ePodunk user slengst and I quickly emailed her to tell her we were going to feature her photo on our homepage.
Little did I know that this photo would start an onslaught of professional-quality photos of places in the US, Canada, and UK. I had tapped into the resource known as the “Olympus Talk Forum,” an online discussion group made up of photo junkies, joined by their love of Olympus brand cameras. When slengst shared her triumph of winning an ePodunk homepage feature on the forum, the race was on.
Below are some of my favorite photos submitted by OTF members:
Rainbow and Mustard Fields in Freemont, CA
Submitted by ePodunk user Typeaux
Olympic Mountains from the Pike Place Market, Seattle, WA
Submitted by ePodunk user Straycat
Picadilly Circus (1980s) in London, England
Submitted by ePodunk user gmockrcpilot
These photographers have really stepped up the quality of ePodunk community photos… but will they continue to reign on the ePodunk homepage?To see the current homepage photo features, check out ePodunk, ePodunk Canada, ePodunk UK, and ePodunk Ireland.

What a terrific article, Emily! Thank you for mentioning Olympus Talk Forum (affectionately known as OTF). We are enjoying a friendly competition to see who can get the next ePodunk Home Page, but we are also happy to contribute informative photos for so many cities, towns, villages and podunks we visit. ePodunk is a terrific resource and the pictures add another dimension to the site. OTF members are happy to oblige!
