That's the Madrona Pt on Vancouver Island. Just north of Nanaimo on Northwest Bay. About 3 minutes from my house :)

Yes... good quality. What lighting you using for vid? Pic if fixed to house/bar would be nice.

Not sure if the E-PL1 can (like the E-PM1), but have you tried taking a still while in vid mode.

Nice! I like the red eye medusa in there. It even pulses to the music.

Using 2 i Torch pro video 5. Approx 1500 lumens a piece. Each one on a flex arm/tray. Not sure about taking a snap during recording. It can be set to take one at the end of recording. Have to give that a try.
