Dry Run

Doing a dry run with the camera equipment planned to be used for an extended photography tour, is always a prudent thing to do. Our initial gear assessments can have us lean in a certain direction. It’s not until we get out in the field and spend some time doing a dry run, that we can put our thought process to the test.

Fun at the Aquarium

I had some fun at the aquarium a few months ago when my wife and I accompanied our daughter and our grandchildren to a local attraction. I haven’t had many opportunities to experiment with this type of photography in the past. Expecting a crowded environment, I borrowed my wife’s OM-D E-M1 Mark III and used it with my M.Zuiko PRO 12-40 mm f/2.8 zoom.

This article shares a number of photographs of swallows in-flight and discusses my journey with this subject matter over the past number of years.

Why I Prefer Practicing With Gulls

This article discusses why I prefer practicing with gulls, and shares an extensive selection of new images recently captured at 40 Mile Creek in Grimsby.

Some photographers seem to view gulls as nothing more than a nuisance… and they don’t bother trying to photograph them at all. From my perspective, of all of the bird species I could choose to photograph in-flight, it is difficult for me to identify better practice birds than gulls.

HHFS Flowers with 100-400

This article features a selection of HHFS flowers captured with the M.Zuiko 100-400 mm f/5-6.3 IS zoom lens. Often when we think about handheld in-camera focus stacking (HHFS) when photographing flowers, using a macro lens come to mind… rather than a long telephoto zoom lens.
