I can’t speak for other photographers, but I’ve found that a periodic skills tune-up can be beneficial to support a wide range of photographic competencies. This article shares a number of recent test/practice photographs. I would normally show finished images in my articles, including any cropping that needed to be done.
All of the photographs in this posting were processed in post from RAW files. The images are shown without any cropping as I felt it may be more beneficial for readers to see the full frame captures of these practice images.
This article discusses some basic auto focus considerations and was prompted by a few emails that I recently received from readers. Some of these emails had questions that were specific to the OM-1. Since I have never used this camera, and have no plans to do any kind of review on it, I’m unable to comment specifically on that model.
Happenstance can be defined as a chance situation. Or something that occurred because of particular circumstances, although it was not planned. As photographers we are often beneficiaries of happenstance. This is regularly the case with bird photography.
This article shares some blue jay pond take-off photographs and discusses how birds can signal their intention to take flight. Some commentary about the use of Pro Capture is also included. These images were photographed handheld through my kitchen window.
This article features a selection of images of small birds-in-flight captured handheld with an M.Zuiko MC-14 Teleconverter at Grimsby Wetlands. These photographs were taken earlier in the spring during a particularly productive visit to Grimsby Wetlands (also referred to locally as Biggar Lagoons Wetlands).
This article features a selection of handheld images of wasps in flight captured with the M.Zuiko PRO 40-150 mm f/2.8 zoom lens. All of the photographs featured in this article were captured at the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) during a 1/2 hour period.
This article shares a selection of handheld images of sparrows by the pond in my backyard. All photographs were captured through my kitchen window which overlooks the pond.
This article features a selection of handheld photographs of Barn Swallow… many of which are in flight. The images were captured at Hendrie Valley. In my local area I typically have many more opportunities to capture images of Tree Swallows as compared to Barn Swallows. This is mainly due to an abundance of nesting boxes that are frequented by Tree Swallows.
