Earlier this year my wife and I visited the Ryan Premises National Historic Site as part of our Newfoundland photography mini tour. This was not one of our original planned stops. Since we were facing yet another wet and foggy day, we decided to do some indoor photography and learn about some of the history of this area of Newfoundland at this National Historic Site.

Travel Images With 14-150
Last week I had an opportunity to spend about an hour at Peggy’s Cove capturing some travel images with the M.Zuiko 14-150 mm II zoom.

It was a whirlwind visit that saw us drive over 4,250 kilometres during the 10 days we were away.
Why I Prefer Zoom Lenses
This article discusses a number of reasons why I prefer using zoom lenses rather than shooting with prime lenses.

This article features a selection of handheld photographs captured with the M.Zuiko 14-150 II with extension tubes.
