This article features some September birding images captured handheld during a recent visit to Hendrie Valley. While there wasn’t an abundance of birds in the area during my visit… I was able to capture a reasonable number of images.

Heron Landing at 1680mm EFOV
This article shares 14 consecutive test images of a heron landing at 1680mm EFOV. These were captured a couple of days ago at Hendrie Valley. The past few months have been a challenge for me in terms of getting out with my camera gear. So much so that I was sadly in need of some practice.
M.Zuiko 90mm Macro Around the House
This article features handheld macro photographs captured late last week with the M.Zuiko 90mm Macro lens around the house. As I’ve gained more experience through my experimentation with the M.Zuiko 90mm f/3.5 PRO IS Macro lens, my approach to this genre of photography has shifted somewhat.
M.Zuiko 90MM PRO IS Macro Review
This article provides my M.Zuiko 90mm PRO IS Macro review and is based on a good amount of field work done over the past 6 or 7 weeks. As regular readers know this is not a gear review website. We only do hands-on reviews of equipment that we actually own and use.
Focus Stacking with Digital Teleconverter Test
Yesterday I spent some time doing a handheld in-camera focus stacking with digital teleconverter test with the M.Zuiko 90 mm f/3.5 PRO IS macro lens. I also had the M.Zuiko MC-14 teleconverter attached as part of my macro set-up.
I figured if I was going to push myself and my gear… I might as well try to break through a new personal, handheld macro boundary by combining the Handheld In-Camera Focus Stacking function with the Digital Teleconverter. And… and throw in the MC-14 for good measure.

Osprey at a Distance
During a couple of recent visits to Hendrie Valley I’ve had the chance to photograph an osprey at a distance, flying around the pond area.
These were ideal, real-life opportunities to see how the M.Zuiko 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 IS zoom would perform capturing a medium sized bird in flight at distances of at least 50 metres (~164 feet) from my shooting position.
M.Zuiko 150-600 with MC-14
This article shares some images captured with the M.Zuiko 150-600 and MC-14 teleconverter, and provides some personal observations about using this combination.
I spent a few days working with this combination, mainly experimenting with photographing birds in flight as I thought this would be the primary interest of readers.
BIF Shooting Style Adjustment
I went out today to experiment with a BIF shooting style adjustment so I could evaluate the feasibility of using a heavier lens for my bird photography. Like a number of other Olympus/OM System camera equipment users the new M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS super zoom has piqued my interest.
Amorous Swallows
This article features some images of amorous swallows pursuing their need to procreate, and continue the survival of their species.
Handheld Moon Photography Test
This article shares a handheld moon photography test image that I created yesterday evening using my E-M1X’s Digital Teleconverter and M.Zuiko MC-14 teleconverter. I’ve never been very interested in astral photography, and as regular readers know, I hate using a tripod. The combination of those two factors has resulted in me pretty much ignoring moon photography.
