This article shares some images taken during a Tobermory Wave Adventure Cruise my wife and I did several weeks ago. Tobermory is a well-known shipwreck diving location. There is also a ferry terminal from which the Chi-Cheemaun sails to Manitoulin Island and back. Tobermory is a very popular destination to hike the Bruce Trail.

M.Zuiko 14-150 mm f/4-5.6 II Review
The M.Zuiko 14-150 mm f/4-5.6 II zoom lens is a wonderfully flexible piece of kit that is sometimes undervalued by folks. This article provides some first hand insights on this lens. These are based on some time using this lens, observing my wife using it in the field, and working in post with files produced with it. We’ve owned this lens for over 4 years and have found it to be reliable, and a joy to use.
Must Have Myths
The internet is full of must have myths, and this is particularly true when it comes to photography gear and related equipment. I can’t speak for other folks, but some of the worst photographic purchases I’ve made were based on must have recommendations that I got from other people. Of course the ultimate blame for those purchase errors lies with me… for having followed ill-advised suggestions.
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.
Photographing Horse Jumping
This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph some horse jumping at a local event in the Hamilton area. This was my first experience with this type of subject matter so some intensive, on-site planning was required.
Importance of Ergonomics
The importance of ergonomics was strongly reinforced for me this past weekend when I participated in a ‘one time only’ extended family event. It was one of those occasions when you absolutely want to come away from a gathering with as many good quality photographs as possible. As we all know, many life events have no chance for a re-do.
Photographing Icebergs
Seeing and photographing icebergs was one of the experiences on the top of my wife’s wish list when we recently visited Newfoundland. This article shares some of our images and discusses a few things to keep in mind when photographing icebergs.
Importance of Weathersealing
The importance of weathersealing is often not fully appreciated until one faces an extended period of inclement weather. Such was the case with our recent self-drive tour of Newfoundland during which we encountered 11 out of 14 days with rain and fog.
Bird Photography with 75-300
This weekend I went out to LaSalle Park and captured some bird photography with the M.Zuiko 75-300 mm f/4.8-6.7 II zoom lens. I appreciate that some readers would like to see more samples of bird photography captured with affordable gear like the M.Zuiko 75-300 mm f/4.8-6.7 II zoom lens… so I made some time to do so on Saturday.
The weather was grey, dull and overcast. Far from the kind of conditions that I would typically favour… but ideal to do some camera and lens testing! So, I grabbed my wife’s E-M1 Mark III fitted it with the M.Zuiko 75-300 mm zoom… then headed off to LaSalle Park.
Sparrows with 75-300
This article features a selection of handheld photographs of sparrows in-flight captured with an M.Zuiko 75-300 f/4.8-6.7 II zoom lens and an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III.
