This short announcement is to let our readers know that OM Digital Systems recently featured my bird photography in their User Spotlight series.

NOTE: Click on images to enlarge. To view this short announcement in a range of other languages click on the Canadian flag in the upper right corner. 

The OM Digital Systems User Spotlight series is designed to feature the work of photographers who use Olympus/OM equipment in a number of different subject genres.

The folks at OM contacted me in mid February to see if I would be willing to participate in their User Spotlight series. Participation is voluntary and does not provide any type of compensation.

I provided the folks at OM with a selection of thirteen different images, along with some background information on each of the photographs. The images were captured with a range of different M.Zuiko lenses and some photographs included the use of teleconverters.

The four images featured in this article were included in the thirteen that were supplied to OM. If you’d like to view this User Spotlight, and also get some additional information on some of my bird images, we encourage you to click the link and view the User Spotlight.

Technical Note

Photographs were captured handheld using camera gear as noted in the EXIF data. All images were created from RAW files using my standard process in post. This is the 1,514 article published on this website since its original inception in 2015.
