If you visited my website yesterday, you probably noticed something was up. It was one of those moments when I got tired of the old design and wanted to change everything. As a former IT professional, you'd think I'd handle it more professionally, but sometimes I have different ideas, too much on my plate, and... Continue Reading →
Inspired by my popular "The Largest Collection of" lists and my article "Tips From a Bird and Wildlife Photographer" about Rachel Bigsby, I thought, why not do the same for information, tips, and settings for the OM System OM-1 (Mark II), specifically for bird and wildlife photography, offering insights from a specific nature photographer's perspective....

When I decided not to purchase the OM System 150-600mm f5-6.3 lens, it was for several reasons: High price Relatively big and heavy compared to my current gear Existing lenses that would be underutilized To even more justify my decision, I tested my lenses for field of view (FOV) with and without teleconverters (1.4x and...

To begin, these tips aren't originally mine, but I resonate with them deeply. As many of you know, I'm also passionate about bird and wildlife photography. Just observing these creatures and being in their natural habitat brightens my entire day. I constantly strive to immerse myself in this field, learning and improving wherever I can....

Since I got my new camera, I've been able to photograph several birds that I hadn't captured before. You might think it has nothing to do with the camera, and that's partly true.

I'm not someone who obsesses over tiny details in pictures, but like most of you, I do want my photos to look pretty sharp and clear, and too much graininess usually doesn't look nice. So, knowing how to get the best possible results in low-light conditions is really important. The problem is that many of... Continue Reading →
Occasionally, a rare opportunity presents itself – one you may have previously hesitated to take advantage of. However, when the price becomes truly irresistible, and there are compelling reasons to own two nearly identical lenses, you might find yourself tempted to make the purchase. Such was the situation I encountered. I already owned the Lumix... Continue Reading →
The E-M10 MKIII with Lumix G Vario 100-300mm Power OIS is a camera lens combination that weighs 990 grams and is 170mm long. It can provide a field of view range (FOV) of 400 to 1200mm (compared to 35mm). Wait a minute, that's not right ! shouldn't that be 200 to 600mm FOV ? Before... Continue Reading →
Three months have passed since I purchased the Olympus 300mm f4 Pro lens, and these are my findings so far. There's a lot said and written about this lens, claiming it to be the best and sharpest lens Olympus has ever made. So, my expectations were very high. Well, it is certainly sharp, but it's...
