Should You Use a Micro Four Thirds Camera for Bird Photography?
Venture into the captivating North Cave Wetlands in East Yorkshire! Join me on a chilly, overcast day of birdwatching as I seek out the elusive feathered residents of this serene haven. Armed with my trusty Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and versatile 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 lens, I managed to capture beautiful shots of both male and female reed buntings, alongside a breathtaking encounter with a Redwing - a bird I had never seen before.
North Cave Wetlands is a birdwatcher's paradise, brimming with diverse wildlife and stunning aquatic landscapes. This nature reserve is a testament to how human intervention can enhance natural habitats, making it an essential spot for both avid bird enthusiasts and casual nature lovers.
Shooting with a micro four thirds (MFT) camera like the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II offers a fantastic balance between portability and performance. Despite the grey skies and cold temperatures, the MFT system's lightweight design and excellent image stabilization ensured that I could capture sharp, detailed images without any hassle. The 40-150mm lens provided a perfect range for photographing woodland birds, allowing me to zoom in on my subjects while maintaining a comfortable distance.
Tune in to witness the beauty of the North Cave Wetlands and discover tips for bird photography using a micro four thirds system. Perhaps you'll be inspired to visit this incredible spot and create your own nature photography adventure!

    Great review. Thank you. I own a G7x, and took it to Rome with me...8 years ago, and by looking at the photos from that trip you would think I used a professional DSLR. Phenomenal camera! Regarding changing settings via the lens, Leicas, many DSLRs, and all film SLRs allow for one to change the F-Stop on the lens. I grew up with film cameras, so I'm used to changing settings using the lens. I actually like this feature as it is more tactile and I like having more of my three major settings (F-Stop, Shutter Speed, and ISO) in the form of knobs. Thanks again!

    • @MyPhotoJourney

    Hello from Finland! Nice video! I'veen shooting star trails lately with my OM-5 using Live composite. Could not be easier (especially if you have the "Starry Sky" autofocus feature in your Oly). Tips: first make the stars pinpoint, then back off just a little to get thicker and more colourful trails. While shooting, use a torch gently to give light to trees etc in the foreground. You can focus to Polaris or anywhere else, use the trails as background for something nice. Also product or flower painting with Live comp can give beautiful images, see Rob Trek. There is a fellow finn, who makes stunning light painting art and even commercial work with the live comp. Video exists in OM Systems channel, I think. Some people use Live comp illuminating caves or tunnels, possibilities are endless...
