I don't really see anything else to do during winter then this. So I'm happy to you enjoyed it haha. Hopefully all the colors will return soon. Thanks for watching and the comment. Grt guido

Thank you very much welcome to the channel! Hopefully you will like more of my content 🙂 grt guido

I did try this in the past and to my surprises there wasn't much difference. Maybe the 40-150 2.8 with mc-20 was even slightly better. But this was very minimal. Of course knowing that I could getbthe additional reach with the 100-400 I still preferred that in the end. Maybe I will make a video comparison of all the telephoto lenses Maybe that's helpful. Thanks for watchibg grt guido

Depends on how you look at it. Buy a full frame lens with the same specs and it's even twice the price. So I guess this is a bargain if you compare it to that. But I agree that it is very expensive and I'm probably never going to be able to buy one myself. Thanks for watching grt guido

I actually don't know about the other brands but I know the m43 lenses are amazing and indeed for much less the theyre full frame equivalents. I still dont get why the system is still so underrated. Thanks for watching and your comment I appreciate it. Grt guido

@ because they cant want people See the pros and cons of every format, for example only looking in less focus área as advantage but lo look how in landscape we can use f4 and they stop to f8 and up 2 ISO stops to get the same image

Thanks for watching and your comment. Grt guido

I wasn't either as you know but recently I've been trying it more and more. Especially with fog it gives some amazing results. Thanks for watching grt guido

Thank you very much! Appreciate the comment. Grt guido

Ow i can see why you like it with portraits. I always love these images. Happy to see you liked the multiple seasons. Maybe I'll make it a little project and return to those spots in every season. Thanks for watchibg and your comment. Grt guido

Funny I really like the olympus and on system cameras because the way they manage colors and especially greens. They're quite often much better then other brands. But since I started photographing raw I don't really care anymore because I always adjust everything in post post processing. I usually pull the blues down a little for example. I haven't tried the sepia yet maybe that I good idea to try also. Thanks for watching and your comment. Grt guido

@@GuidoVanDeWater No doubt it is a matter of taste, but for me even the starting point of raw files is misleading and things tend to be pushed to make things greener than they were. It is not capturing the tonal variation and slight shifts in hue that I am seeing in the field. This is not an Olympus/OM Systems thing. It seems to be a thing for all camera manufacturers and digital files in general. It is probably less noticeable if you are photographing in northern Europe where you don't see the tonal range you see in foliage here where I photograph in SE Australia. A lot of the foliage here tends to be glaucous (a soft bluish green) and yet when I look at the raw files this is completely lost. The foliage somehow becomes nothing more than green with not a hint of blues which are everywhere. I think this is part of the reason why photographers here in Australia struggle with woodland photography. They just can't get it right and ultimately the whole feeling of the image is wrong. I remember listening to a interview with Hans Strand and he also felt greens are the most difficult colour to manage in digital photography. He was of the opinion that it is almost impossible to get the greens right in a digital file.

Dankjewel Ton mooie reactie. Grt guido

I agree with you that there not much else to do with fog this thick. I'm usually attracted to the contrast in colors but if there is no color then this is a great option. Thanks for watchibg and your comment. Grt guido

I've always been a color guy. I'm often first interested in a photo due to the color aspect of it. But recently because of the lack of color I started experimenting with some b&w and I'm quite enjoying it. But when the colors are back I will immediately go and look at that again probably haha. This forest is around the posbank somewhere. No idea where I exactly wandered I got a bit lost there. Thanks fot watching grt guido

No, i haven't experimented with those settings yet. This was the last thing I recorded in 2024. If you like black and white, then you are going to like the next few videos also. Not because the images are turned black and white. The scenes were just that way 😅 thanks for watching and your comment. I appreciate it. Grt guido

10 owls wow! I'm happy to spot 1 a year 😅 yes i forgot to preload the map on my phone so I won't do that again 😅 thanks for watching my friend. Grt guido

They are both great lenses! I preferred the 40-150 2.8 myself but the 8-25 is amazing 👌 thanks for watchibg the video and sharing your comment. Grt guido

Ik vind het heerlijk. Het kan mij niet mistig genoeg zijn. Mooi voorbeeld zie je in de video van volgende week. Sommige mensen gingen terug en ik juist vooruit haha paar van mijn favoriete fotos als resultaat. Bedankt voor het kijken weer. Grt guido

I did the same. I always changed it in post processing, but I now noticed that it is much easier to do it in the camera. The composition is much more based on contrast, and that's easier to see in the camera. Thanks for watching and sharing the comment. Grt guido

Ja helaas was het deze week veelal hetzelfde. Ik heb het allemaal gezien van achter mijn ramen 😅 ik hoop het ook ben er nu wel weer klaar mee 🤣 bedankt boot het kijken en je reactie! Grt guido

Oeeh Iceland that sounds great! Don't know if you already told that. Sorry if I didn't remember 😅 but the gloves are great indeed. I have the tinden for these conditions. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment. Grt guido

I'm just experimenting a little with the black and white recently. I always turn to black and white when there is nothing of color catching my attention. So I figured that these winter times are very good to practice a little on my black and white skills. Happy to see you liked those images. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment. Grt guido

Fantastische omstandigheden deze week. Ik heb de camera gelukkig wel alleen lig al de hele week ziek in bed. Gister ochtend dacht ik het gaat beter dus even eruit maar kwam er al snel achter dat het geen goed idee was en dus maar snel weer naar huis gegaan 😅 voor mij is de maatstaaf met zwart wit nog altijd dat er weinig kleur in de foto moet zitten. Als er niks uitspringt qua kleur dan probeer ik nu al op locatien naar zwart wit te gaan om inderdaad meer op de compositie en de contrasten te focussen. Ben ook wel benieuwd hoendat zich gaat ontwikkelen. Bedankt voor het kijken. Grt guido

@ ik had de afgelopen weken ook te kampen met lichamelijke overlast. Ik liep helemaal leeg, dat is gelukkig weer gestopt. Mijn lijf is al weken aan het zeuren zal vanzelf wel weer overgaan als kun je er wel veel ongemak van ervaren. Beterschap toe gewenst.

@theflyingdutchman7127 dat kan ook heel vervelend zijn inderdaad! Ik heb eerst mijn zoontje ziek uit school gehaald en een dag later lag ik ernaast. Bedankt hopelijk kan ik snel weer op pad 🤞

@ een collega haar schildklier ligt er uit, met alle klachten en ongemak tot gevolg. Ik zei tegen haar. Je zou tegen je lichaam moeten kunnen zeggen. Niet zeuren ik ben nu niet thuis. 😂, maar zo werkt het helaas niet.

Well I've used it multiple times wider then 12mm but the main thing is that you look for composition wider them 12mm. With the 12-40 is never felt it was worth switching to the 7-14. So now that I have a wider availability on the camera already I just look at it much faster. If you're interested in that lens please send me message trough my website or messenger maybe I can help you out. Thanks for watching grt guido

I programmed black and white to c4 and I'm playing around with it a little lately. I'm always very attracted by color but in winter there is hardly any color. So a good period to try something different. Next week is gonna be black and white xxl... not because I turned it black and white but because it was like that 😅 thanks for watching and the comment. Grt guido

well... I never take black and white landscape photos :-) I don't really know why. Back in the days of black and white film, there was simply no other option and it was a certain limitation, although photographers in those days operated primarily with light, the play of light and shadow, texture, contrast, etc. Today we admire the photos of A. Adams, although the truth is that he was also a master of photo processing in the photographic darkroom. Our thinking is "colorful" in the sense that we perceive the world in colors and even imagine it in colors, hence someone like me also takes photos in colors. This is a certain paradox because just as the old masters were limited by black and white film, so I - having modern equipment that allows me to take photos in black and white, give up this tool. What's more, many people give up consciously creating photos without interfering with WB settings at all, leaving everything for later, until the post-production stage. Black and white today is not a necessity but one of the options. Sometimes it's the black and white that make an ordinary photo into a photo with atmosphere, with depth, with a certain atmosphere of melancholy, etc. Maybe it's because I look for emotions other than the aforementioned melancholy in photography, so somehow I subconsciously avoid B&W, even though I know that I often lose something this way... maybe it's time to break through?

@abysal2000 I love those black and white from analogue Adams. Today I heard a new tactics from a national geographic photographer. He always puts the viewfinder in black and white. But that doesn't matter for the outcome it can still be color. But this way he is more focused on composition instead of color. Everybody has its own preferences in what they do and how they do it. I guess it's all about finding what you like the most. Thanks for watching grt guido

Normally I always preload a map on my phone but because I knew where I wanted to go I walked there first. And that figured out I had no cellphone reception from that point so I could load the map. I figured it wasn't that hard but it was very hard! And like most days nobody around to ask something... thanks for watching grt guido

Unfortunatly the amount of snow we get here gets less and less. When I was young ( 30 - 40 ) years ago there was still lots of ice and snow during the winters. These days winters are mostly between 0 and 15 degrees celcius with lots rain. Next week I drove for about 2 hours to find some snow but absolute crazy conditions coming in that video. Poeh I would love to join you there haha. Thanks for watching grt guido

Please send some of that cold here I'm begging you! 😅

I never thought it did, but it really helped me to see the compositions better. Somehow, in black and white, it's totally different. It's all about contrast. I've seen compositions that seemingly never worked get interesting when I looked at the in black and white. And of course you can enhance that by using special color filters. Thanks for watching grt guido

Heb ik het daar over gehad in de video? Ik weet het niet meer 😅 bedankt voor het kijken in elk geval. Grt guido

@@GuidoVanDeWater jazeker 95 naar 72 Kase

Owja inderdaad dat was het 😅 bedankt voor de hulp!

Yes you cal solve it like that but I'm not a fan of hanging the camera next to the ball head. It's never really steady especially when youndonitnwith bigger lenses. I now purchased a L bracket from 3 legged thing and that did the trick. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Grt guido

Well they don't even have to much problems with it. Usually sunrise is quite early and bu the time I'm finished it's about 10 or 11 am so tike enough to spend the rest of the day together. We only have 1 car so that's difficult. Soecialy with all the photo talks I do. I don't think I will ever exhaust my local environment. I love to return everywhere and I always find something different. But I do like to visit new places from time to time. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Grt guido

Thank you I appreciate your comment! Grt guido

I have struggled with it myself but I seem to have found a way on how to do it. I especialy struggled with broderless a2 prints from lightroom but I finally have that figured out. I will remember that tip who knows I will make it someday 🙂 thanks for watchibg grt guido

Haha the 🌵 made a big impression on you 🤣 it's a great lens isn't it! I'm absolutely loving it 🙂 thanks for watching grt guido

Your right that is a major advantage. I never use the teleconverter myself because I have bigger lenses and I always prefer a longer lens over the teleconverter. But save weight the teleconverters are a great option. They also work very wel with the 40-150! Thanks for watching grt guido

I'm going to make a video like that soon. It's going to be about the 7-14, 12-40 and 8-25 and why I choose a specific lens. But I can already tell you that I'm probably going to keep my setup like this with the 8-25 instead of the other 2 lenses. Thanks fot watching grt guido

I'd also be interested in seeing that. Recently purchased the 12-40 f2.8 pro. But have the original 4/3 mount 7-14mm f4 SHG lens. Great lens, but large and can't take filters. Doesn't get a lot of use, but don't want to repurchase something similar; though the 8-25 is intriguing.

I will probably be making that video in a few weeks. Where are you from? Grt guido

@@GuidoVanDeWater If that was asking me, I'm in Colorado, USA.

Ik ben er eigenlijk wel uit dat deze lens mijn 7-14 gaat vervangen en dan blijft de 12-40 hws ook thuis. Scheeld best wat gewicht ook. Als je hem wilt gaan kopen moet je me even een bericht sturen via de website 😉 Bedankt voor het kijken weer grt guido

That is an amazing lens. It always surprises me how good that thing is for such a small lens. I should use it more often. Thanks for watching grt guido

It is a prety huge lens indeed but I agree about the sharpness and stabilisation is also great. OM system did some improvement on they're version with different glass, weather sealing and sync is. So no idea if that makes a massive difference to the sigma version. Thanks for watching where are you from? Grt guido

Thank you it was indeed a fantastic year! Hopefully this year will be just as good. At least it started great haha. Thanks for watchibg grt guido

So now the om-1 is the backup? Haha great set of cameras that you have there! I looked at that backpack also nice one! Where are you from? Thanks for watchibg grt guido

@GuidoVanDeWater Yes. Om1 mk1 now the backup. But really the reason was to prepare for when I finally plan a trip to Africa or Alaska for wildlife. So a backup and to have a 40-150 2.8 pro mounted on one and 300 f4 pro on another. Need to spread out the cost. Also picked up the 12-40 2.8 mkii as part of the kit to replace my 4/3 14-54. I'm in Colorado, USA.

Oeh die sigma klinkt wel als een flinke lens! Wie weet kunnen we een keer samen op pad. Bedankt voor het kijken weer grt guido

@@GuidoVanDeWater Dat kunnen we zeker wel een keer. Moet vast wel iets tussen ons in zitten waar we kunnen afspreken. Je weet mij te vinden😉

That is a shame that you aren't happy with the gloves they're quite expansive. They have one really waterproof gloves but that is just because it comes with a plastic cover that goes over the gloves when it rains. The tinden is much warmer and I can't remember them getting wet in the snow in sweden. I don't know about rain. I'm more of a good weather photographer 🙈 grt guido

@@GuidoVanDeWater I'm afraid I have to take whatever the weather offers. I can confirm the effectiveness of OM System weather sealing.

If you're interested in buying new lenses then make sure to send me a message trough my website or socials. I might be able to help a little. I'm also looking forward to what they have in theyre sleeves this year. Thanks for watching. Grt guido

Hello Guido The best I bought last year was a used 18-105mm lens for my Nikon D3000. It came with new looking Camera body and a tiny bag :-). Grt Ernesto

@siofna9709 that's a nice focal range. Hopefully you will make some great images with it this year! Thanks for watching grt guido

A few 16TB Harddiscs ... because all the photographs were overloading the rest of my HDD's .

@@GuidoVanDeWater this is a rhetorical question, that is ofcourse the worksop in de Hoge Venen, organized by Guido :-) I bought a Leica D-lux 8 in 2024. Partly, maybe mostly, because I love the design and it is an affordable Leica that is designed in Wezlar. But honestly, I love the camera and the output, specifically for street photography and as camera that I have aways with me.

@Eti1968 haha happy to see you enjoyed it! I can see why you like that camera! Thanks for watching and I hope we will meet again someday. grt guido

Ja het is mooi als je het tegelijk kan proberen. Ik stond eind vorig jaar voor om system op een event van de fotogroep. Hele aardige mensen inderdaad. Maar je hebt gelijk dat de aankopen van mij meer op praktisch gericht waren en puur voor de business kant. Bedankt voor het kijken weer. Grt guido

@ klopt, ik zou je daar in de hoedanigheid als Om-system ambassadeur hebben ontmoet, maar ik was een een flinke virusinfectie getroffen, dus ik moest annuleren.

@theflyingdutchman7127 ah ja dat klopt. Daarom hadden ze de 150-400 meegeenomen. Ach volgende keer beter!

@ zo is dat.

Thanks Christian! It is indeed an eye opener. A few years ago I never taught i would use an l bracket. I just recorded the photorus episode that will probably go online next week. Thanks for watching my friend and take care! Grt guido

In this location light is everything. Without light there is nothing to photograph there except butterflies 🙂 thanks for watching and your comment. Grt gudido

Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment! Grt guido

Loved the minimalistic shots at 19:35 and those ducks 😂 were those paid actors

That is exactly what I noticed! Because I have the wide angle on the camera i look at it far more then I did with 2 separate lenses. It's easy to try something fast instead of having to switch lenses first. Yes the fog deffibitly helped. But I'm always focused on minimalistic shots. Thanks for watching my friend appreciate the comment. Grt guido

No they were just swimming there but in the past I have thrown in some bread to lour them into my shots 😅
