Waterfall Photography During A Drought?! Enders Falls W/ OM-1 Mark II
In today's video, I have been wanting to shoot a waterfall with my new camera, but we haven't had any rain for over 3 months! Luckily, Enders Falls is one of the best waterfalls in Connecticut, and I knew I'd find something there even in the driest of weather. Join along as I hike around the falls and show different compositions and camera settings.

The Perfect Waterfall Day Trip! Sanderson Brook Fall/Goldmine Brook Falls
That’s looks very Nice 👍
MFT is fantastic. I use my G9 alongside Canon FF and Fujifilm. I reach more for the G9 probably 80% of the time. I have 10 MFT lenses. The 12-40mm is a fantastic EDC. My favourite primes: - Panasonic Leica 15mm and 25mm - Olympus 45mm and 75mm f1.8. - Other zooms: 75-300mm: amazing reach for the size and cost; and LUMIX 14-140mm f3.5 - 5.6 if you want a travel super zoom one stop shop. Enjoy!
Thank you for your comment. Im really excited to use my OM1 a lot more now. There's so many lenses that I want haha.
Just found your channel, great video. I don’t live far from Enders Falls but have never been there, your video has inspired me to give it a go. I have the 40-150mm pro and can definitely recommend it, works well with the 1.4x converter also. Another lens to consider might be the 12-100mm pro, it’s my go to travel lens when I know I won’t be trying to photograph wildlife. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment. Enders Falls is a magical place, definitely way better after a good rain. The 12-100 is a lens I've thought about, I think my next two lenses are the 8-25mm and the 40-150 f4 due to its compact size.
Post your picture just a little bit longer.. om 1 has polaroid?
I will post the photos longer next time. What do you mean by Polaroid?
@ ohh i mean polarizer filter built in… im still new to photography please forgive me. Im planning buying om 1
@@ValhallaGuild Oh I understand, no the OM1 doesn't have a built in polarizer, I put one on.
@@WaterfallJoe i see thats why i was wondering I didn’t see in the video. Thank you!
Excellent camera. I have the EM-1, E-M10MK IV (recently sold) and the OM-1. I am primarily a travel photographer and they have been so, so good.
That's a nice setup! I've been looking forward to all my travels with this camera.
Would like to have been able to see your shots for more than a second or two. You cut away as soon as or before you zoomed out to the full shot. Disappointing in that regard! Thanks for sharing and I imagine after some rain those falls become even more spectacular. Nice work.
Thanks Paul I'll keep that in mind, I'll keep the photos up a bit longer next time! This spot becomes absolutely magical after a good rain
Joe. I understand regional patriotism and Connecticut is certainly a beautiful state... but for waterfalls... have you been to Washington State yet? :)
Thanks! Yeah I do love Connecticut waterfalls but I've been to Washington a few years back, there are some monster falls out there. I hope to get back one day and film there.
@@WaterfallJoeif you do make your way to King County, ping me. I can show you some of the more lesser known, but stunning falls in the central Cascades.
Great Information for my new Nikon I purchased on Saturday. Can't wait to explore
Enjoy it! Thanks for the comment
Nice Joe.....:)
Thanks Keith! Hope you enjoyed it
Great shots! I really enjoyed the video all the way through and down (and up again) that beautiful waterfall. On a side note I am amazed how different the symbols on the screen of your OM-1 II look compared to the OM-5 and the Olympus cameras that I am used to. Do you know the Carly Simon song "The Wives Are In Connecticut"? You're probably too young. Doesn't matter, I just wish I were there too. I'd go to Enders Falls. :D
Thank you! Yeah the OM1 has a lot going on haha, it's a powerful beast. I haven't heard that song but I'll check it out 😂
Great images, Joe. I love Enders Falls. Fortunately it's nearby for me. I went there 3 years ago to take some autumn shots and there was a lot more flow back then. Crossing over to the other side of the river definitely gives you the best vantage points. Harder to do when there's a lot more water flow. We never did get down to the bottom to your '4th' waterfall, although I've seen photos of it and have been wanting to get to that one and get some images from the middle of the river. Your '5th' waterfall is one of my favorites (well, the bottom one I think would be if I ever get to that one). When there's more water flow it's a lot more spectacular as there's another stream coming from the top to the left of where the flow is in your images - pretty much in front of that tree at the top and it comes funneling through between those two rocks. I took my shots from a few feet further downstream to include a couple of rocks sticking out of the river for a foreground. There's also another waterfall that I'm not sure if I saw in your video. As I recall it's visible from the top of your '5th' waterfall. There's plenty of rock formations up there to set yourself up on. It's not a large waterfall but it's pretty nice. It's mainly a cascading waterfall over a series of rocks and dumps into a pool of water. If interested I can send you an image so you can try to find it the next time you go.
Thanks for the comment. Enders is such a special place. I think there's more waterfalls in that area I still have yet to explore. I need to get back there after more rain.
I dont remember if I was at Enders Falls this year or not. I understand the need for the new boardwalk and stairs, but it does hamper getting some of the better angles f the falls. Great video can't wait for the next one!
Thanks Frank. I gotta get back there after all this rain!
I always struggle with long exposure ,especially with water ,that's why i dont take a lot. Like me, you went from Nikon to om-systems. I dont regret a thing , although after selling my Nikon gear, i chose the om-5, which suits my style . I am looking forward to learning a lot about waterfall and long exposure photography . Good tip with the quick access to the ND filter.. You have a nice relaxing presents and enthusiasm. 👍
Thank you for the comment. The OM-5 is a sweet camera, I borrowed one a few weeks ago before I bought my OM1 mark II. It has tons of similar features as the 1 just in a smaller body
@WaterfallJoe yes I watched that video , and enjoyed it.
For the price, this lens is exceptional value. Images you get from this is very good. Tamron has improved their quality tremendously, compared to their lens 20 years ago. I think now that Sony practically owns Tamron, the R&D and QC on all of their new lenses are just as good as the native lens
@@hishamosman4341 I agree Tamron quality is incredible, Sony does own a stake in Tamron so I'm sure they have a lot to say in terms of lens quality. Tamron has really been making some incredible lenses lately
Hi Joe, we just wanted to wish you nothing but the best with your new camera. It is a camera that I am considering.
Good to hear from you Bill. It's been a blast to use so far, really looking forward to more adventures with it.
Hi Joe, we just wanted to say that we thoroughly enjoyed this video and are considering a Olympus camera in the future. Good luck from Bill and Abby from Patterson New York.
Good to hear from you guys, I recognize your username, you come by the camera store sometimes! Good to hear from you
@ hi Joe I’m wondering are you planning on getting the battery grip for the OM one Marc two when I decide to purchase mine I planned on getting it and just wondered
@@billantonacci4441 At the moment I don't plan to get the grip, I am trying to keep my bag on the lighter side, plus the battery life is pretty impressive. I may get the grip one day if I ever need to shoot for an extended period of time and not swap batteries.
Om1 or eos r6? I primarily shoot small waves in handheld longexposures. Love the om1 already but i‘m worried that the r6 is better in low light Situations and has more dynamics in the shade of the Breaking wave
Depending on your lighting, if you're a low light shooter full frame usually does better, but at the cost of heavier equipment and usually pricier. If you're shooting handheld it's hard to beat the IBIS of the OM1 II, you can't go wrong either way just depends on how much you want to carry around
Great video - you are talking about weight, so why go for the 40-150 f:2.8 PRO, When their 40-150 f:4.0 PRO is 99% as sharp as the F:2.8?
Thank you, I've been torn between those two lenses, I mostly am interested in the f/2.8 in case I ever do any low light shooting, but for 99% of my work the F/4 would be plenty. I think that's the one I'm more likely to get and save some money and weight in my camera bag haha 👍
Great decision young man , i have been with Olympus -OM systems since the em-3 i now have the OM-5, the OMD-EM1x and the OM-1 with the 12-40 2.8 pro the 40-150 2.8 pro ,a 25 1.8 pro and a 60mm macro lens all of which are awesome lenses . I do also have a Nikon D850 with a 24-70 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8 which i also love for different reasons . My favourite saying is it doesn’t matter which camera you use because these days there really isn’t a bad one just bad users , if you work at being a good story teller then every camera will work so just get out and shoot. Good luck.
Thanks for your comment. The 40-150 f/2.8 is high on my list for adding to my camera bag. I've been using this camera a bit since I filmed this video and I'm loving it more and more everyday!
Funny thing is I still have/use the 2010 Olympus EPL1, the 2012 EPL5 and EM5 and they have been in the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Canada and all across the USA and all 3 still work flawlessly.
Olympus/OM definitely doesn't mess around with build quality. Some really well made cameras and lenses
Congratulation Joe on your new camera. I shoot full frame in the early 80’s film. Then fall back to a few film point and shoot. During the digital age I do canon powershot then to the APS-C Nikon, full frame was just too expensive back then. Few years back I switch to MFT using the Olympus Pen series then to the last Olympus camera the OMD EM1 Mk III with 12 - 40 2.8 Pro an a couple of primes. The OM System I believe is the newer manufacturer that took over Olympus camera divisions. The Olympus camera features is superb and most important to me as a biker, it is small and light weight. Hope you have great time and make many photos.
Thanks for your comment. It's exciting shooting a new system, glad to hear you're loving your OM.
That’s a really cool feature
@@csc-photo Its awesome for any sort of light painting!
Hi! I can’t wait to see the stabilization performance and the dynamic range from the OM1 in post processing!
Got some videos coming in the future on editing!
Great choice..!
@@photographyforenjoyment Thank you!
Great video! I just subscribed. I'm in the same situation you (were)-I’ve been eyeing OM System cameras for nearly two years but haven’t had a chance to try them in person since I don’t have a good camera store nearby. I’m torn between the OM-5 (or maybe the E-M1 Mark III) for its compact size and affordability, and the OM-1 for its feature set. I'd be interested in your thoughts comparing the 2. What made you decide on the OM1 (for you) in the end? Thanks.
Thank you for subscribing I appreciate that. Being able to go and see the cameras in person helps so much, there's only so much you can gain from numbers on a screen. The weight difference between an OM5 and OM1 is pretty substantial. I ended up picking the 1 because I would probably pester myself to death with regret if I didn't get the best option 😅 The OM5 is a seriously nice camera for its size, it's lighter, but I do like how substantial the OM1 feels. It's a solid metal camera that's very well made and you can tell when you hold it. The solid metal body will relieve me of having any worries of damaging the camera while adventuring. Alongside my waterfalls and landscapes, I'm exploring bird photography and car photography as well so all the subject detection modes intrigued me. The addition of the Live GND is something I'm so excited to try for sunset photography, as well as the 8.5 stops of IBIS allowing for some crazy long exposures handheld.
Welcome to the family!
Thank you! Really looking forward to it
I have had almost every camera known to man over the years, looking for the perfect one of course. My first decent one was the Olympus Em1 and recently I returned to the fold with the OM1. I can actually afford good quality lenses for it, it’s light and small and the image quality is very good. I hope no one else catches on because I don’t want prices to rise. Let’s keep it quiet 😊
I'm really looking forward to less weight in my camera bag when hiking, I'd like to keep this quiet but I love this system so much I want to tell the world haha. I'd love to get more people into MFT because they don't know what they're missing out on
I just sold all of my Sony Gear in September and now have the OM1 Mk1, and I am absolutely loving it! I love the smaller form factor, mainly of the lenses. Live Composition is amazing, so is star AF
@@mikemendoza750 There's so many features I'm looking forward to testing out, it's awesome how many computational modes are in these cameras.
Congrats, it's one of the best cameras I ever owned, and I'm sure you'll like it.
Thank you! I'm very excited to go out and use it more
Joe, Congratulations on your new camera system. I am a beginner photographer and used the Nikon D5600. I recently purchased an OM-5. If you find good tutorials for OM system beginners would you please share? Thanks and look forward to your upcoming videos with the OM system!
Thank you! I'll share some links if I find any, have you searched for any guidebooks?
@ No I have not. Thanks for the tip!
Phil Norton Photograpy for some excellent guides for Olympus and OM System cameras.
@WaterfallJoe lots of info on the OM systems website and onto their UA-cam channel.
Thomas Eisl, early videos from Peter Forsyth. Rob Trek for learning about all settings. Olympus OM system cameras have very similar core settings.
Great video, I can feel the excitement. I know how it feels although I have been using Olympus for 10 years now. Not even two months ago I bought the OM-5, upgrading from my two OM-D E-M10s, also buying a couple of pro lenses - and a grip which makes it as big as the OM-1 I guess. ;D The only pro lense I had before was the 12-40 (v.1), and I am really happy with it. I shot two weddings with it, not even needing a flash. I got the 7-14 pro, the new 20 pro and the 40-150 pro (f4), all of them brilliant lenses. I can also recommend the 17 1.8, the 25 1.8 and the 45 1.8, the ones I've used the most up to now (they fit nicely with the small E-M10), oh and the 60 2.8 macro. I use the 75-300 to shoot the moon. You see, I'm fully equipped. And I am far from being professional. At 50, I just started using RAW files for the first time and getting acquainted with Lightroom and Negative Lab Pro for all the old films I shot with my Nikon SLRs back in the day. Really looking forward to whatever you're doing with your OM-1 II!
Thanks for the comment! I'm really looking forward to joining this community. The 40-150 f/4 is also on my radar, I'm not much of a prime user but maybe I'll add one to my bag one day. I've got a lot of videos planned with this camera, stay tuned!
@@WaterfallJoe I will definitely stay tuned. I bought the prime lenses mainly because I read everywhere that those are the ones 'real photographers' use, and they were small and not too expensive, and the results I got were really fantastic. Changing lenses all the time though. So I see the advantages of being able to adjust to your surroundings by being able to zoom, and that's what I am mainly doing now. It's a process and I am just moving along, trying out whatever I think is best in the given moment. Cheers!
Joe , thanks for sharing! I've had omdem5markiii for few years now with 12x45 f4 pro lens and have zero complaints only to say my wish list is all those pro lenses. My next lens choice for myself would be 40x150 f.4 pro for family pics and grandchildren daylight sports . My question to you is how much larger om1 vs om5 and your opinion on differences in size and features. Best of luck! Jack.
Hi thanks for the comment. I've been torn between the 40-150 f/2.8 or the f/4, the price point is a big pro for the f/4 but I do like the idea of having the manual focus clutch. The OM5 is more pocket-sized, easily take it with your anywhere, my biggest complaint is the plastic body even though it has weather sealing. The OM1 has a full metal body and is quite heavy for a MFT camera, it's pretty comparable in weight to my Nikon Z6ii, but when I made my choice, I wanted to know there wasn't a better option I missed out on, even if it is a bit heavier. I have no doubts in my OM1 and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere, it's a tank and I know it can handle any element I throw at it.
Hi very interesting video - which is the sharpest Tamron 59-400 or Nikon 28-400?
@@golfsafetyexpert3478 I haven't tested them against each other, but I'd think the Tamron might be a bit sharper as it is an f/4.5-6.3 where the Nikon is an F/4-8, usually a lens that covers such a huge range has to sacrifice a little bit to keep it smaller and a good price.
When the camera is "busy" the multiple image is taken and you can move it without problems!
@@TRUSKY1965 Thank you for the comment. That saves a lot of headache not having to wait the whole time haha
Are you sure you need to hold on the camera still shooting High Res shots? Is the “Busy” time just for the camera to combine and process the multiple exposures into one single shot?
@@aiofilms You are correct, it was my first time using high res mode so I didn't know. Once it says busy you no longer have to hold steady
@ Thanks. Good video.
@@aiofilms Thank you!
Great video and waterfall photos 👍🙂💧
@@stigfloberghagenphotography Thank you Stig!
@WaterfallJoe 🙂👍
That was interesting. Some say it doesn't matter which camera you use but I enjoy seeing others talk about their choices and the reasons why. You also have a cool way of explaining basic stuff. It's just a pleasure to listen to you.
@@sebzematik Thanks so much! I'm fairly new to UA-cam so I'm just figuring all this stuff out. I'm planning to make a new version of this video next month as a 1 year update
What a great, uplifting and inspiring video. I wish there were waterfalls half as beautiful as the one you've been to in the area where I live ... in the middle of Berlin, Germany. ;D I got my first Nikon SLR in 1986 but switched to Olympus ten years ago. I needed something smaller and wanted something that looked like a camera from when I was young. The OM-D E-M 10 was perfect. A month ago I bought the OM-5 and I am super happy with it, now watching different people on UA-cam showing me many possibilities of how to use it beyond my usual ways, so thanks for your enthusiasm. The only downside about the OM-5 is the small battery. I have two spare ones whenever I go shooting. I'll go and watch some of your other videos now. Keep it up!
Thank you for watching. This camera is really special for travelers, I ended up buying an OM1 shortly after this video, so expect more content about OM System from me.
On the High Res Handheld, you don't have to hold it steady once its showing Busy, I love my OM-5, moved from FF Sony :-)
Thanks for the tip! I'm moving from Nikon FF to OM
Love your enthusiasm! Someone already mentioned it but the high-res shot is very fast, the processing just takes a wile. I have both the OM-1 and the OM-5. I love the OM-1 because it is so good at just about everything (high-res processing is much faster, stronger ND filters and so on) but my go to camera is the OM-5. Less than the OM-1 but for 95% of all cases more than enough. I have been using this camera for over a year now with days of up to 12 hours of shooting in sometimes very extreme weather (hot, wet, cold), but it keeps running and it doesn't show any wear at all. To me the grip is one of the best features of this camera. For such a small camera it is brilliant.
I didn't realize the high res mode was so quick, next time I won't hold steady for as long haha. I purchased an OM1 after this video, I already love it so much and I take it everywhere with me. These are so powerful and compact, not sure why it took me so long to try it!
When was this video filmed ?
@@amandanoetzel5059 This was filmed October 2022
Beautiful photos. The camera may “take” them but first an artist has to “see” them, regardless of type of equipment. I had shot Canon for decades until a few years ago when I was introduced to Olympus (now OM Systems). What a joy to use…and smaller, lighter while saving some $ on comparable gear. And the innovations in OM System cameras really open up creative possibilities. Nice intro to a couple of them. Enjoy. Cheers.
Thanks for your comment. I really love the small form factor from this system, it's my take it everywhere camera!
Thanks for a good video. I have been an Olympus (now OM-System) user for many years (since 1975 when I got my first OM-1). But one thing makes me wonder - why choose an expensive lens that does its best full open for landscape photography where you're using f:8.0 and so? I have their 8-25mm f:4.0 and mostly shoot landscapes, and as a zoom lens it is really good - although not at the level of a top-prime. I have the first OM-1 and if finances allowed, I would switch to the mkII, just because of its LiveGND, which unfortunately does not come to mine.
Hello I don't actually own the camera or lens seen in this video I was borrowing it and that's just the lens I was provided, I do agree that a 17mm 1.2 isn't the best lens for what I was photographing. I recently purchased an OM1 mark ii with the 12-40mm f/2.8, and I'm hoping to add either the 7-14mm or 8-25mm to my fleet one day. The GND is a feature I'm very excited to use, and I plan to make a video on it in the future.
@@WaterfallJoe if you already have the 12-40mm f/2.8, maybe the 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO would suit you better in the wider area.
@@lacsarlacsar3566 I was thinking about that lens with the fisheye compensation in camera. My only gripe is it doesn't accept standard filters, but otherwise I'd love to shoot a lens like that since you have the option of shooting fisheye or not which opens up the doors to so many options. And also I believe the fisheye compensation doesn't apply to raw files.
@@WaterfallJoe yes youre right Joe, and the fisheye compensation feature doesnt work on some computational feature like art filter, or starry sky AF IIRC. But the good thing is, it's wider than the 7mm even with fisheye compensation activated on camera.
8-25 is fab. Great range and IQ
I have the Olympus OMD M5 III which I love. However, the OM5 is not much more than a new logo and firmware update so I'm sticking with the M5. There is a rumor that there is an OM5 mark II on the way. If they add a USB-C port I may upgrade.
I also hope the OM5 II has a USBC port and maybe some other features. I'm excited for whatever comes next!
thank you for sharing your experience with Om-system and especially with the 5. I think the 20 megapixel photos are the sharpest. Make no mistake, there are 20 megapixels on a censor that is half the size of a full frame. the more pixels there are on a censor. the faster you will have problems with noise, among other things. otherwise very nice photos
Thanks for commenting. I enjoyed the OM-5 and I think OM System did a great job
Wow 👍🏼
Thank you!
I have an OMD EM1 MK3 and can hold 2 second shots
The IBIS is so incredible, I plan to go out again and see how long I can handhold before it's shaky
I am fascinated to know why so many photographers turn beautiful, sparkling, running water into cotton wool.
I think that's the beauty of photography, we all see things differently. To me, capturing the movement of a waterfall through a long exposure is more visually pleasing, I do occasionally shoot waterfalls without doing a long exposure, but I've never been as impressed by those shots. I've always enjoyed the long exposure aspect since the first day I shot a waterfall.
@@WaterfallJoe Ah so.....yup, each to their own...all t'best..
@@WaterfallJoe although it's worth considering that the whiteness and wooliness are so obvious it dominates and distracts from the whole.
It is combining photography with art 😊
@relaxingtherapeuticnaturevideo and, in my opinion, ruining both....I would question that a camera setting that anyone can adjust for a particular result is art..It's more of a trend.
Waterfall Joe, like the name! Some nice shots you got there. I bleed Nikon and I'll always be a Nikon man and have been since 1975, but another photographer I've followed on UA-cam tried the OM-5 last year and has been singing it's praises, and a few weeks ago I added an OM-5 with the 12-45mm to my quiver of Nikons! I haven't yet put it into the field in a serious way, but I will soon. However, that being said I have immediately become a huge fan. I as well, now and even in my youth, have never been a reliably stable shooter and growing up began shooting medium and large format sheet film ALWAYS on a tripod before my father let me use one of his Nikon F's. I've always shot from a tripod because of the discipline it forces upon everything from composition to patience in the entire approach to photography. In the quote, Old Days, when film was dear and you had to carry film holders/magazines, changing bags and boxes of film along with your camera and tripod, you learned patience and discipline because you couldn't waste film on possibilities. The tripod forced you to edit in your head and make decisions about what you'd shoot and what you'd only admire and leave un-shot. You still got images that didn't measure up but that's always been the case. I just have more of them now that I'm ALL digital. I too, LOVE the OM-5 and I haven't yet really used it. I continue to shoot with all my Nikons, my 850's, 800E for IR, and my Zed 7's, but this little gem, the OM-5 sits among them as an equal. It's the most nearly PERFECT little walk around and travel set up with the 12-45mm that I've ever held in my very large hands and still it's pleasantly easy to handle.
Thanks for your comment, I've been a big Nikon shooter for 7 years now. I've had a D3300, D750, Z6ii, and a Z30. I love my Nikons, but as a travel waterfall photographer, the computational features of OM System cameras, combined with their size has always intrigued me. I'm not a "I need 100mp" person so the smaller format doesn't bother me one bit. All it took for me is one day in the field to fall in love with these cameras!
Almost mirrors my experience! Long-time Nikon user (Z6ii, Z50, Z8). Bought the OM-5 specifically for a special holiday (to save weight), fell in love with it and now it holds equal ranking with the Nikon system!
@@geoffreyevans1466 I agree, OM did such a great job with these cameras. For landscape photography these are so awesome and easy to throw in the bag. Looking forward to more of this system
@@geoffreyevans1466 Yeah, I was pretty shocked when I got my OM5, and I just commented a few minutes ago, that it's been an unequivocal GIGGLE to use. It's just so cute and small in my huge hands and yet it's just been so much fun to use.
I find the ND is great! Focus stacking is amazing for macro.
I haven't played with the focus stacking yet, I honestly don't do much macro. Maybe it's something I need to try sometime soon
You should definitely!!!! And some astro photography too!!!!😊
@@taterandy3958 I'm hoping to get the 7-14mm for star trails and Milky Way one day!
