Argh! Sorry Henry but I've got to get this off my chest. At 5:43 your tripod is looking precarious. You need to either extend your left two legs or drop your right leg. Not enough height? Then you need a centre post or taller tripod. Just trying to save you breaking another camera. 😉
HENRY NOOOO!!!!!, I don't know if it's the camera angle but your tripod looks in a precarious angle, every time it came into shot I thought bugger me it's going to go over!!!!
For me, it is a mistake not to level the tripod and extend the leg on the side where the weight could pull it (or shorten the other 2)
I bet that effects the weatherproofing...;)
1000 lines😂 Henry mate, that last photo of the two people in the boat on the river and those magnificent trees in the fog, that's a wallhanger every time. 10/10👍😎
Fantastic!! There's certainly something magical about the golden hues gently blending into the blue hues. A technique I've seen used in many genres of photography and art over the years. And it just nails it! Everytime. Colour composition is often overlooked.
Great video as always, love the images especially the last one with the boat. Thanks for such wonderfully balanced videos with technical advice, lovely locations, enthusiasm and humour in every one 😊
Many thanks!
Im looking at the angles of your tripod legs in the first half of this video, and im thinking “Henry! For christ’s sake, you’re going to lose the Nikon too”. It looks soooo unstable.
Haha same... Used to be a topography surveyor.. My boss would have docked me wages for a tripod set up like that 😂
I was confused as to why your tripod with the Z7 wasn't levelled. Why wouldn't you level the tripod when that's a basic function of the tripod. Lessons learned? Great photos btw.
Gteat photos. My wife loves the music too.
That 300mm shot with the boat just nails everything that is great about telephoto photography, just a fantastic image and really well spotted. Defo going to experiment more with DX mode after seeing that! Really sad about the OM5, hopefully they will offer a fair repair price. I find the 24-200 performs best at around F8, I think it is a wee bit sharper in the center vs F11, only really matters if you are cropping the image tho.
Beautiful, beautiful images Henry . Thank you so much.
You need to send the OM5 and lens off to the OM repair centre in Portugal. Everything is fixed price, irrespective of the amount of damage, so you just book it in through the web site which will tell you how much it will cost including all postage. It shouldn't be away for long, turnaround is normally around 2 weeks to the UK if I remember. I've had reason to use it a couple of times and found the service to be top notch!
You have to level your tripod better Henry, all the weight is over 1 leg, not the centre…where it should be.
Should have 2 legs on the downslope adjust the 3rd leg to level the top.
Love how positive you are when things go wrong. If I broke a camera I would be inconsolable all day, and probably all week.
Totally agree with @garymarr5079. Mate, you got to level your tripod. Same thing happened to my mate when we were shooting in Scotland, smashed his 16-35mm lens. My golden rule, a level pod is a stable pod. Love that last shot, stunning.
Hello Henry
Sorry but looking at the way you have your tripod set up I can't help but wonder this had anything to do with your mishap. It might just be the camera angle but it looks as though the center column of your tripod is nowhere near vertical or plumb in some of the video. Having had several near misses myself, I try to avoid this as much as possible as as slight bump can cause the whole thing to tip over with disastrous results. Also I have found that setting the tripod with one leg downhill and two legs uphill makes the the tripod more stable. This way the center of gravity of the camera and tripod is not as near the edge to the triangle formed by the tripod legs.
Cheers and thank you for the great videos!
Brilliant Brilliant brilliant video...such a collection of superb images in magical mist...absolutely superb...many thanks and best wishes
Sorry for the camera accident. hopefully it can be fixed .. good sunrise shoot.
Another great video filled with fantastic images Henry !!
Do you think the Olympus rejected the tripod? as if it was insulted after you praised it's image stability 😂
Hope you get it fixed mate, really enjoying your enthusiasm as always !!
See that, thought you were strictly a Nikon shooter. Sorry about your camera & lens, (even though it's not my fault) hope they are insured! Great photos & vid. I think about the OM1 for macro once in a while. Maybe?
I thought you had the OM to avoid lugging a lot of gear around , so why did you take the z7 as well? Happy you did anyway!
Henry that last image you put up with the little fishing boat is absolutely stunning. Personally I'd crop in a bit more and lose the top of the tree bottom right. But wow what a shot! Regarding aperture I've seen quite a few videos recently where different photographers suggest using the sweet spot of your lens as the best option where the conditions allow so usually 2 stops above the lowest your lens will go so if F2.8 then use F5.6 you'll get the sharpest images that way even if using a tripod. Wonderful content as always sorry to see the OM5 take a hit hope you can get it back up and running soon 👍
Use a cage
Gorgeous images Henry, although I’m an amateur I fully understand the exposure triangle and aperture to me is a means to getting the right shutter speed for any given situation. Since day one (3 years ago now) I have almost exclusively shot in full manual mode as it makes me think about the situation/conditions I’m faced with or the effect I am after. The only time I think about aperture first is with regard to depth of field. If I can’t take a landscape shot handheld due to situation/conditions I’ll whack it on a tripod. The beauty of landscape photography is you almost always have the option for either 😉 sorry for the damage to your OM5, I’d be gutted 🙁
@5.45 I was watching thinking the way that tripod is set up that your nikon was about to follow the Olympus into the rocks. Seriously though the images from that Nikon are unsurpassed imho. Hopefully you get the camera fixed quickly and cheaply.
The OM repair process is very speedy and reliable….I wouldn’t use any other…🎉❤
I was worried you were going to drop and break your Z7 and lens in addition to your OM5 with the way you were standing your tripod a few times there,
I like to use f11 to f14 and more so with f13 to f14 for deeper focal depth as long as my ISO and shutter speed are ok for my usual hand holding with a stabilized body or lens, and the Z7 has diffraction compensation that I sometimes use,
Great scenery when the light starts coming down !
Loving the shots in that mist. Your tripod looks to be at a very unstable angle, is this why your camera fell on the floor. When you look at the video and see how upright you, and the surrounding landscape are, your tripod looks like it's about to fall over.
Really crazy beautiful image's - I love this foggy ones!
Hi ,henry beautiful video , very informative too. Sorry to here about your camera, I'm assuming your insured.on that point what insurance company to do you recommend to insure your camera gear? Look forward to your next adventure. 😊👍
The OM5 body is the same as the EM5.3, and the EM5.3 had the same issues. It’s a weak point on those bodies . Either use an L-Bracket or stick with their pro bodies (EM1/OM1)
What difference do you think an L-bracket will make over a generic tripod plate?
Sorry to hear about the camera, I hope you can get it fixed! You got some stunning images again, love them all! Amazing conditions to be taking pictures in for sure!
Everyone has their own opinion about things. Yours about the aperture is fine. In your photo videos, I'd like to see that you use a tripod properly. They have adjustable leg lengths for a reason. That is so you can balance them as not to fall over. Getting your camera base repaired will likely cost the better part of a new tripod. LoL
Such enthusiasm in the face of adversity! I am not so sure I could have carried on after breaking my OM5 - a testament to your character. If one could 'bottle' that I would be first in the queue. Stunning photography. Hope you can get the OM5 fixed. Do you have photography insurance to call upon?
Unlucky on the OM5 Henry, hope it's not too difficult to repair. Your tripod looked a bit precarious on that first section, liking the first image 👌
Hi Henry, another grand day out and thanks for sharing. Lovely ethereal images, right place, right time makes all the difference .. not to mention having having some real skill behind the Z7. So sorry to hear about the wounded soldier, hopefully a better outcome than the long lamented D7200. Can't help but think that with a ding like that on both the lens and the OM5, that's going to be expensive. But it is so easily done!!! Commiserations to your wallet! If I might offer a suggestion, the tripod in the video didn't look the most stable I've ever seen, get it level and maybe try hanging something from the middle to lower the centre of gravity even if its not windy ... even if you take an empty bag on a bit of string, you could fill it with any old rubbish at your location ( like the rocks in my head ) to save carrying extra weight on your hikes. It's that (H)en(RY)thusiasm tripping you up a bit mate ... but really appreciated by your viewers. Hope the OM5 gets better soon!
F11 as a general rule of thumb is optimum for depth of field without running into diffraction, similarly maximum sharpness of a lens is when stopped down about two or three stops from wide open
Of course, I told you before about this camera, that this would happen when you use the Peak Design mount, and it’s not just the plastic cases that end up like this on all cameras…
Stunning shots Henry, sorry to hear about the camera accident. I do a mixture of photography Genre so don’t get hooked up on F stops so much. Hope you sort the camera out soon 👍🏻
Hi Henry, I was screwing on the QR plate and applied too much torque on my OM5 and exactly the same thing happened, I had only had the camera a couple of weeks and OM Systems repaired via Bass & Bligh in Harrogate FOC, I believe it went to Portugal for the repair. I think it is a point of weakness on camera. Cheers David
Great video Henry!
Sorry about OM5, but pleased about z7 and the tripod because it helps me with taking better photos
I was surprised to find out recently that the best performance of my OM 12-45mm f/4 lens (accordingly to online reviews/tests) is when it's wide open.
Olympus/OM do offer a good repair service but it's from £200. They will send it off to Lisbon, Portugal and keep you as well informed of progress as a mushroom, but they do a good job. This does rather show the disadvantage of plastics over the mag-alloy construction.
Some great shots here Henry but my word you do live dangerously! Just look at the angle of your tripod at 12.15 ! For me that tripod is nothing like vertical and risking it with nothing to counterweight the camera. Also why do photographers wander around with no strap attached to their camera at 6.25? It might be “cool” but it is certainly tempting gravity 😮 🫣
Thanks for the video though.
I was only reading yesterday that some people have had issues with the base plate breaking when the OM5 is attached to the Peak Design clip and now this has happened to you 🙈 might be something to watch out for? Hope you can get it repaired quickly 🤞 Oh and brilliant photographs btw!
Aw man.... Sorry about the camera! It should be fixable, though. Re: aperture, when shooting at infinity there's no DOF issues so there's reason to use anything other than your lens' best aperture. For my Canon EF 70-200 f/4L, that's somewhere from 5.6 to 8. But I have to remind myself each time I push the button! LOL
When shooting at infinity, your composition can still include things that are closer than infinity that may not fall into the DoF of some apertures.
@@StephenStrangways that's true but I said "shooting at infinity", not "from X to infinity". I was referring to the entire scene being at infinity, therefore having no need for back-DOF, as it were.
I feel you - got the same Problem with my Olympus EM5 III and got it repaired by Olympus in Portugal during warranty for free. And yes it took them around three weeks for the repair. In the end I was so shocked by the bad built quality that I sold the camera. My older EM10 II and even my EPL-7 in comparison are built like a tank.
Keep up the great spirit :)
What was the app you used for the fog prediction?
Beautiful photos, makes me want to give up 😊
Windy!
@@HenryTurnerphoto thanks Henry 👍
Some great images there Henry. But even after the accident with OM-5, I was still having palpitations when your Z7 was on the tripod. It still looked unbalanced and not centre weighted! I too have had a complete camera breakage at Ingleton Falls with a poorly set up tripod.
I was having the same feelings, but I only got over it by telling myself that maybe the video lens was wide enough or even fisheyed to make it look like the tripod was at that angle when it wasn't really.
Ha ha, you beat me to it!!
You're not alone. My OMD5III broke in the same place. And I know that there are many cases.
Yes! And OM repeat it on om5 is crazy. It is like a OM feature for trade of best weather sealing😮💨
Yes, the problem arises, according to OM, when using the peak design support. In my case, it did. The solution, expensive by the way, was to change the camera for the OM1, buy an L-mount and forget about carrying the camera on the backpack strap.
Message repair them...always Use and L bracket...always ...and hoods 😮
Great subject Henry, sorry about the camera, hope you can get fixed, but I do prefer when you use the Nikon( being a Nikon user myself) I do also prefer f 8 - 11. But have used 16 - 22 to get depth of field. By the way calender has arrived and looks great. Keep doing what you do 👍
Sorry to hear you broke your camera, not lol , I much prefer the Nikon anyway hahaha. Joking aside I hope you manage to get it sorted. And it is not too expensive a repair. Some of the shots of your tripod after telling us about your camera didn’t look as though it was very stable at all, could be wrong but if not then get a grip mate and make sure that tripod is stable 😁. Back to the photos, they were terrific and that sunrise was amazing, keep up the good work Henry 😁👍
Some lovely.pictures. i share you pain. I was out last night and my camera slipped off the tripod at Silloth onto concrete when photographing the aurora. Maybe watxhing your viseo gave me the foreaight to stick my leg out to break the fall, so only superficial damage to the lens hood and manual focus lens so hopefully all good.
The only purpose of the camera, settings and other tools are to assist you with creating and realizing your artistic vision. Not the other way around.
11:30 the same for me I never noticed any "diffraction" at high fstops, probably only an issue when you are taking bad pictures or pictures of test charts.
I start at f8 and only change it depending on lighting conditions and required depth of field. Sorry for the camera fall - maybe time to switch to Canon 😂😂
Awesome as always, definitely try Luton camera repair services, the have loads of Olympus spares
Always disappointing to break relatively new gear particularly a camera body.
Great VLOG. Love Gummers but never been up there early. Certainly will now.
sorry to hear about your camera i have a omd 5 mk2 body in great condition if its any good to you you can have it for free?
👍📷😎
Need to slow down when it comes to setting up that tripod.
Seriously impressive shot to end with Henry. 👍👍👍
Lovely location, well done.
Stay safe 🇦🇺
Ah Man, Gutted about the camera drop. I'd be in tears, so well done you for carrying on in your usual positive way. Think I feel worse than you do! That cropped shot of with the little boat really is the business. See you in the next one.
PS the camera body is defunked sorry i should have said earlier.
amazing scenes hopefully in winter it will be nice there as well..
Ouch! does it still work? Reminded me of when my old Zenith film camera broke on the way up to Hopegill Head on one of the best snowy days I ever remember. I didn't have a back up and there were no phones in them days. I have to confess to sitting down and shedding a few tears. My Nikon lens has a similar dink on the side of the filter ring, but that still works. Lovely conditions and you did make the most of them, well done.
It does still work! And thanks a lot
I'm finding that I tend to shoot everything at f8. I'm not too worried about high ISO. Noise bothers me less than a blurring image do to camera shake.
I completely agree - my go to is f8, and high ISO with my S5, plus with the noise reduction in photoshop now, noise is really negligible, and as you say noise won't ruin an image but camera shake will.
Interesting that you find the Z7's image stabilization isn't up to par. I just got a Z7ii, and I'd like to explore the hand held thing a little more...spent a lot of time over on William Patino's channel, dude doesn't even use a tripod at all. Shooting shutter speeds of 1/2 second handheld..focus stacking and everything. Maybe the Sony's ibis is just that much better?
Love these shots by the way!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Not gonna comment about the new camera 🫣
Those zoomed in pictures were oustanding. The composition is class but the tones and the overal mood of the images are just truly mind blowing. A well done is little compared to how i was feeling watching the video.
The one thing I'd like to ask, as i dont understand it, is as you were on tripod, did you set the aperture at 11 for the shutter speed due to the mist of is it because its a habit of the f11?
Need to watch this video and take it all in again. Thanks Henry, that was superb.
aperture wise it's far more important to know your lens's sharpness "sweet-spot" and then where to focus for maximum sharpness. bad luck with the OMS 😞
Very beautiful picture's
Like your peak hat with ear flaps. Where did you get it from? Looks cosy and the peak is not too big!!
Mountain Equipment Citadel
The plastic baseplate has been the Achilles heel of the EM5iii and they used the same body for the OM5. It's the main reason I've not traded in my EM1ii. But I haven't heard of issues with the 12-200mm, it's mainly been the bigger 100-400 and 300mm lenses. I hope the repair isn't too expensive. And I hope that OMDS switch to a metal baseplate for the OM5ii whenever it appears.
As for diffraction, it's massively over-rated. It's real but with modern lenses, even with diffraction, they are still sharper than a lens from 40 years ago at its sweet spot.
That last picture is 👌
Try Alli express, I dropped my Fuji XT3 and the bottom plate cracked, Alli express seem to sell them but I think I'm just gonna live with it, plus I'm not confident about changing it myself.
Most of the time I'm shooting at F8 and that also looks great. The only time I go to F11 or higher is when I have a foreground element close to the camera that needs to be sharp. Also F16 or higher for some sunstar photo's. amazing location Henry. Really sucks about your camera, I hope you can fix it cheap.
That reminds me.... (Immediately opens Amazon and orders cage for B camera) Also, my wife says stop making me buy things!
Wow man! That photo @20:53 is amazing. So beautiful. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Another awesome video. Thank You Henry for sharing your experiences and knowledge. I have heard that is one of the downsides to the OM 5. I would say to try B&H Photo. I am not sure if you would have issues with something in the US. I am waiting on the magnetic lens cover, and then I will be out and about with my OM 5. I am so looking forward to using it and seeing what I can come up with. Thanks again and best of luck getting that repaired or replaced.
Thank you for the review about aperture. Tomorrow I will get out with my lenses and identify their sweet spots. You had, like always, some really nice pictures. Thanks for doing the videos. Great job!
Sad that modern camera equipment is so vulnerable to damage. I guess it’s the plastic content, it saves. Bit of weight but at a cost of durability…
Great shots, I have few chances at foggy mornings here in New Mexico.
My aperture is primarily used as a DOF or subject isolator tool... My shutter speed and iso take care of the speed required for the subject matter... It's why I only shoot "M"...
The only time I use the aperture to aid light/speed is on an early morning sports shoot- usually a mass triathlon- where light is usually limited and I don't want to use galactic iso settings !
Sorry about the camera, mate. I have an OM-5 too and, because of the connection, I will never use it with a tripod. Hope you can get it fixed. Cheers, Peter.
Thanks Henry, shame about the OM!! Reminded me of when I was in Peru and police took exception to me photographing a certain building! My Minolta 7000 was smashed to the ground and the lens snapped off the mount!! Both totally ruined!! Love the photos you have taken this morning! I used to favour taking photos at f5,6 but lately f8-f11 on my Nikon Z7II. All the best Graham
The real Henry Turner is back with his Nikon and Tripod! Outstanding photos today! Great information too! Thanks for taking me along!
Thanks Henry for sharing your experience & interesting comments.... great location with magnificent results....I only shoot hand held so I spend more time on shutter speed & let the camera (D500) choose the aperture & ISO...but I am just a hobbyist so I dont spend time adjusting settings to any extent.....I am always interested in your thoughts & comments... hope you get your camera fixed... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
You’ve excelled yourself again Henry! Beautiful images and I must say I’m a touch jealous of your ‘local’ area. I wasn’t sure about the image with the buildings and the car headlights, my eyes were drawn to the headlights first but I suppose they work to give scale and to tell a story. So sorry about the OM5. One of the hazards of being a photographer! Look forward to the next adventure.
Looks like your Z7 was also in danger on your tripod. I don't know if it was just the angle of the shot, but it looked far too upright to me! As for the images: absolutely stunning. Very well done, but no more than you deserved getting there at that time in the morning. Thanks again for a beautiful, thought provoking video.
Regards, Walter.
Ouch! Hope you're insured. Cracking photos. As for aperture...my motto is "do what you feel comfortable with". Cheers.
I have a nikkor 28-300 that lives on my old full frame nikon. I have found f9.5 is the sweet spot for this lens and camera so that is where I start. But you are right about using the whole triangle to get the shot. You have to adjust to the situation. The camera and lens are tools, you are the brains that guide them. Change what you have to to get the shot.
I enjoy your posts. Genuine enthusiasm.
Yay, to see that I have videos of yours to catch up on!! I know they'll be enjoyable and fun and educational!! Sorry to hear about your camera.
Another awesome adventure and brilliant photos. Sadly as for the repair from personal experience stay away from Wex and Fixation awful experience 😢
Henry, loving on those trees and fog…. It literally looks like a painting… The one where you vaguely see some houses and the lights on the car is probably my favorite. Great job as usual, sorry about the camera…😢
Bugger about your camera. Hope you can get it fixed ok!! I loved your Z7 image at the end. That was the perfect shot for me.
It was so cold in Iceland and I snapped the Manfrotto tread from the plate in the base of the camera, it was very early in to the trip so i was determined to not be without a tripod. I ended up using things from the cutlery draw of the lodge that I was staying at to cut a slot in the remaining thread and used pins to gradually wind it out, it took 4 hours! With my tools at home I could have had it out within minutes. I had a spare plate so was back in the game!! Very proud moment that was and now I take a small tool kit everywhere. My fav was in Crete when my hard drive packed up and I managed to get into the main city and purchase a new hard disk and replaced it with a screwdriver from a Christmas cracker. I had a tablet to obtain a copy of windows and a usb pen drive, what can I say, I love the challenge!
Time to send the camera back to Portugal for repair. Hopefully not too long a wait. Ask for the executive service ;)
Hi Henry I have a OM-5 on order beginning to to get worried now as this is the second incident I’ve had heard of regarding the tripod mount 😢🤔
Hiya Mark, I've heard about these issues but this was 100% my fault, the camera caned into a rock as it fell, I'd have expected similar damage from any camera. 👍🏻

@@HenryTurnerphotoI’ve had an EM5 Mark iii for nearly 2 years and no problems with it ( hope I haven’t jinxed myself.). I thought I had heard it was arca Swiss plates where there were issues. Now I have a simpler tripod setup and maybe that’s helped.. Love your channel and your enthusiasm. Hopefully, not too painful to get fixed. OM-5 I think is still a good camera. Cheers from Canada.
