thank you for sharing your personal story, and I'm glad you recovered and I hope and pray that you stay healthy.and we can enjoy your beautiful photos and stories❤
What an amazing (camera)story and what stunning photo's. Thank you.
I wish you many healthy and inspired years, Andrew Peters.
Amazing butterfly images and a beautiful story behind them. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful presentation and so is your story.
Good luck and good health!
Such a journey, glad you are now well. Love the pictures you presented here. 6 years an Olympus fan.
Loved this warm personal presentation and OH MY the beauty of those butterflies! I have the EM-! Mark 2 (birthday gift five years ago) and I too feel the ghost inside. Feeling low right now as it is in the repair shop and found out big $ to repair. Very interested in the OM-1 but a choice had to be made. Thank you Mr. Peters for this wonderful video- I am determined to stay with OM Systems.
Thank you for sharing this moving story & your beautiful photographs. I sincerely wish you continuing good health and thank you for the inspiration you have given me to keep working with my OM1 & the menus 😀 to capture wonderful moments in nature.
Again, my eyes opened...
I've had the EM1 mark 3 and OM-1 since they came,and now I'm so excited to do butterfly in flight photos like you do the coming summer. Quite fantastic
Wonderful story and wonderful system. I have been shooting MFT for a number of years, but just recently discovered what is so special about the Olympus EM1 III and their pro lenses. Quality product, quality images. Andrew, I wish you continued good health.
Very creative approach to butterflies’ photography. All the best wishes from Eastern Europe!
Fantastic photos and a very, very creative approach to photography. Thank you for them and I wish you the best of luck in your future photographic journey. Warm regards.
Some pics from my home turf there 🙂Beautiful images.
I have run Olympus/OM alongside my Canon FF system, but I'm finally thinking of moving my FF gear on... possibly for the big white lens! The OM1 really is wonderful. I've also had some ridiculously high ISO images clean up beautifully, especially with DxO Photolab.
me too - and just downloading the latest Lightroom to see how their new AI denoise stacks up...
Beautiful thank you.
The story and the photographs.
Cracking story and marvellous images. I am fortunate to own two OM1 bodies, one set up for macro and the other for birding and general wildlife. In fairness, I would not have any other camera. I also enjoy capturing birds, butterflies and dragonflies/damselflies in flight. Looking forward to receiving my OMS 90mm macro.
I look forward to the release of your butterfly book Andrew, the images here are beautiful. This was also a very inspirational piece and I'm now off to try and find anything else I can about you and your images.
Well done and hope all is good for you in the future. Look forward to any further posts that have the type of images featured in this this video.
Thank you.
Congratulations … it is lovely being able to put a face to your award winning masterpieces. So very well deserved.
THanks for sharing your story. I love the butterfly shots!
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed!
Inspirant de créativité et de courage, bonne route Andrew.
All the bsst....eagerly waiting for your books
Andy, such an inspirational story which has really resonated with me and sums up why I too love this brand so much. Keep heathy and keep innovating these stunning photographic techniques.
thanks Dean that's very kind!
Having just watched this video and read your beautiful "Butterfly Safari" book I am inspired to try and capture butterlies in flight in my local area. I have the OM-1 and a range of Pro lenses so can't wait to start on this project.
First off, what inspirational photography and back story.
I’ve been fortunate enough to use Nikon Fx, Dx and Olympus m43 systems over the last 10 years. I own both and use both. The point that you’ve made, convincingly, is that Olympus users should stop each presentation on the defensive regarding theoretical sensor noise, global dynamic range and mystical IQ. These are unwinnable battles against hypothetical monsters. Show us the money!
Your photographs, among so many others, stand as a testament to not only the excellent IQ, but more importantly, that I can get my Olympus system lenses into places the others can’t even fit, and when faced with the “opportunity” in the opposite direction from where you were looking, only the Olympus is small enough, light enough, nimble enough to swing about and get a shot that would be missed otherwise.
Olympus reviews need to start out with “look at this”, look what I made!
Best Wishes,
Dennis
Absolutely brilliant!
Superb pics and a great story, lovely to hear you are cancer free. Your butterfly pics are amazing. I don’t get the snobbery over m43, for me it’s a superb system that constantly gets me the results I need. I picked an Olympus camera up to help me with my mental health following a breakdown and I agree with you, the camera makes me smile
spot on Mark agree with all you said, all best
wow very touching. cant remember reading anything like what you said.
thanks.
brutal personal story, admirable, I wish you a good future and it is true, there is the ghost of the camera and olympus/om system has it and I am living it
Fabulous photography and fascinating back-story. Onwards and upwards Peter - I wish you all the very best
i have the system as well and i wouldn't go past it's great , this video say's it all , I have been diagnosed with corticobasal syndrome wich effects my right hand so i am slow with it and typing with my left hand ,but getting back to the system it's great and the camera allows you to do wath ever you want to do , i'm slow but the camera's not ! keep up the good work .
Andrew I saw your butterfly photos on facebook last year and was inspired to buy an EM1 mark 3 and 12-100mm Pro lens to up my butterfly photography game this summer. Did you use ProCapture H (SH1 in OM1) and hope the butterfly stayed in the initial focal window or did you use ProCapture L (SH2 in OM1) and tried to get the camera to focus on the butterfly as it flew up? If you used ProCapture H mode then I can use my 60mm Macro as it won't need th fast refocus speed of the Pro lens.
Beautiful images, look forward to seeing your book. I can't afford an Om1, but I thinking of purchasing an OM5, to accompany my little fuji x100v. Olympus seems to do so much in such a small package. Stay well. 🦋🦋🦋
Thank you for being an inspiration to me.
I am a fellow sufferer (different cancer) but not yet to the extent from which you have thankfully recovered. Changing from Canon I started out with the M43 cameras, I still use the old Lumix G9 occasionally. I progressed to the Olympus EM1 original model some years ago and have all of the lens types apart from the 150-400, to the OM 1 and OM 5 and I still have an EM1 Mk3 and TG6. I get lots of complements about my Nature blog and it confirms to me that I was right to use Olympus now OM Systems equipment. Stay well Andrew and bless you..
Butterflies were some of the first pictures I took with my OMD E-M1 Mark II. Like you, I fell in love with it's sharpness and speed. The image stabilization combined with the PRO series lenses produce better pictures than I was ever able to take with my Nikon D800. Would love to have the funds for the newest OM-1. 😞
One word - Inspirational
Wow! Fantastic presentation for sure!
Lovely work, Andrew, and a touching story. Personally, I use all Panasonic gear, in the studio and on location, but I have wanted a stills-oriented µ4/3rds camera forever (we are mostly video in our business) and as the lenses I have are 100% compatible with the Oly, one of these very likely is in my future. Do stay well, and I will subscribe now.
Well it's great news you've got a clean bill of health! I totally get what you mean about OM gear having that certain something. I've shot Lumix for a fair few years, and whilst my current kit, the G9 is technically great, it just feels all a bit too clinical. I feel shooting with my EM1.2 my shots just seem to have a certain character I don't really get with my G9. But it's not just the gear itself, the teams behind the brand are polar opposites too. I love what OM do with their social media, you feel part of something (the live streams are great!), with Lumix you just get a wall of just promoted professional photographers, it's like they don't recognise their typical users. So over the last year of using the EM1.2 I'm now eyeing up the OM-1 to replace my G9 as my main camera.
Thank you so much for your feedback!

I can vouch for Andrew's story. When I first got to know him, he was a Canon shooter and turned up with his loaner Olympus gear one time. He was sold on the idea straight away, but needed to learn how to use it, to get the best out of it. In doing so, created his own genre of butterflies in flight.
Thanks! Andrew🦋
Andrew - thanks for the video and sharing your story. I can empathise with your journey. For decades I have been a Canon user but a recent split disc in my lower spine meant holding the L Glass lenses at eye level was simply not possible. Giving up photography or dropping back to a compact camera was not an option for my mental wellbeing. Fortunately the OM-1 was launched at the right time and coupled with the Pro lenses the quality is clearly there along with a significant weight saving - although the 300mm F4 is just a step too far regrettably. Your butterfly photos are stunning but I wonder just how you manage the focus as when I have tried unless the butterfly is still I can't achieve a good focus on the eye. I must admit I havent been adventurous enough to move the ISO beyond 1600 - perhaps I should. I don't find the AI noise reduction on OM workspace works particualry well on RAW files, insted I use Topaz which seems to do a good job.
glad your ok great comments i have severe arthritis in my lower back i had the Sony a1 and i could no longer carry the heavy equipment the OLYMPUS OM-D M1 MARK III SAVED my photography life being retired it is my only hobby by the way fantastic images i'm not getting pin sharp shots you are getting but i'll keep going out i have just found out i need a full hip replacement so my photography has to take a break for a few months good luck for the future hope your (C) never returns only one fault not long enough your photography is amazing and your talk was very interesting looking forward to more 👌
Wishing you all the best. Sony FF shooters here. We are going to try already one combination for the wife and see from there.
A great film Andrew. One question. How does the OM1 perform with the 100-400mm as opposed to the 150-400mm which I would love but can't afford?
The 100-400 is a great lens I had it in loan for a few weeks but the 150-400 is in a different level altogether and in price compares very favourably with Canon big whites
Hi Andrew. Glad all is ok with you following your operation. The ProCapture on OM-1 is fantastic. No problem for me getting birds taking off. Only very slight issue is the focal length to use to get as many of the shots in frame as possible but give consideration for cropping, particularly if using a fast shutter speed of 1/3200 with between f8 - 6.3 and the inevitable resulting high ISO between 1600 - 2500. Wildlife photography is not easy but great fun 😊😊. Only other system that has some advantages in this scenario is Sony A1 camera with 50 mega pixels and 100-400mm or 200-600mm lens with x1.4TC BUT no ProCapture.
❤ thank you
Andrew, loved the video, how did you get multiple butterflies in the one photo. I am relatively new to the OM-1 love it for Bird Photography. Good health too. From Queensland Aust.
Impresionante
Нужно иметь огромное терпение и уметь и знать повадки всех живых и мелких, но таких красивых и они не похожи друг на друга и такие прикольные ,просто смотреть приятно. Я не знаю о чем шол разговор, но поняла немного про что ....
I want to be an OM SYSTEM Ambassador!
I wouldn't fixate on the OM camera system. which is very expensive.for comparison . for 4700 USD you can buy a canon R7 with an RF100-500 mm zoom lens and an RF1.4 extender, which is almost 5000 USD cheaper than the Olympus combination.
Good luck pal 👍
May I ask what you are doing for a workflow for cleaning up high ISO images?
I use DXO prime or deep prime for all my high iso images - it is at another level compared to Topaz denoise
❤
What lens is that (white)?
It's the Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 Pro Lens.
lente muy bueno debe costar mucho dinero. que valor tiene un lente de estas. gracias buen video.
Fantastic! I wish you the best. Please make more videos like that🙏🏻I love it📸👍🫶
