Glad to see a pro UA-camr using the Olympus camera an underestimated piece of kit.
Beautiful images! Would have never thought it was your first outing with the new setup. Just proving it wasn’t the Z7 taking the beautiful photos, it was the man behind the camera.
I love your videos as well as my Olympus cameras in every way! I have never had so much personal enjoyment and connection with any other camera before, and I have been on the road with many cameras in my last forty years... Thank you so much for your pation and enthusiasm and certainly for your wonderful photographs. I'm looking forward to every new episode!
I loved your comment about the camera taking you back to when you first fell in love with photography, that was my experience too. I switched to Olympus from Canon FF around 4 years ago and it completely reinvigorated my photography. This is not to denigrate any other brand, ultimately it's finding the one that works best for you (and I genuinely believe in this day and age there's no such thing as a bad camera), but the Olympus/OM-System just suited me to a tee.
Love the vlog too.
Great video and what a spectacular place. Super shots.
Many thanks!
The silver birch photo is very pleasing to the eye. The way you’ve framed the shot is excellent 👍
Thanks a lot mate
Stunning images of the beautiful silver birches! Gorgeous colours 🙌👏🙌🥰🫶👍📷🥰
Congratulations on your OM-5. Great video and photos. Enjoy your time with family.
Thank you!
Can feel your excitement Henry, glad the new camera working for you. I have a Z7ii but back up for hikes is Z50 which at first I doubted could give the quality I wanted, but the more I go out with it and get to know it the more amazed I am and it is so lightweight. Brings back the enjoyment
Another great adventure Henry 👌🏻 some great shots. This was my grandmothers favourite places to visit in Scotland 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Your lucky to have that on your doorstep Henry!
Oh man watching this video and the landscape you are walking thru with all the greens and water and trees. This is an infrared shooters paradise. Just recently got a em5 mark ii ifull spectrum and it is so nice and never go out without it now with a couple of IR filters. Plus you can shoot a lot of stuff in the middle of the day when the lighting for normal color photography isn’t the best. It would definitely look into IR. It’s just fun
Congrats on new camera and thank you for the wonderfull adventure.
The first 2 photos i do like the first one a wee bit more, focal distance brings out more detail, however the lighting on the right side and reflection of second image seemed to give a scale of the scene.
To answer Your question at 28 min, i have used my phone (Nigel gave me idea) usually on more intimate scenes, it seems to help “focus” on scene/subj.
Loved the rambling style of this video Henry very relaxed.
I have a Fuji xt3 and love using it. I used to have Canon slrs and just needed a change and it's worked a treat. Had it a couple of years and still love it. The sound of the shutter adds to it for me - strange I know!
Love all your videos fantastic job!
Love from Wales 😘🤗🥰👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌wonderful memories of holidays in Aviemore with my Dad fishing on the river Spey and playing chicken on the main railway line with my brother 😼oops 🙀😸it seemed fun at the time! 🙀😹
Thanks so much! 😊
All images are beautiful.
Brilliant Henry! I‘ve experienced just the same when dumping my FF equipment and start roaming around with my OMD M5 Mark III and later on with the OM1❤
Fantastic!
The photos of the silver birch along the shore are gorgeous. Great and uplifting enthusiasm.
One comment, and a matter of personal opinion I guess, I enjoyed the content more when it was slightly more compact, in the 15-20 min range.
I thoroughly enjoyed that, Henry. Thank you!
My pleasure!
It's a bit of a gem, Henry, Craigellachie, and worthwhile making your way onto the top when conditions are clear. You could walk all day and not get better views.
Really nice images Henry. I remember going back to a Fuji bridge camera from a DSLR around 2010. The reason for doing so was that I'd just got a new dog and couldn't handle all the heavy gear as well. I found myself automatically 'helping' the bridge camera do what a DSLR would have wanted and as a result stopped worrying about whether or not it could take the shot. Meanwhile the dog got taken to new places and so did the much lighter weight camera. I didn't give up on DSLRs as their image quality always had a higher potential, and with a certain lens the filters could be shared. New cameras get you out and about more and that's probably the best reason to get one.
Great video Henry, I what I found as I get older is I like to travel light. I do own a dslr with several lens and tripod but recently I discovered the Panasonic Lumix fz300 Bridge camera. The camera is super light, 25-600mm, shoots raw, 4k video and 4k photo burst up 30fps, the down side is it is only 12mg file size.
Another good video Henry, have a great week👍
Amazing captures… I loved them all… So jealous of your location…. Great job as usual…
I suspect no matter what kind of camera you use, you figure out how it works and create great images all the same! I love every image you posted on this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much :)
Great video as always. Deffo a place to visit in the winter. Cant wait to see what the new setup produces in the Lakes 📷
I last visited the Cairngorms back in the late 90's, when I was working at various whisky distilleries by day, and cycling the Speyside Way in the evening and at the weekend. I recorded my adventures on a brand-new Kodak DC 215, a mighty 1Mb beast! I published the photos on my long-since-extinct cycling website and, TBH, the photos looked pretty good. Would love to make a return trip with more modern camera gear (and a modern, lightweight bike) but, alas, life seems to forever get in the way. It was great to re-live those old days through your eyes - another fantastic video. Well done!
Thanks Eddie
My favourite parts of your videos are when you talk through your composition techniques and the visualisations
Cracking video Henry, I've had my OM5 about 3 weeks and really enjoying photography again after hauling around heavy cameras.The smaller size is great for hiking, love the image stabilization and the built in nd filters, the colours are painterly, as were your super forest images. Looking forward to more 👍
Thanks for sharing
Amazing video Henry I have spent some time in Aviemore and in the rothiemercus estate behind Aviemore high street. looked amazing . another outstanding video thanks Danny
Henry, enjoyed your video as usual ( in Aussie a bloody ripper ) but forget the stills for a moment your video work is excellent and the colours from the landscape pop. I think image stabilisation is the way of the future in photography, anything to make you leave gear at home to capture low light situations is a bonus & yes enjoy the moment it's all good.
Great video Henry.... your selection of locations are always good & the pics are magnificent.... the camera system sounds interesting as your comments help understand your experience.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Yet another lovely video - I have so many places on my list... and this added now too :) got my om5 2 months ago - still learning it - but yep - it is a little dynamo.
Glad to see your first experience with the OM-5 was good. I love my E-M1 Mark III. The lighter gear has been very freeing.
Been an OM-1 owner since it came out. Nikon is still my primary kit but really look forward to seeing how you get on with the OM-5. Cheers!
Interesting to hear your thoughts regarding the new camera: I tend to agree that the OM products are a delight to use. They always seem to have capabilities that are easy to access, which points to a depth of thought behind the system. I never really felt comfortable with my Fujifilm, and though I still have my RX-10, digging into its menus is excruciating. Yet all have been designed to be _used_. So in all likelihood, it's probably just the way my mind works that sees me comfortable with OMS. The same goes for processing software - I'm enjoying LrC, but it doesn't mean other applications are inadequate in any way. One thing I found just a few days ago, the OM high-res mode can be used to smooth water as if you were using an ND filter, and you gain a bit more dynamic range (according to the experts). I had a really good fiddle with that, and I think I got some promising results. I needed to apply a bit more thought to what I was doing, but it was just an experiment.
Henry, I know people are going to think I'm silly for feeling this way, but I have a special place in my heart for my Nikon D5100. I know there are cameras with a lot more mega pixels, that focus faster, and take better low light pictures; but I love my old D5100. I keep looking at D5300s and D7100s but I just like my old camera. I've even considered replacing my D5100 with a D610. But every time I go to pull the trigger I change my mind. I wind up buying a lens, or some other piece of equipment that goes with my Nikon. This morning I called KEH and ordered a Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED IF Autofocus APS-C Lens to replace a Sigma lens that is about to die. I thought about getting a 50mm prime lens, but why bother when I'm happy with my crop sensor body. I guess when my old girl finally gives up and stops doing the job I'll look into getting something that has a few more bells and whistles. But in the mean time my D5100 and I are going to keep taking photos.
The feeling you have with your new camera is similar to what I had when I had an IR converted Nikon D50... it wasn't the kind of IR that was totally B&W but let in a small amount of green once the red and blue channels were swapped in post processing. Almost point and shoot instant masterpieces!!! I mistakenly sold it on for a newer IR converted Nikon D5300 but there is something about the CMOS sensor and IR that didn't quite work for me (although having live view IR was useful) , and the 5300 broke on me recently so I now have a CCD Nikon D80 IR camera and the type of IR is suited better to B&W in camera conversion so it forces me to think a bit harder about the composition... really cheap to get hold of and fun to use.
Once again, Henry's beautiful images, love and appreciation for autumn colours, and his childlike, contagious enthusiasm are making us all just want to go out and try getting some decent photos ourselves. Thank you! 😀👍
Many thanks!
I love your excitement! Your enthusiasm, whether it's about a location, a technique, photography in general, or even new gear, is contagious! I love that you are so much yourself and your enthusiasm is so infectious and lovely! Thank you for spreading good cheer and just loveliness in this weird world!!
Thanks a lot that's very nice of you to say!
I really couldn't say it better, my exact words!
Some really awesome shots Henry. I switched from a larger setup to OM for landscape and wildlife a few months back. Still carry a small tripod for certain scenarios but being able to shed all the weight and still be able to print phenomenal images its a no brainer for me. Have fun out there
I've had a few cameras I've enjoyed using for no good logical reason, they just felt right. Mamiya C220 TLR and Fuji ST901 film cameras. And my Olympus EM5ii, which I traded in for an EM1ii which is a "better" camera in every way, but not as much fun! But I used to take my Mamiya out shooting even when I didn't have any film in it, just for the pleasure of framing a shot and clicking the shutter. Absolutely absurd, but really satisfying.
BTW I much prefer the Braemar side of the 'Gorms. The rivers are bigger, the waterfalls higher and the forests more varied. And the network of paths around Mar lodge easily rivals the Aviemore side.
Ive been to Avimore. Hope to get back some day
Not about the photography, but how do you deal with Ticks and making sure you haven't picked any up? I ran around woods until my mid 20's not even thinking they existed (I certainly didn't check for any), but now I know a few people suffering with Lyme disease, it's suddenly become an issue in my mind.
I have to admit the one camera I really love using is my Olympus OM-1 35mm slr. Yep, tis a 1970's film camera and it's a joy to use. I wanted one when I was a kid in the 70's and swore I would own one some day. That day came a few years back and I am not disappointed, it was truly worth the wait. I don't use the built in light meter as I haven't had a battery in it for ages and it's fine, it's a fully mechanical camera. I have an old Gossen Trisix selenium cell light meter that is still accurate half a century after being made and it is definietly a great experience. There's a lot to be said for having a "Batteries Not Included" day out. Just me, my OM-1 and a couple of Zuiko lenses. Bliss!
OM1's are recently on my radar. I think it would make a better Nikon Z50 (my current light Peak Design clip passenger). I'll stay tuned. :)
Great video Henry it gave me a really good feeling about my own move to MFT. I use tje EM1 Mark III these days and love it. From the image stalisation, built in ND filers and the High Res shooting. Well done cant wait to see more.
Henry, the images you took with the Olympus looked wonderful! Don't know if it was due to the camera, the light, the scenery, the edit...., but it will be interesting to hear your take on the new camera and what it produces for you over time. Thanks for sharing👍🏻
My favourite ever camera was a Fuji bridge camera, went from that to Sony and just couldn’t get on with it at all so traded it in and have gone back to Fuji with the X-T5. Early days as not used it much but think it’s going to be fun again. It’s brilliant (and inspirational) to see a pro photographer using what would be classed by some as a non pro camera and getting such enjoyment and great results from it 👍
Hi Henry. Amazing video as always I’ve been subscribed for years but first time commenting. I’d love a video solely on tripod versus image stabilisation - with a pixel peep comparison on the results :) I often do hikes/wild camps and carrying a tripod is so painful but I love shooting sunrise/sunset and my Fuji system is lightweight but not when you include a 1.5Kg tripod.. If this camera can shoot comfortably at say 2 seconds handheld and you want a light set up may I ask why you still bring a tripod?
Thanks a lot! I have always used a tripod so I need to wean myself off it haha
I, too, have switched to the OM system. I have the big beast EM one Mark two. It has totally replaced my Nikon D 800. I love the software features, the range of lenses, and most of all how much weight I am leaving behind!
It is good to hear you talking about the composition and light long before you even touch the camera. I have often walked past a scene that I thought would be good, gone on further and then came back, only to find the light gone.
Technically IBIS is very good. I have had the E-M5ii for many years with its "4.5 stops", which is good but its effectiveness reduces with the length of the lens.
The performance of a super-zoom is compromised by that which makes it a super-zoom, its extreme zoom range. They try hard but cannot be good at all focal lengths. The 12-200 is a 16x super-zoom. The 12-200 is often compared to the Panasonic 14-140 10x travel lens (which does punch way above its weight) but a more reasonable comparison is the often forgotten Panasonic 45-200ii f/4-5.6 4x zoom. The mark 1 dates from 2008, one of the first MFT lenses and not much loved due to the primitive Mega-OIS. The mark 2 with Power-OIS sorted it out but you will find both rather cheaply on the used market. The E-M5ii handles the mark 1 rather better than a Lumix back does. With the mark 2, no change on an Olympus back but a different animal on a Lumix.
For long shots, Olympus do have a soft-shutter function.
Hi Henry! Another great video. It's a lovely area there, I know it well.
Great to see your transition to mft. I've always enjoyed your videos, irrespective of what camera you were using (the choice of camera is far from the most important element of photography!) but as a mft user for many years I can relate even more to your videos now. (Lumix user myself). Use the same Peak Design clip on my rucksack when walking or cycling, shoot handheld the majority of the time and general just enjoy being out and about in the countryside with my camera with me. And yes, it's great fun! 😊
i still love being out with my camera been doing photography for about 10 years now and still love going out with it and when u get some new gear no matter what it’s cost it inspires me to get out more 📷👍
PS am off work till Tuesday now looking to go to the lakes to shoot the bothy up from Honister Pass am sure you know the one 👍
great video thanks , what mp is this camera ?
I see that you're using the Peak Design mounting system with this camera. I wanted to let you know that the tripod mount used with this bracket in this camera model can tear off part of the body, so be careful-it happened to me three times.
I've had my E-M1s for quite a while and yet I always get the feel-good feeling the minute I pick one up.
I still read the manuals and watch tutorials from time to time because there's always a little surprise feature just waiting to be discovered.
We stayed in Aviemore on our trip to Scotland in 2019. Lovely little town, but I wish I’d known about this nature park! Simply beautiful.
I switched from Olympus to Canon FF.
I never had the same fun and emotional connection to Canon like I did to Olympus...the R6 to me is just a tool, whereas my em1mark2 was so much more, and
I am pretty sure that I will come back to Olympus one day.
Great photos, I love them, thanks for taking us out 😃
I get the most enjoyment shooting my vintage Nikon DSLRs. I have a D40, D200, D300, D7000 and D750.
MFT = Fun!!!
awesome shots and video. Just curious why you went with and Olympus camera? I am sure you explained it in a previous video, and I might have missed it.
It's amazing how we see things differently as photographers. I'm constantly looking for imperfection in nature and I'd have been all over that dead silver birch trunk. Brilliant video as always.
There have been some failures of the E-M5iii plastic baseplate and the OM-5 is the same design. Be very careful using the camera with a tripod and especially with the Peak Design attachment. Nothing wrong with the PD clip, it is the movement of the camera on the strap attachment in combination with the camera design that can fatigue the plastic at the tripod mount. The tripod mount is very weak compared to the E-M1 versions and even to the E-M5ii predecessor.
Prophetic words!
Cracking images there Henry. Loved the colours. Looks like you’re having great fun with the new camera. That’s amazing image stabilisation too. Anything that helps you leave the tripod at home is a great thing in my opinion. I really dislike the damn things 😂
I bought the Olympus em1 MK2 earlier this year from mpb after trading in a lens I never used, love this camera and the ibis is insane
Got the em5 mark iii and found I hardly need a tripod now. tarting to feel the limitations of the 20mp m4/3 sponsor and itching for more mp to zoom in.
The photographs in this video are outrageous 👌👏
Thanks so much, the location definitely helped!!
Thanks again Henry, always something new and interesting, and always the same enthusiasm.🙂
Henry, that never-say-die silver birch trunk was begging to be shot! I have shots of dead tree (parts) somewhat like that, albeit sans the nice background view.
Perhaps, I just couldn't find a composition!
Loving your woodland shots with the OM5 top class 👍
Thanks 👍 much appreciated!
Blue Hour , although all your shots are great 👌That will be $20 thank you 😅
Are you changing your camera system to the om system or keeping the Nikon? Great video as usual. Thanks...
Not sure yet, will likely keep the Nikon!
I like the way you avoided any fuss over full frame and mft and just got on taking great photos.
Thats a great idea to place a camera mount on your shoulder strap for carrying 👍
Fantastic video Henry :-)
After years and years of Nikon shooting I recently moved to Fuji and absolutely love it! I am however, quite envious of the built in ND filter in the OM 5 :-)
Did you ever get the om-5 back after repair?
What do you use for your ‘selfie’ setup? Just curious. Love the content. Ed
DJI Action 4 mate 👍🏻
What a treat! Not only got another great video from you, but also got a happy trip down memory lane. Back in November 2019 we were staying in Avirmore for a few days, and one morning woke up to thick fog and I knew Craigellachie was where we needed to go. I took one of my favourite photos from Scotland around the spot you were by at 21:50. We then went to the top of the crag and were treated to a cloud inversion. For a couple of people from the sub-tropical Gold Coast the entire day was such a treat! Thanks for a great video Henry, and I second your plug for Aviemore and it's pubs, and the Cairngorms in general. We also stayed in Braemar and that was also wonderful, though much smaller.
Another very enjoyable outdoor video. Thanks.
You talked a lot about this woodland having autumn colors, but imagine it by a very misty day!
That would be cool!
🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Hey there, Henry! Can you tell us what brand/model of strap mount that you are attaching your camera to your backpack strap, please? In my 6 decades I've only ever used neck/shoulder straps but now my neck and shoulder pain is telling me to get with the times!!! 😂 Cheers, bro!
Hi mate, it is Peak Design 👍🏼
Henry I've always had pro cameras and gear....BUT just lately with the disgusting prices of new gear...I've found myself going backwards and smaller!! I still have a Z5, but about to purchase a Sony RX100 and maybe the RX10IV for the light, small 600mm lens. Even the 1 inch sensors are great nowadays! Even indoors at ISO6400. As we get older and look back at old photos....Image quality really hasn't come on much in 10 years. And for screen use and even printing up to A2, the gear is irrelevant with all today's technology. Smaller, lighter gear is king now.
Yesterday I picked up my OM-5 model from 2015. It’s been sitting in my den all these years. I went bananas over how much fun it is. More simple than the latest gear, it was sheer joy to fool around with its basic features. A great camera. Many times I wonder if people fully use a camera’s capabilities before they jump to a newer model just because it is new.
But the OM-5 was only released last year!
Love Watching Your Videos First Thing Saturday Morning!! So Relaxing And Informative... If You Can Take Just One Lens For Landscape Photography, What Lens Would You Take? Keep Up The Good Hard Work ...
Fantastic choice pal. I have the OM-5, em1 mk3, and the OM-1 the speed of the OM-5 and IbIS is Fantastic and video is really good the 12-100mm is always on my OM-5 or em1mk3 whichever I take out on the day. I have the 100-400mm on the Om1 unless I am doing landscape the the 12-100mm goes on the om1. The 12-100mm is an absolute Fantastic lens so versatile and exceptional reach. I've won a few competitions with it. Enjoy mate
I love the OM5. When I got mine, I literally just received it, and headed off on a trip to Japan. Best travel camera as far as I am concerned. Only had the 12-45mm F4 PRO lens with me though, but it was perfect for a lightweight kit. I am now retired but one of my prior consultancy places was with MacDonald Hotels, and I was supposed to visit Avemore through them, but my trip got cancelled. Seeing your video, I wish I was able to go now. Sounds like I need a little trip from London to Scotland,
Many thanks for sharing this with us Henry. It never ceases to amaze me just how stunning your photos are. Can I ask how the OM-5 & 12-200 F4 lens worked as a combination? Take care, stay safe and keep adventuring.
I thought I was a Nikon for life user, film SLRs and APSC digital SLRs until age and health issues made me realise in 2016 I had to lighten the load. So these days my landscape kit is an Olympus E-M1 ii with 14-150mm and 9-18mm lenses. I rarely take a tripod these days too. No regrets.
Nice Henri, loved the long shots of the trees and reflections. You should post them upside down once in a while to keep your audience guessing what's wrong ;-)
I recently switched from Canon 6D Mk II to Sony A7R4. Lost some weight and size, gained dynamic range, low-light performance, megapixels, frames per second and I can use 3rd party lenses compared to Canon RF system.
Beautiful images, nice to see a beautiful woodland again! Love seeing the beginning of the fall colors. I was in Germany the last week, and fall was really starting off there already. The camera seems like a great one, did you sell the Z7? I'm sorry, you probably told us in the 3 hour video and I will definitely watch it (I'm about an hour in already), but I just haven't had the time to finish watching it.
I started out photography with a Nikon D7200, which is funny, because I remember, you had the same camera when I started following the channel. But I could just never really get to love using that camera. It was a brilliant piece of gear, but not intuitive at all for me. Then a couple years later I got myself a Fujifilm X-H1.. and it just got glued to my hand. It taught me to adore the process of taking an image. There's something about these retrostyled cameras that's different. Great video!
The enjoyment comes from my lens’, I use a Canon EOS R, but my lens’ are made by Lensbaby… They are amazing…. They are built for the creatives… LOL They are not what a landscape photographer carries, not that they can’t be used for landscape photography but more for the street, portraits, etc…. And yes, I know the feeling of being excited when you view the back of your camera and it blows your mind from seeing the end result of a simple photo.
I have a used OM E-M5 with a pancake lens as my car camera for those opportunities when I don't have my main camera. Great cameras. I have 3 olympus cameras including a modified for IR E-M10. Great video, lovely shots.
Great video, I too shoot OM Systems and Nikon. The OM is just so much fun!
Thanks!
I ditched Canon my DSLR for the mark 1 em-5 back in 2012 and bought a panasonic 45-175 at the time to pair with the 12-50 kit zoom. The system being so small and lightweight was the main reason. I have knackerd shoulders, probably from lugging backpacks all over the shop with too much weight.
I now use the em5 mark iii and love it for much the same reasons you mentioned. There's just something pleasing about it. I'm in Scotland with it right now, up near the isle of Skye. Now paired with the 12-45f4 and pan leica 8-18mm along with the still evergreen 45-175 for the most part.
I have a, some would say, superior Panasonic G9 too, but that stayed home this time. Lovely in the hand as it is, its heavy and not really what m43 is about for me. Having that camera always brought me confusion. I know it's good and probably technically superior in many ways, but shooting with the em5 series is fun and i always feel more happy and content when using them. I had to force myself to leave it behind for my latest trip because i didnt want to spend half an hour trying to decide which camera to take each day and im so glad i did. My backup is the Em5.3s predecessor the mark ii. Still a fab camera, but dont feel guilty leaving it behind in the car as a backup if the worst should happen to my current cam.
Hope you love your Om5 as much as i do its predecessors. A word of caution, my em5 body type is the same polycarbonate as yours, i believe. There were numerous reports of tripod mount failures on my version by people using peak design style clips. I think this was because the mounting point was/is weak in that area when carried that way. I dont know if its still true for the newer OM5 model though.
I picked up a small and light arca swiss grip for mine, which is on the camera all the time and spreads the load. Dont know if it would work in the Peak design clip you have though.
Liked the first of the two birch tree shots, the one before the sunlight hit.
My digital, Fuji X-E3 and XT-10 feel great fun to shoot, but just as great to use is my Minolta XD-11 35mm Film SLR.
Welcome to my world, been shooting Olys since 2018 and enjoyed every minute of it. Get your hands on the 12-100, it's a solid lens and I do 95% of my landscape photography with it.
some superb photos there Henry We can see we're watching a skilled practicioner of the art And, this video is one in the eye for all of those zealots who say the only way to go is full frame We've see you do it a few times, proving you can get perfect results with ANY sensor size 35mm APSC or M4/3 It's about your skills not your camera or sensor size To borrow from Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, Myth BUSTED!
Hi Henry & hello from Oz, sadly I'm feeling the opposite to what you describe Henry, I'm tired of carrying around my Canon & it's heavy lenses etc etc etc.
I'm very close to & looking forward to making the change to the Om system or the new Lumix G9 mk II, then hopefully my enthusiasm will be restored.
Watching videos from you & William Patino have certainly inspired me to improve my photography.
Cheers & Thankyou.
Thanks for sharing
I sold all of my Canon full frame gear 18 months ago and I invested in Olympus and a mixture of Olympus and Panasonic lenses. I did it to reduce the weight and bulk l carried. As a person with mobility and health issues and it is the best move I have made. I still get awards in international exhibitions and sell prints. The quality is great and the EM1 mark 3 and EM5 mark 3 are feature filled and convenient and unobtrusive in busy areas. Lovely images as always and so much inspiration and enthusiasm.
I agree a camera is a personal item. We all agree that it’s the photographer, not the camera. But, if I had one camera and one lens, I love the Nikon Z7 with the 24-120 lens. A light weight package for simple hiking.
