Great photos Petr, and Tomas you are a great host
I love these.. learning so much
Missed the live chat Sorry guys. Costa Rica is definitely on my trip list - scheduled for 2025. I will be taking OM-1 and EM1 m3 cameras with 150-400mm, 40-150mm, 90mm macro together with x1.4and x2.0 TCs. Also taking wide angle lenses - 12-35mm and 8-18mm Panasonic lenses for general landscapes. This will be a trip of a life time for me now I have retired. Super shots Peter 😊😊
This was really enjoyable for me
I bought Petr’s OM 1 PDF guide. It’s excellent!
I really enjoyed your sharing and perspectives. The one question that I had, based on my own experience of night time walks in Ecuador and other places. My go to lens choice has been the 40-150mm f/2.8 lens, before the 90mm macro lens was available. For me, this was great for larger insects, frogs, lizards, and snakes, though not for the really little creatures. Did you use this lens for night time images, or did you prefer other options?
I call my 150-400 the BWL..... shorter and easier to say than White Gandalf, and people tend to know what I'm talking about....
Unfortunately the 90mm is far too expensive for me to justify my usage. So, I already had a Novolux Nikon/MFT adapter already and bought an older (nonVR) 105mm Micro Nikkor lens with an aperture ring (UK cost under £200). Great macro lens although you have to focus and set aperture manually. Superb image quality!
PS there is a Chinese MFT adapter which claims to have electronic contacts for around £150
To Petr Bambousek: From someone with 15 years experience shooting much greater than life-size single exposure shots of small invertebrates and angles. It is all about getting that magic angle. It's a bit different than the angle you use for larger subjects and lower magnifications where you are aiming to get that parallel to the focus plane. It is in fact, even more important to get that magic angle or the image just won't work. Generally, that magical angle is not parallel to the side of the invertebrate. But at an angle with the head closer. You are trying to adjust that angle on 4 axes, and it is all about moving the camera around to find that angle. You just have to experiment with different angles, but you will find, one particular angle, or sometimes a few that work, but no others. Generally, you start off with the focus part way down the curved eye closest to the camera, and then pivot the camera around this axis.
Noted. Thank you for sharing 👍
