https://www.photocreative.com/collections/olympus-1Ah, Photocreative, I never been there, I completely forgot about them. In an out of the way place, on a side street in an industrial area, and there is (or was?) a photolab called Browns nearby, maybe even on the same street too, so maybe I get them confused. Thanks for the reminder. I will try to remember them when the 90mm F3.5 Macro IS Pro finally comes out. I can get there with just one bus too, although the route is getting very crowded lately, at least it's just 20 minutes ride, 15 minutes walk, no need to take...Show more →
OMDS seems to have a much better handle on the real attraction of OM stuff than Olympus ever did. Olympus always advertised the same way as everybody else, even if most of their Ambassadors were adventure photography types (simply because that is the majority of working pro’s using the system). OMDS however pivoted pretty quick to focusing on the Adventure Photographer, be it landscape, lifestyle, nature or wildlife work and their marketing focuses almost entirely on that, which is good for the system. They’re finally advertising to the market they need to be And showing the gear being used in ways that it is the best in class for.
Look at the OM-5 launch, the videos were done at night in the Grand Tetons, on a Swiss mountain and in the wilds of Northern Sweden.
The sad part is that did lead them to part ways with some notable Ambassadors who didn’t really do the thing they were focusing on, although they seem to have picked up a couple street shooting types again.

Testing out the 40-150 f4 Pro. I'm impressed, this is the 40-150 I've been waiting a decade for. Nearly as small as the 40-150 f4-5.6 R, but every bit as sharp as the 40-150 f2.8 Pro

This male Anna's Hummingbird is probably about two years old. He still has not finished molting this year and the colors of his head and gorget are just starting fill in. When he is a full adult his whole head and gorget will be a crimson color. Background is a Japanese Maple losing its leaves as we had first snowfall. Installed a heater on hummingbird feeder today.

Nice shot Tony,
What camera, lens did you use. How you guys get Anna's Hummingbirds to stand still is beyond me.

Front Range varying times before sunrise and at sunrise
G9 and Laowa 17mm f/4 - shutter speed was 15 sec ISO3200 for stars, and ISO 200 1/60 for the moon. Several shots of the same scene, blended together.

Thanks,
This is the first time I have had the opportunity to photograph flying birds with my new camera. What I found is just what I wrote in my Field Guide, knowing what to do and doing it are two different things.
The first day I made multiple mistakes in exposure. I even have a button for Black Birds, White Background (BBWB) and White Birds, Back Background (WBBB) but failed to switch when appropriate and lost a great shot of an Acorn Woodpecker in flight. The bird was simply a black blob and the camera did not recognize it. One the second day I also failed to switch to BBWB for the cormorant kerfuffle but fortunately the camera recognized the bird.
I also forgot to reduce the zoom when a big bird was taking flight, so I cut off part of the bird (see attached). I did, however, get a subsequent shot (see attached). (I think my wife got a great shot of this bird heading from the shore to the perch. I will post later.)
Finally, at the end of the second day BBWB percolated into my brain, and I was able to get an Acorn Woodpecker in flight
