Wonderful images and superb descriptions, too ! As usual, indeed. I love the way you explain how you shoot and above all how you postproduce images. The tricks you use in Lightroom are great ! To answer a previous comment, I recently bought a 12-45 F4 for my E-M5 III and now it"s almost my unique lens, it's fantastic ! Thank you Derek, greetings from Italy !
Thank you for your comments and greetings from England to Italy. Glad you find my programmes useful and helpful. The 12 -45 Pro Lens although similar in features to the 12-40 does have its own place in the extensive range of Olympus/OM SYSTEM lenses.
Wonderful production with the dance of music and visuals. Loved the tutorial!! Very helpful and I think can be applied in other areas as well. Thanks so much, Derek!
The Belfast programme goes live to everyone this Friday. Being a Member, you will have viewed it already. I am going back to Northern Ireland next week to the Causeway Coast but I may spread my territory a bit. Thanks for watching and your support.
Bonjour et merci pour cette vidéo.Aucune église n'est pareil ! et je garde votre façon de prise de vue avec mon EM5 mark III cela est très bien Au plaisir bonne journée
Hello Richard. Thank you for your enquiry about online photography courses. I used to run Photographic Holidays but Covid changed that. This is when I developed my RU-vid Channel and much of any teaching is now done that way. If you are willing to become a Member and support my work financially I may be able to help by producing a new programme about a photo-technique, or a place in the UK to photograph, suggested by you. Therefore, I am unable to offer an online photography course but if becoming a Member and suggesting a topic for the future is of interest, here is the link: - ru-vid.com/show-UCATkctKLy5DVQ0j72haRs2gjoin
My personal taste would be to have more contrast. I often find that my first attempt at an image of an interior with bright windows but much of the interior of the room in shadow is to work the sliders to get rid of the shadow and highlight warnings. But when I export from LR, the jpeg looks unnatural. Everyone knows that there should be a very broad dynamic range in such a scene. So I go back and either start over or move the sliders around again to to increase contrast. Often, I slightly blowout highlights and darken shadows selectively. You can spends many minutes, even hours, experimenting!
The 12 mm to 40 mm F2.8 Pro is close to perfection. I have never seen a bad review, so why OM chose to update to the 12 mm to 45 mm, is beyond me. F4 slower does not compensate for better coating,s? Perhap,s a better wide zoom?
Thank you for your thoughts. I am not sure about the history of the 12-45 but it is the established kit lens for the OM-5, launched last year. Whatever the lens, if the chosen optic works for the photographer, that is all that matters. I came to the 12-45 from the 12-100 and although much lighter, if I am honest I do occasionally find the lack of telephoto a problem. Its optical quality is as good as the 12-100, just confirmed by having one of my 12-45 images reproduced on a calendar and the client is now considering further images from the OM-5 + 12-45 combo. F4 maximum aperture concerned me at first. It does not have its dedicated image stabiliser but used with the OM-5 I can still take indoor images at 1/2 second.
