I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not opposed to getting close sometimes. It provides an interesting perspective in my opinion.

You can see settings at the top of my images. My quick method is: 1. Set aperture to provide adequate depth for subject(s). 2. Set shutter speed so that background meters around -1EV 3. Set ISO to 200.

Everything Tom said above! I will add that a small, simple bounce flash will do wonders for any camera. The two images below are from an OM-1 taken back to back, one with flash, one without. This ...

Harvey (awesome name),  I refrained from commenting in the lead up to this shoot because I didn’t want to prejudice your experience with my opinion.  That said, it appears you reached the same ...

Between handheld high-res (HHHR) and tripod high-res (HR) my decision making process is trypically: (1) Resolution is the #1 priority: HR > HHHR (2) Noise is ...

Heavy rains (rare here!) brought water levels in rivers and lagoons unusually high. I crossed paths with some egrets fishing in the flooded areas. They are entertaining to watch! Kicking myself for ...

Hi Bob, Not sure I understand what you're seeing but this is my experience with generic C-AF+Tr on the OM-1. It appears "floaty" as I push the camera around but never loses subject.  First scene is ...

Sorry to hear about your troubles - lens issues can be frustrating and I've had my share! As someone else suggested, if the lens is under warranty, I would ask for a replacement after the first ...

I use it both at the coast and for urban photography.

The optics alone are worth it in my opinion.  Wide open it is sharper across the frame than my 40-150/2.8 at any aperture.  There is a little purple fringing on high contrast edges (chrome and ...

Andrew, meet knickerhawk - one of the most informative, knowledgable, non-inflammatory and genuinely nicest members of DPR! :-) If you're smart, you'll pay attention when he posts. He doesn't post ...

Thank you, very kind.  I use the R5 for a bit of this and that.  Event work with the 28-70 F2 and 70-200 F2.8.  Those looks are hard to replicate with M43 in zooms.  Occasionally some 8K video as ...

It's a fun town to shoot - I will be there for work in a few weeks but not looking forward to January weather! The scene above I found perfect for high-res long exposure shot with the 12-100.

That is not my experience.  There is more detail in HHHR shots.  The ORF's require a different approach to sharpening but even OOC JPG there is a noticeable difference.

I appreciate the kind remarks. Sorry for not responding sooner, yesterday was an impromptu Disney day. This morning, I pulled some ordinary examples that might answer your tonality question. These ...

I live and work at the beach. I use Olympus almost exclusively in that sand/saltwater environment. Examples: https://www.mitropoulos.photography/Orange-County/ I rinse the OM-D’s off with distilled ...

Sounds like ideal conditions for high-res. Some examples: https://www.mitropoulos.photography/High-Res/ Can be on tripod (pixel shift) or handheld. Further reading: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/ ...

I use all three. The Summilux-SL is my favorite rendering. I use it for studio, portraits and candid people shots. The S PRO is technically faultless. My only complaint is the OOF areas...

I haven't attempted 30s yet but Will inspires me to try! I do have some 6 and 8 second shots at 25mm in wet sand.  That's somewhere around 8-9 stops using the 1/FL rule of thumb.
