If you keep a spare in the pocket you can alternate. A charged battery will last at least an hour with the camera out in -10F (e-shutter).  I just did this January 1st: https://www.dpreview.com/for ...

I live in a pretty flat area (Minnesota).  It helps sometimes to get a wider field of view without necessarily adding height. You can use a tripod, I am not sure if you can use hi-res mode, and I ...

and any gear can do it. Panoramas are actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

I really think that switching over to all electric is not going to be all that cheap.  Electric heat has to be the most expensive thing going

I was over taking pictures of a frozen waterfall and saw the steam rising off the river.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the skiiers in there.  Some people rise to challenges I would not even ...

Just fantastic!  Your reflexes must be excellent to get those shots.  I am just learning to shoot with a long lens and learning how incredibly difficult it is to both frame a moving subject and ...

I just got an Olympus 300 f4. I have the 75-300 and after a couple of shots comparing the results with the oly 12-100f4 I realized a large difference between the results of the two lenses and ...

Thanks!  Sounds like a pleasant way to spend the day :)

Nicely done!  Do you just "come upon" your birds?  Or do you wait for them to come? I am trying to learn how to improve in taking bird shots.

I like the way your sling looks.  I had a backpack that I put an insert in for carrying the oly 12-100 and 300f4 plus camera Em1 ii.  I always had to set it down to change lenses, which is a ...

>> So you are saying that inside of the lens it is Fogging? That should not happen. I have not had that happen with any of my lenses. However it is easy to get fogging on outside the front element ...
