    OM-D E-M5 IS Effectiveness with Long Lenses

    In body IS has been touted as a great stand in for optical IS for many years,  However, in practice, these systems often have fallen flat when it comes to stabilizing longer lenses.  The IS can’t shift enough to counteract the movement of a really narrow field of view, and as a result becomes largely…

  • Backyard Spiders!

    Well, front yard actually in this case.  This little post is a helpful reminder to look for photographic opportunities close to home.  I went looking for spiders in my bushes this morning before work, as there are usually some grass spiders to be found.  I found one, but I also stumbled upon a very small,…

    Olympus E-M5 Sports Shooting Field Report

    As you can see by looking at the front page (or by looking in the “photos” archive if reading this a few weeks after I write it), I had a chance to shoot the Memorial Tournament Pro-Am and practice rounds using my Olympus OM-D E-M5 this past week.  I thought I’d share a few key…
