Industrial Decay in Cincinnati
These are all taken in the old industrial part of Cincinnati. Now very much "rust-belt" territory. All with the E-M1ii and 12-100 (just such an amazing combination - I really like this lens).

Kingfisher on the move
The E-M1 with the Canon FD 500 F/4.5L from the other day
Ready for take off
And just off and about
And the crab toss
All the best folks.

Open Road: Southwest Edition
My in-laws and Sister-in-law came for a visit from Europe recently. We did a 6 day, 2300 miles road trip through some of the National Parks and attractions in the Southwest. An excerpt from the travels.

A Day in the Bay with the Lowly EM1.1 and the Lowlier 75-300
Yesterday morning I set off on a small paddle with the kayaks around the bay we live in. I almost took no camera, but decided that despite the overcast day, I could probably get some kayaking shots of my sister and her friends. Since wildlife photography was off the menu, I left the 300 Pro in the cupboard and stuck on my old Oly 75-300 v.1, a reasonable lens for close to medium shots. Upon our journey, I soon spied an eagle perched on a tall rock, eating some sort of sea creature. was pretty proud of...

Music Video filmed with EM5m2
Olympus does not have the best reputation for video so I was a little hesitant, especially since this was my first try with this, but I am pretty pleased with the quality. Outdoors I used the water-resistant Panasonic 12-35mm lens which was very helpful when it started to snow. I came back another day to shoot a few more scenes in milder weather and used the Panasonic 25mm/1.4. I forgot to bring an ND filter and ended up using a smaller aperture. For indoor scenes, in a studio and at a cafe next door, I used 12-35mm and 25mm/1.4.
Someone else edited the footage. I did not talk with the editor beforehand. I don't know much about editing but I think I probably should've filmed at 60p instead of 24p for the sake of slow motion scenes.
The star of the video also directed and had a list of scenes to be filmed. However it all kind of fell by the wayside, and some stuff was either rushed or not done at all. I will definitely try to go over everything in more detail before showing up to film next time. Snowy weather kind of made everything more interesting and dramatic I think. Definitely a case of making lemonade from lemons here. All in all, it was a great experience and I am happy with results. EM5m2 did great. I definitely appreciated the flip out screen which allowed easy filming of any weird angle I could think of. IBIS also worked beautifully, though I probably do need to work on my movement technique for smoother results.
Any comments/critique greatly appreciated

Another visit to NY
While I was working in Boston a few months ago I got a chance to visit NY for the first time. I've been back in Boston for work these past couple of months, and got a chance to visit NY once again this past Memorial Day weekend. During my last visit I mainly used the two Olympus Pro zooms for their versatility, so this time around I decided to use just primes (O25 Pro/PL42.5/O75). All shots are handheld.
