Gear My kit included: Olympus OMD E-M5; Olympus 17mm 1.8 lens (34mm equivalent) – yes, just one lens; Lightcraft variable ND filter; Pixel Tw-282 wireless remote control; and Aluminium Inca tripod that…
A few thoughts on how slowing down can find the essence of fun and laughter, and the special memories we all share — told through a long weekend in Port Macquarie, NSW Australia. No itinerary just a beautiful place. When an opportunity arose to take the family up the coast, I packed up the family…
When I looked into a super-telephoto zoom lens for the Micro Four Thirds system to go on my Olympus OMD-EM5, I came across the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II that has focal range equivalent to 150mm-600mm.

They were adamant that all that was required was love and pledged never to marry. However, years have passed,…
I just returned from a cruise travelling from Sydney to Vanuatu and New Caledonia. It was a break to get some shutter therapy and spend some quality time with my family. I only had my trusty Olympus OMD EM5 and two lenses with me, the M.Zuiko 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 and the 17mm F1.8. I always feel…
Friday 25 October 2013. Laman Street, Newcastle Revitalised. I am very fortunate living in the beautiful coastal city of Newcastle, located north of Sydney.
