Photographing flowers with the M.Zuiko 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 IS wouldn’t be top-of-mind for the majority of folks who enjoy this image genre. And, I must admit this lens wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice either.
Is Using Computational Photography Cheating?
There appears to be some opinions in a few photographic chatrooms that using computational photography is cheating. Of course name calling… and ridiculing the photographic choices of others… is nothing new in the photography community. Some folks have been throwing stones at others for years… if not longer.

That One Shot
Like most photographers, I’m always looking for ‘that one shot’ when I’m out with my camera gear to help evaluate the success of a photographic session.
PRO 45 mm f/1.2 Close Up Test
This article features handheld images captured with an M.Zuiko PRO 45 mm f/1.2 during a close up test done around my gardens at home.
The first thing readers may be thinking is “Why do a close up test with a relatively short prime lens that has a minimum focusing distance of 50 cm (~19.7 inches)?” Admittedly this is a rather bizarre thing to do.
Quick Shots From 6 Stops
This article shares a small selection of quick shots from 6 stops, captured during a day out with another photographer who was visiting my local area. While I had some camera gear with me, my main objective wasn’t to capture a lot of photographs, but rather serve as an area guide, and to identify some image opportunities.
All of the images featured in this article were captured handheld, and are displayed in the order in which they were created during our photography session that day.
Defining Freedom
Freedom is a concept that can mean different things to different people based on their life experiences and the philosophies they follow.

Photographing White Pelicans at 2400mm EFOV
This short article discusses photographing White Pelicans at 2400mm efov handheld at Eastport Drive in Hamilton Ontario. This was an unplanned opportunity as this species of bird is reasonably rare in this part of Canada. In fact, this is the first time I’ve even seen any White Pelicans in this area. All of the images featured in this article are illustrated as full frame captures, without any cropping done to the files.

Website Rebranding
This announcement article provides readers with some advanced information and details about our website rebranding which is currently underway. Back in July 2019 we rebranded our photography website to better reflect our transition to the M4/3 system, while also recognizing our past work with Nikon 1.
The rebranding to Small Sensor Photography has served us well over the past seven years and helped us build a strong, niche brand built around specific gear ownership within the photography community. Our website rebranding currently underway to Photographic Freedom, is another step in our creative journey, and will better position our work for the future.
