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.
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.
This article features some images of a cormorant with chicks captured handheld along Eastport Drive in Hamilton Ontario. This was one of the stops I made during a photographic scouting mission last week.

The 5 Why Analysis has long been used as a technique to identify the root cause of a problem, most commonly when dealing with quality issues. Rather than making assumptions and jumping to conclusions, the 5 Why Analysis digs deeper into potential causes, often with facts, data and logic.
This short article features images of swallows at Irving Eco-Centre (La Dune de Bouctouche) located in Saint-Edouard-de-Kent, New Brunswick. These photographs were captured in early May during a trip my wife and I made out to the East Coast of Canada to visit family and friends.
Many of us have creative precursors that are early warning signs that something rattling around in our brains is getting close to emerging.
Yesterday I spent some time combining two macro technologies to see if they could be successfully used handheld in the field.
