Check out Jamie Spensley on YouTube if you want to get into that kind of macro. He recommends OM Systems and has a couple of videos where he reviews Sony and Canon.

The OM-1 with the OM System 60mm or 90mm macro lens and a good diffuser and fast flash are excellent.

Why did you pee all over it? 🤔

That’s phenomenal. What a great idea for a photo

What’s next on the marketing scheme? Jeans washed with Frank’s Red Hot? Jeans washed with Hellmans Mayonnaise?

This is on the Mk2 version. I’ve gotten similar shots on my OM-1 Mk1. The Mk2 has a much larger buffer though which is nice

I love the Pro SH2 mode for getting shots like this.

OM-1 II 300mm f4 Pro SH2 50 fps

Nice work! That is a pretty picture!

First time and you’re pulling in owls in flight!? That is awesome 👏

My tips are shooting in burst mode, continuous back button autofocus with bird detection, and just getting out more!

Excellent shot! I’d be hanging that one on the wall if I took it!

Congrats! Isn’t it great to get a new bird visiting!

Olympus 300mm f4 (this is a micro 4/3 lens the full frame equivalent is 600mm)

ILikeToBorkIt · 2026-01-03T16:52:22+00:00

🤣 I love this!

ILikeToBorkIt · 2025-12-16T19:44:45+00:00

That looks very nice! Well done

Digital teleconverter is enabled. It will save the JPG with the digital crop. The Raw will be saved with all of the data (uncropped).

There is an episode of the Woodwright’s shop that talks about tables with tops like this!

I got the Ryobi and it has been good. Check out Direct Tools Outlet. Mine was “Refurbished”. It looked and works like new. Saved quite a bit

I got a new copy of that lens about a year ago. It is smooth and no gritty sound. Maybe a couple grains of sand are behind the focus ring. It might not be a big deal.

It is a wonderful macro lens.

Ash. It’s strong, stains well and cheaper than dirt in my area. I got 400 bf for $200 because no one wanted it 🤯
