I had the opportunity to present an architectural presentation and lead a photo walk for The CameraMall and Olympus. The events took place at the store and the photo walk took place on the University of Michigan campus. We spent time looking at abstract architectural components. All of the images were shot with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and paired with the M.Zuiko ED 7-14mm f2.8 PRO lens. We had a partially overcast day, which lend itself perfectly to the in-camera Black & White Dramatic Tone mode.

I had the honer and pleasure to lead a photowalk at one of my favorite places in the Big Apple, the High Line. The photowalk was arranged by Bergen County Camera and sponsored by Olympus. The day was slightly overcast which, for me, means Black & White. All of the images were shot using the Olympus OM-D E-M1 MkII. A favorite style I like to employ on an overcast day is using “Dramatic Tone”. This is a mode option built into the camera (most of these shots used this mode).

I always enjoy photographing car shows and this weekend was no exception. I don’t pretend to know a lot about cars, but I do enjoy capturing their various graphic elements. My friend Dave and I had shot this event a couple of years ago and thought it would be fun to check it out again. Many of these images were straight out of the camera using using the Olympus OM-D E-M5 MkII “Dramatic Tone” filter. Most of these images were shot with one of my favorite lenses, the M.Zuiko ED 7-14mm f2.8 PRO.

As I noted in the previous post, I was in New York a few weeks ago for the Olympus Visionary Summit. In addition to the Brooklyn & Manhattan bridges, we also shot the One World Trade Center building (aka The Freedom Tower) the next day. Again, we had a lot of fog to deal with. Here are a few of the shots of the exterior of the building. All of the images were taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mk II. I used a combination of the Pro series lenses, including the 7-14mm f2.8, 12-40mm f2.8 and the 40-150mm f2.8. Many of the shots were straight out of the camera with the built-in “Dramatic Tone” filter (one of my favorites).

Last weekend I led a photo-walk for Milford Photo sponsored by Olympus at Yale University. We had a great turnout and great weather. I have never been to this location and I’m already looking forward to going back. During the photo-walk, I thought I would concentrate on various graphic elements of the buildings and work with the built in black & white filter “Dramatic Tone”. Most of these images are SOOC (straight out of the camera) with some minor lens perspective correction.
