Testing out the Olympus TG-3 in macro mode this morning. This thing is absolutely amazing.
Last weekend I traveled to place called Carousel Lavender Farm. During the course of the shoot, you couldn’t help but be hypnotized by the aroma and the sights. For the macro shots, I used the Olympus micro fourthirds 60mm f2.8 lens. It is a brilliant piece of equipment. All images were taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1.
Yesterday I took my usual Saturday morning hike down in the Lehigh Parkway and was greeted with the first dose of spring. Finally! I also had the opportunity to enjoy my new Olympus OM-D E-M10 with the ultra compact electric wide zoom M.Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 lens. I can tell you this mini combo is quite the powerhouse. It was as easy to use as it was to carry.
I concluded an exhibit at the historic State Theatre in Easton, PA at the beginning of the year. I was fortunate to display in both galleries. Several people who were not able to attend have asked me to share some of the images from the exhibit. The first grouping is a sampling of the images from the “Near” portion of the exhibit in the one gallery. This exhibit consisted of 20 images I have taken over the course of 6 years from my Saturday morning walks in the Lehigh Parkway with my canine companion, Bo. All of the images displayed were taken within an approximate two mile radius. One of the points I wanted to make was that you do not need to travel far to photograph and that there can be extreme diversity within a small area. The following is a small sampling of some of the images displayed. Within the next day or two I will share the “Far” images.
