This is a continuation of the the post I did the other day (post 1 of 3). As in the other post all of these images were shot with the Olympus M.Zuiko 300mm f4.0 PRO (600mm full frame equivalent) and the OM-D E-M1 & OM-D E-M5 MkII.
A few months ago I traveled to the jungles of Panama & Costa Rica with the primary intent of trying out the new Olympus M.Zuiko 300mm f4.0 PRO lens (equivalent to 600mm full frame). I decided to break the trip into 3 posts. The first one being Fauna, the second one will be Flora and the last one will be Patterns. 80% of the images were shot with the OM-D E-M1 and the remaining ones were shot with the OM-D E-M5 MkII. The ISO’s averaged between 1,000 and 5,000. I was not disappointed with the results, however, I’ll let you be the judge.
I’m fortunate to live in an area that has diversity as it relates to contemporary & historic structures. However, I find myself drawn more to the historic structures. These two images were taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the M.Zuiko ED 300mm f4.0 IS PRO lens. This lens has a full frame 600mm equivalent which is great for creating compression in the image. Which was what I was trying accomplish with these images.
This covered bridge is know as Bogert’s Bridge. It was built in 1841-42. It takes its name from the Bogert family. Peter Bogert purchased the land on which the bridge is located in 1744 as part of his farm. Its most distinctive feature is two long arch trusses resting on abutments at either end. Of which, was my focus for the following images.
