In this video, I explore four powerful techniques to overcome challenging light conditions at Dingmans Falls in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Using my OM System OM-1 Mark II, I test each approach to handle dynamic light shifts and bring out the stunning beauty of the falls. First, I demonstrate how the camera’s 14-bit High Resolution mode enhances dynamic range. Next, I look at automated exposure bracketing for HDR, followed by a look at the camera’s innovative internal Live Graduated Neutral Density feature. Finally, I mention using external filters, though I opted to travel lighter for this shoot. Watch to see how each method compares and how they can help you capture breathtaking scenes in difficult lighting conditions.
Watch this video to enjoy the beauty of Dingmans Falls and its mesmerizing water features! Here is the video link: https://youtu.be/U8YhlGN42y8

Join me as I journey to the beautiful Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to put my OM System OM-1 MkII’s innovative Live GND feature to the test. When faced with a scene that has a large dynamic range of light, photographers typically rely on graduated neutral density filters or capture a series of exposure bracketed shots for blending in post-processing. But what if your camera could handle it all internally? In this video, I’ll explore whether the OM-D MkII’s internal Live GND filter can effectively replace traditional methods. Will this computational photography feature allow us to travel lighter and simplify our workflow? Watch as I capture some amazing landscapes and reveal if this feature is a game-changer for photographers.
