OM-5 In the Dolomites & My Impressions

By Frank T. Smith Closed

In this video, I will share my thoughts and impressions on the new OM-5 camera from OM System. I will share my experiences along with images from this camera and some of the associated specifications. I will also highlight some of the computational features I use. The imagery shown in this video is a small sampling of approximately 10 days in the Italian Dolomites. All of the images were shot using this camera.

The lenses I used with the OM-5 are the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm F4.0 PRO, M.Zuiko ED 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO and M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm F4.0 PRO.

PBS39 & TEDxLehighRiver asked me to do a follow up to my previous TEDx talk. This is the write for the event: “Lehigh Valley photographer Frank Smith, who gave a TEDxLehighRiver talk in 2013 called “Looking Through the Lens: Vocation vs Avocation,” will discuss how he found alternative paths to get satisfaction from his work when the pandemic prevented him from exploring the world. His choices offer lessons for all of us.”

I hope you can Join me!
