In this hands-on review, I show real-world performance, share sample images, and walk you through the specs and features that make this lens a serious contender for wildlife, landscape, and travel photographers alike.

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
