Santa Claus has been given a new name and face. and the name is ?...... Lee Hoy 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Happy Thanksgiving Lee. Lots of good ideas for the wife to get me for Christmas. Showing her the video next.

I did a workshop in Wyoming several years ago with Olympus ambassador and Pulitzer winner Jay Dickman, staying overnight in Jackson Hole. Beautiful place that I hope to see again someday.

Thanks very much. I’d got most of my settings right but some I needed to change.

Hi Lee. Even though I couldn’t see your images, I still feel like I learned a lot from this. Thank you so much for posting it. - Mick

Great packing ideas. Have a great trip!

Good packing list! Have a great trip!

Can you please share information on your RUclips channel about using lens coats or other types of lens protection, when shooting out in the elements, it is not a normal for me to be out taking pictures in weather is cold as -10 Celsius that is a warm day in the winter where I live a -30 Celsius day with no wind could actually feel warmer believe it or not, but if the wind whips up, I’m soon wanting to get back in the house or in the car.

I’m gonna be using my new lens out in a minimum of -10 Celsius with snow blowing around from time to time and lying on the ground with my camera and lens, do you recommend I use a lens coat? And what are the best companies that make these type of lens covers, or do you think they’re a waste of money?

Hey Lee, thanks for doing all these videos, there is so much to take from them, I just wish my memory would retain them all. That said having got to the point of updating my laptop I am looking at getting photo editing software (currently I have none). I have looked at DxO for years and LR etc. My questions are endless as my head spins with all the knowledge that I gain from watching and reading stuff on internet but I will try to limit them as I know you are extremely busy. Is it worth getting the entire PhotoLab 8 or just the PureRaw4 to work with LR? The buying outright option as opposed to subscription is more appealing but only if it is suitable. I have the OM1 mkii and am wanting to do photo stacking but as yet haven't taken the plunge for either Helicon or Zerene, do you use either of these? If so would that nudge me in one direction for getting LR or DXO PhotoLab? I have tried to remember if you have covered this in any of your videos but have failed, I am sure that you must have done, apologies. When doing photo stacking are you able to do a group of images in DxO PureRaw so the are all the same settings, or would you do that elsewhere before putting into stacking software? Once again sorry for the ramblings. I am sure that once I take the leap all will eventually fall into place but thought I would take a punt from a trusted source that might have a valued opinion. I have tried looking at the DxO site today but it must be offline as there is just a message about something coming soon. If you have gotten this far in this ramble, I thank you!!!!

I want to see OM systems bring out an all new OM-1X with a minimum resolution of 24 megapixels at all new image processor, I want the new camera to be slightly smaller and slightly lighter and also with very slightly bigger buttons and dials, then was on the E-M1X, OM systems should seriously consider bringing out an all new OM-1X to complement big white and the other super Tele photos lenses they make, before making such a camera they should make sure they introduced all new camera smaller for the street and travel photographer. Otherwise this camera will get lotta opposition from those who feel that OM systems has forgot about them, which I feel is a problem right now, I want to see such an all new OM-1X she use with bigger lenses and I’m sure there are other wildlife landscape photographers that want to see such a hammer brought out as well. Can you please do a survey on your website asking that question.

Great video thankyou. Im thinking of getting the 150-600 lens

PLEASE RESPOND - WHAT IS THE BEST UPSCALING AFTER THE CROP?

Thank you. I’ve watch this twice.

Thanks for your useful review. PureRaw 4 provides superb DNG files, and it was a nice bonus this month (November 2024) that DXO released version 4.6 which included the latest XD2s feature, which may also be found in Photolab 8. This was very decent of DXO, since they could easily have delayed XD2s until a future PureRaw 5 release.

Just ordered the om1mk2, getting one of my em1mk3 sensor modified for astro😊

i would love to see all the images you are showing here on another RUclips channel of yours, cant see the photos.

Thanks Lee for the great sharing,. I'm your avid follower from Malaysia. I wish the camera was at a better spot so I could admire those pic all during your presentation.

I am from Ohio,

Lee Great video lee. Love the concept of looking at an animal as an individual. They all have their individual personalities. That should be what you attempt to capture in your photo. As always looking forward to next Sunday. Great job.

I wasted an afternoon´s shooting because I had not disabled the shutter button focus while using BBF. Thanks for the solve. Also, I had not realised the depth of field is so shallow, even for subjects 20m away, the DOF is only 25cms. I was always shooting wide open to blur the background. Great tips, much appreciated.🙏

Great discussion. I was an active film photog in my 20s. I believe I was at the state you describe then. I'm 62 now, just retired and just ordered an OM-1 Mark II and a 150-400. I know the challenge ahead of me is huge but this video gets me pumped to get to that state again. Thank you for your frankness. PS I had to Google "chimping". 🐵

Newbie question. OM says the shutters are rated for 400,000 actuations. If you shoot that many photos in one trip how does that work?

Found your channel recently, love it Looking forward to learning more

My biggest issue is inexperience in editing

I find the shutter on the mark 2 to be very touch sensitive moving the RF system.

Another great video Lee. Very pleasing to hear your comments on the 12-100. Mine is just a week old and it is nice to know my research paid off and you have confirmed my choice. I am also really enjoying using it. Now I just need to figure how to do your masterclass! It would be another good decision.

I really missed out! Two great people who are experts at macro in a prime location! I have learned a lot from you and Chris. I like the tips you shared.

What? I never thought I’d hear you divert from the chimping rule….🤡 rule

Lee A great presentation. I'm starting to do some macro and enjoy it. Will be checking out your workshops for next year. Thanks again.

This was a phenomenal experience and I learned a ton! For anybody considering a trip like this, I highly recommend it. Thanks, Lee!

Hi, Regarding your issue with the OM-1 taking images when you lower the camera after a burst Ive shot Nikon for over 40 years and am very well experienced. Recently I switched to the Sony A1 with motor drive and had exactly the same issue as you which was completely random and very annoying. I even had the camera checked out by Sony and it came back without and issues discovered. After a few weeks the problem came back which was very frustrating and was very random. Again I thought it must be the camera but after a while I finally realised what was happening, when I lowered the camera after a burst the fleshy part of the palm of my hand was pressing against the shutter release button on the grip caused by the weight of the 600mm lens as it was lowerred . This never occurred on my Nikon's as the shutter button on the battery grip was well recessed, but on the Sony it wasn't. So I now always make sure the Grip shutter release switch is turned off. Problem solved, it may be worth looking at this on you OM-1 - Let me know of this helps.

You look healthy, Lee.. lost a few pounds 😀👍👍

Great video Lee and really wonderful images. Particularly loved the 12-100 pics. Have the 7-14 so maybe a look into the 12-100. Thanks

Thanks for the video. I have chosen to buy Photolab 8 rather than just Pure RAW 4 and I see the benefits you describe. Also - a tip: once your image has processed and you are back in the (silly) catalogue which DxO insists on, I do two things - I hit numeral 7 key to add yellow colour tag to the processed file; I then right click the file and select "Go to Folder in Library" which immediately takes you to the original folder of your images where the processed one stands out in yellow. This avoids trying to find the folder manually. Cheers

Your video is excellent at explaining the sh2 mode, thanks a lot.

Just saw this video, Lee. Frankly ... WELL SAID!! I've been photographing professiionally for 17 years and am a partner in a fine art gallery in the Texas Hill Country. I switched to Olympus in 2019 and follow you now regularly because you ARE honest and say it like it is -- and you know what you are talking about! Thanks for being you!

Hi Lee - another great and informative video - thx as always! 12-100 is a constant companion in my bag. Was wondering in the images you showed for this lens, particularly the river/mountain shots if you used a polarizer or not?

Zuiko 7-14mm is a very good super wide angle zoom and i have it too!

Hi Lee, new to your content and quickly becoming engrossed in all the knowledge you are passing on! With your c1 settings - what AF Area configuration do you find most useful as a default. Thx in advance!

Thanks, Lee. I've had the LC-1 for some time now and you are definitely right that it is a versatile light source, even for some night photography. I was unaware of the small rig and just ordered it through your link! Photographed out in your area a couple of weeks ago while you were out of the Country--Fort Davis has gotten hard to eat food in now that the drug store only serves breakfast for hotel guests!

Some great lights

I started photography on safari in South Africa 40 years ago and could not agree with your approach more. I have spent many hours with lion, leopard and cheetah and capturing their personalities to me is very important. Capturing a female leopard with her cub sharing intimate moments and you don’t have to have the whole body of each animal. Getting the catchlight in an elephant’s eye surrounded by that textured skin, photographing a red billed oxpecker cleaning ticks off the lip of a white rhino. I love looking for those special moments.

Thanks Lee Great information. I'm going to check these babies out.

Not gonna lie, all the smallrig light's swappable attachments alone make me want to get one.

Just a thought, would it be possible to avoid problems with car headlights by temporarily covering the lens (like the old world portrait photographers) until the headlights moved out of shot? It would probably need good anticipation.

Very informative video sir. However, you are a OM System ambassador. I understand you really can’t slam or talk ill of their products even though OM System may not be as good as the competitors when broken down into genre specific uses. I am a fan of Olympus mirrorless cameras, but in low light, the micro 4/3rd format is really substandard with any ISO over 6400 in low light. This is from my experience doing concept portrait photography. Now if OM System is only marketing the OM-1 II as a wildlife/bird photography camera only, then I would not be interested. However, can you advise on portrait uses for this camera? Thank you.

What are you thoughts on the 8mm f/1.8 fisheye pro for night sky photography?

Great video as ever. When I switched from FF I already had the Lee 150 filter system. When I got the 7-14, I bought the Lee adapter for this lens. I love using it with the 15 super stopper for seascapes etc.

Hi Lee. Since this video is a little dated, do you know if the 150-600 lens is compatible with sh2?
