Roberto Di Donato learning to be a better photographer.
I am an amateur photographer from the western suburbs of Sydney Australia. I started learning photography back in the 90's but didn't really go anywhere with it, but now in the last couple of years I have picked it up again and learning with the Olympus OMD EM10 Mark II.
This channel has tutorials on how the camera works and I go through the entire manual and make it easy to follow. I also go on photo walks with my dog Jerry and like to give tips and tricks along the way. But the main thing is to have fun with my photography and get out with my dog.
If you like photography and especially the micro four thirds world and you love dogs then subscribe. I try to make at least one video per week and its usually a fun day out with Jerry and my camera.
I have a website but there isn't much going on there. Its all happening here. Enjoy

The Olympus Mark II Cameras got it right
Olympus released three legendary sequels to their camera line up. The EM10, EM5 and EM1 Mark II versions. I never bothered upgrading because they pretty much have everything an enthusiast photographer needs.

How I got paid for my Super 8 Footage - Stock Photography Is Not Dead... Yet
Просмотров 23114 дней назад
Woolworths used my Super 8 footage for a 100 year Anniversary TV Ad. They originally wanted to use 5 clips but in the end bought only 3 clips and used 2 of them. The clips only play for about half a second. I had no idea what to charge so they said how about $300 per clip. Anyway. I really didn't care what they paid me. Having my mother in the Ad was so exciting. It was really special. She pass...

Street Photography and your state of mind. Parramatta Lanes Festival 2024

I was feeling pretty down when Jerry was in hospital, so I went out for some street photography around Parramatta Lanes festival. Got some good shots. Probably mostly luck but it made me think of how I approach it in future. I critique my photos at the end of the video to try and figure out what the hell is my style in this funny game we call photography... Say thanks with a Pupachino buymeacof...
My dog Jerry survived cancer...Twice
Просмотров 232Месяц назад
Jerry is now 13. I first was told a large tumor was growing in her small intestine 2 years ago. She was constantly throwing up and was losing weight. The tumor was cut out and she received chemotherapy. Two years later to the day she started getting diarrhea so I got her checked and the cancer had come back. This time it was at the other end of the small intestine near the colon. Our options wh...

A fighting chance for my dog Jerry with cancer. Let's cut it out
Просмотров 3022 месяца назад
CT scan showed nothing in Liver or Lymph node. The growth is in the small intestine near the colon, so I told them to cut it out. She has more than a good chance. Here are some nice photos of her at Parramatta Park with my EM10 Mark II and the Panasonic 25mm F/1.4... Jerry is popping off the screen... Literally.. she can't stop popping off.

8:45 great pic and editing! Hope yours and Jerry's Christmas is going well 🙂
Bit of creative composition.. lol . Thanks happy Xmas too 🐕
Marry Christmas and a happy New Year full of health for both.
Jerry's a funny guy. Witty, fashionable, a fabulous guy really. You're all right as well. Merry christmas, from the future. edit: girl! saw the video about her second round with cancer. She's a bada**, and all the best to her! <3
Lol.. thanks merry Xmas. Jerry loves the attention.. yes she is doing well. Taking each day at a time
Merry Christmas, Jerry & Roberto!
Just buy a second hand Fuji xpro 1 damn sight easier and leave your film camera whole but yes an exchange digital back for my Nikon fm2 would be a dream
@@kevincooper8666 yeah.i think they are making a newer version that goes inside the film camera. That would be better.. but it's still too expensive I think. Might as well buy a xpro 😆
Lovely stuff! Hugs for Jerry. 😊
Merry Christmas to you both!
any cheap cameras around AUD$300 ?
The em10 is around that price with a lens.
Just a happy good pup with her parents. I approve!
Merry Christmas to the photog and his bestie dog
Merry Christmas jerry and robbo
Ho Ho Ho!! Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you both seeya in 2025.
Merry Christmas to you both. Wish I was out that way for the warmth, macro shooting, and living it up. I need to win the lottery to jump hemispheres during seasons, lol. Have a house here and then one there, or New Zealand during winter
@@ericlundquist3466 somewhere in the middle where it's spring or autumn all year round 😆 too bloody hot hahah.
A fun to watch thank you 🧑🏼🎄
Thanks. A great all rounder and overlooked these days. No raw but fun camera anyway
Yes and very affordable now.
Yeah.its a good alternative to new and just as good for great street photography or more.
Merry Christmas Rob.
Thanks. Have a Merry Jerry Xmas 😆
Absolutely correct. The Mark II era was the high water mark for Olympus.
@@overhang88 yeah it was the cameras that made people rethink. The Om1 also was a leap through with the AI stuff.. not sure JPL had much to do with it as probably Olympus was working on it before they sold
Real happy you and Jerry can make good use of it! Hope you both have a merry Christmas 🎄
@@mmwalks thanks Marjorie... Got my inspiration back on the 2nd walk. It's been a rough few years but your heart and kindness keeps on going. You are so strong. Bless you.. a big big Jerry Xmas 😆 🐕
Merry Christmas to you and Jerry! I've got the EM1 mii and the EM 10 mii and I agree with everything you said about them👍
Jerry Xmas 😆. Yeah it still a good combo. Great street cameras. Good to hear you enjoy them too.
Greetings from Argentina. Started collecting older Olympus bodies here while waiting for something new. Merry Christmas to you and Jerry.
Ciao Argentina. Come sta 😆.. Jerry Xmas. Rumor has it the om5ii will be 25mp. I hope
Hi Rob , Happy Christmas to you and Jerry, so good to see her looking in good shape. I’ve had an EM10 mkii since 2019 and it’s a very good camera especially with the tilt screen. (It replaced a Lumix GX80). My first EM5 mkiii I bought in 2021 and frankly the “plastic” body has never bothered me it feels good on the hand. I found an EM5 mkii going at an amazing low price in a local store and bought it earlier this year. It is certainly a great camera and a good upgrade from the EM10 range. Recently I sold my EM5 mkiii and for only £100 more managed to replace it with an OM5 with a low shutter count. Couldn’t be happier, still playing with the features. I think I have finished with my buying/selling cameras for the foreseeable future. All the best to you and Jerry for 2025.
@@alangamble3236 yeah. I've never held an 5iii but a few comments say its good in the hand. Rumors are the om5ii has 25mp.. Jerry Xmas Alan. 😆
Oh and have a great Christmas and Happy New Year.
@@1957PLATO Jerry Xmas Pat. Some salsa dancing to end the year 😆
Agree that that the mark II Olympus camera’s are top notch. I could not care less about megapixels. Get close to your subject so you don’t need to crop (much). I wish they had an EM 5 type with a flip up screen, like my Lumix GX9
@@1957PLATO yeah. That's why I like that 45.. now I can bring both the 10 and 5..one each pocket 😆..
Yep, all about that small form factor and fun, though I do think OM System are in danger of falling behind the pack in terms of sensor and autofocus tech.
@@patternsinsand yes. Lots are saying that. Not keeping up. They could have had a Fuji killer with the PenF ii but I reckon the new company is still just riding the coattail of Olympus and it's nearing midnight
Merry Christmas to you and Jerry! I couldn't agree more Roberto, those Mark 2 upgrades covered almost everything that you would realistically need. Superb cameras and I am certainly in no rush to replace my EM10 just yet. I would point out that I had to buy my (used) EM5 mark 2 you lucky sod. But that was such a nice gesture. The OM5 mark 2 is rumoured to have a 25 megapixel sensor. Save your pennies.
@@leewilkins2649 yeah. I can see myself buying a new beast and wonder why my photos look the same. Olympus is good enough for me. Marjorie is such a beautiful person, so kind. Jerry Xmas.. thanks for hanging out with me all these years.. OG.. 😆
Im exactly one year later, but JERRY CHRISTMAS to u🎉
@@KaushikCWCFA haha.. that's what i say.. a happy Jerry Xmas 😁
I reckon a new inspiring task might be on the road with a prof photographer ....mmmm theres an idea ...now who ? Bob King ? 😄😝😄
Lol. Me and a thousand others..
Unfair 😀. You have summer and the sun is shining. Here in finland we have the shortest day of the year. In the northern hemisphere the duration of daylight is at its shortest. About 5 and a half hours. Merry christmas and new year. And above all good health to Jerry.
Much prettier in Finland. You would need a fast lens there to catch the reindeer... Haha.. merry Xmas and tell Santa to bring me the OM1 ii 😆
Right on target for everyday shooters like me. Merry Christmas Rob and Jerry!🎄
Merry Xmas. Yes it's the perfect camera for what we do. Jerry agrees too. 😆
Jerry!
Jerry bum bum strikes again.. 😆
As always great video mate, yeah absolutely great cameras! Merry Christmas to Jerry and yourself and it's great to see Jerry doing well 💪🎄
Merry Xmas Justine. Jerry is doing well.. she lets me know when a storm is coming ahead of time haha...good thing my cameras are water proof.
The zfc doesn’t feel anything remotely like the em5 mark3 or om5. I have both those cameras and the cheap feeling kept me from getting the zfc. To be honest I didn’t think they were plastic when I first got the em5 mark 3. But I’m glad the zfc felt cheap I ended up getting the zf instead.
I see. I had a go of the zfc but no store near me has the em 3 versions. Actually it's hard to find any older Olympus cameras on sale in stores these days. Prob buy the OM1ii it I ever get heavy into birding
Yet another great to watch video Jerry, oops, sorry, Rob, 😂No I really enjoyed it Rob and I'm so pleased to see Jerry enjoying herself out and about with you, although she wasn't impressed with the hat, 😂. A very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family and especially to the star of the show, Jerry.🎄
Haha.. I'm going to have to increase her treats as she keeps stealing the show. Yeah she loves the walks around town. Lots to sniff at. Merry Xmas.. bloody hot here again. So we mainly go out around dusk or dawn now
Hello, in the sync menu I do not have a switch symbol for the second curtain... what could be the reason? Greetings from Poland, Jarek
So glad to hear your perception of Vegas Pro is exactly like mine! I too started with Sony Vegas and just upgraded from 17 to 22. I've got a lot of catching up to do, but I am adapting not chasing DaVinci or Adobe!
@@BarryLindstrom it's improved a lot..still hangs a bit. Hard to pinpoint. I think when I go too fast with keys or a mouse?.. temperamental..I tried dacinci and it doesn't feel right. Vegas workflow better
I love that the photos were of Jerry
@@jacrify Jerry insisted I take her portrait haha.. I forgot about this. Been a while. My chemicala would have expired by now. Have to get back into film again
Hi Sir, how do you manage to get that fuji simulations on Olympus cameras ? Good video
@@tbones8554 this video I show how to change the jpg settings. Fast forward to half way ruclips.net/video/yT9sJfg67Qo/видео.html Also you can watch robtrek who originally made them ruclips.net/video/juQ1IkKIPKA/видео.html
My flash randomly stopped working with the trigger. So I have done this at least 20 times and it doesn’t work - when I connect the trigger to the camera and the flash to the trigger it works. Something wireless is not working.
@@DrawingLightPhotography did scan for frequency come back with a few different channels. Maybe try each one it said was best to use? Worth a try. Could be interference
I'm sorry, but wouldn't it be easier just to buy a digital camera? Seems janky to me.
If they could get the sensor inside it would be fun to reuse classic old cameras instead of film. For fun than practical
That was a very interesting video Roberto (again!). I shall keep my fingers crossed for your exciting business venture. From little acorns etc.
Probably a rare offer I think. Ergo the niche market for this type of footage. But I'm happy being the family historian lol 😆..
Agree. Very lucky to have these videos . They are so cool. Thats magic that ad. So special 😍
Jackpot Roberto.
@@aristoioannidis7490 yeah I was happy just that they used it too
this was an awesome video Rob, i still have my super 8 camera was my dads from the 70s when i was a teen, my sister has all the reels, mostly taken in Spain during the 70's.
@@ggwildlife that's awesome. Good on dad for thinking about film and photos. It adds another dimension to our memories. We got heaps of Italy too
Why'd you have the gold umbrella uplighting her? Why not a similar position like the shoot-through?
@@jasonbodden8816 mainly to experiment with different effects. Golden one gives more warm feel and color like sunset
Nostalgia never goes away and btw, you are the spitting image of your mum. That’s great, Roberto
@@1957PLATO she has more hair 😆.. yeah good to save the memories. Scanning is a pain though.. takes forever
Just came across your contents and you really have a amazing contents. Keep coming..!🥰🤩
@@FinanciallyFreeDeeTV thanks. Your welcome.
This is a good idea Jerry, do you know anybody that wants to buy iguana photos?🤣
Haha.. if they ever remake the 1960 classic The Lost World
That's great Rob, pictures are good but videos are super good. Now Im f@#kn emotional again....😐
Haha.. sorry about that. Same here... Where has all the time gone 😆

I found my dads olympus e500 (he passed quite some years ago) and although it had the 1.0 firmware i wanted to update it and im glad you guys had the file. It seems this is the only current place that has it THANK YOU.... cant wait to use this camera thanks to you guys !!!
@@EricSoules-d6q so cool to hand down the camera with two generations of photos and memories. It's a great camera. I got the file from some forum link, but it was hard to find, so I made it easier here 👍
