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

Street Photography and your state of mind
Просмотров 19214 часов назад
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 210День 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...

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.

OLD Cameras Still Crushing It in 2024 - Here's Why!
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.Месяц назад
Here are two cameras from the past 10 years that professionals could still use today. Image quality is just as good as when they first came out. I test out my Micro Four Thirds Olympus EM1 Mark II with the twin kit lenses and the Canon 5D Mark II. Both professional cameras in their day and still going strong. Take advantage of the huge reduction in prices of these once professional cameras. OK....
Ford Mustangs: Leica 25mm F/1.4 & OM 50mm F/1.4 Retro Photography
Просмотров 3722 месяца назад
I took both my F/1.4 Lenses out this weekend. The Panasonic Leica 25mm and the adapted Olympus OM 50mm F/1.4 - Not that I needed the extra light but the shallow DOF was great to focus in on certain aspects of the cars or just to get a cool full frame look to the photo. Just like the older Mustangs from the 1960's, my favourite would have to be the OM 50mm Retro classic that I adapted onto my Ol...

Love these photos 👏👏👏
Great shots. Personally I hate tripods but this one seems quite handy.
Glad to see you and Jerry back. Thank's for this funny video.
Always good to see you and Roberto.
We've got Japanese knotweed over here, I prefer the look of the Asahi that you've got! Good review Roberto, coupled with some very good birds-in-flight pictures. You still tease me with that zoom lens.
Great to see you and Jerry. Thanks for the shout-out!
@@RobTrek thanks Rob for recommendation. I rarely use tripods but this one is very friendly in the field
hello jerry & Roberto great to see you both, i have same tripod, top notch, great bit of kit 🐕😀🥰
Super Jerry & Roberto
Roberto .. Super light weight at 15 KILOS?
@@markphillips7449 I work out.. lol.. light enough. For the price it's pretty good
Jerry fan club.
Good and cheap, right up my alley...😜👍
Excellent
Finally! Thanks. Done within the first 2mins of this video.
@@marioscicluna6057 cool. Yeah I like the how to vids to get to the point too 😆 thanks for the comment appreciate it.
Hi Roberto, I absolutely love the photo with the dog looking behind the man's back. If anything I think that is your style. You have great eye for detail. Probably any other person would have taken a photo of the man and ignored the dog. This is not something I come up with now. I have seen it in your photos already for a very long time.
@@Bigfarmer8 thanks 👍 yeah I see it too in a lot of my photos. Also I seem to zoom in on people's candid faces a lot lol 😆 it's good to get insight. Mind you I just took 1000 photos of bin chickens haha.. next video
So glad Jerry is over her operation and on the mend, eating and going for walks, that's got to be a positive thing. Wishing her the best health ❤️ Being a dog owner myself, my Bishon Frise Max is 12.😊 I could feel your pain in the day 1 clip where she wasn't so well, I think I had something in my eye...😢
@@pdtech4524 thanks. Yeah it's so hard when they get deep into our hearts but she's better for now. Gotta take it day by day and live life to the fullest. Lol.. good boy Max.. Jerry says hello 👋
Great video and photos, Roberto. Good to hear Jerry is OK. A personal style takes time. It took me years and many, many photos to reach a point where I feel it's coming together. Hope it goes quicker for you... :-)) Best Siegfried.
Thanks Sig. That's great compliment from you. I feel I gravitate to people's faces a lot but then I experiment a lot.. it's all fun anyway. Jerry happy now. All good 👍
Some outstanding shots there, Roberto. Finding a style and consistency is the hardest thing.
Thanks pat. Getting there is the best part. Being consistent is the tricky bit. Some days I'm all over the place. One good shot is enough to keep me happy
Not all heroes wear a cape. You are my savior for this one. i almost throw this trigger out of frustration. New subscriber from Philippines. Hope you are doing well.
@@jojo-gs4wg haha. Thanks Jojo. That was funny. My pleasure. I was frustrated too and kept forgetting how to do it so I made a quick video. Happy flashing. Thanks for the sub 😆
Well done with the courageous photos Rob, really paid off your best yet. Good to see you guys up and about. Hey it's funny how you piss off flies......🤣👌
Thanks. I think I like people's faces more and more.. candid shots.. haha.. now flies.. I don't like.. bloody swarms in Australia it can drive a man and his dog crazy 😆
These are really cool shots 😎...wow Jerry looks amazing 👏
@@Gioia67 thanks. Getting better slowly. Jerry is getting tired now so short walks and lazy weekends around town is the way forward.
@@robdido 💯
Your street photos are better every year. Excellent set of images. Jerry is looking well. Keep doing your thing in framing and choice of subjects, lighting, and focus depth, don't have any concern of what your style is or should be, as you will double think everything. Just line-up quickly, see things as you do, and snap. There will naturally be some style develop, or perhaps several depending on the mood that day. Let Jerry take care of the birds and squirrels, and you the photographing. Take care, Loren
@@lorenschwiderski thanks Loren. Viewing others like yourself is good too to get inspiration. Your right there, style is pretty much subjective and thinking to much can hinder. I'd rather just feel the moment. Lol.. Jerry can be a magnet sometimes in the streets to setup the shot.. it she's concentrating and not chasing pigeons lol 😆
Always great to see you and Roberto.
@@Enrique-the-photographer thanks Enrique. He always worries to much... I'm fine 😆
@@robdido 👍
16:49 Gerry's looking great among the Jacaranda.
@@patternsinsand she's blooming.. Gerry too 😆
Hi Roberto. My 12 yr old son and I hang out for your videos. Keep them coming. We are so glad to see Jerry out again, she is a beautiful girl. J
@@JB-rk9mx cool. Jerry is a great teacher. Good to see your son learning photography from Jerry haha.. made my day knowing Jerry putting a smile on your son. Bless 🙏
That is a nice and varied portfolio Roberto, well done. All in one day too! Of your 'critiqued' pictures, I definitely liked the second of the bunch with the purple tree and the passer-by in front of the church. An honourable mention also for the out-of-focus musician, and Jerry in front of the purple tree. But most of all, how nice to see Jerry out and enjoying herself. Try the black and white dramatic tone art filter. It doesn't suit everything but it can look, well, dramatic.
@@leewilkins2649 👍 thanks. Can't go wrong with November colors. Funny when you don't try so hard you get the better shots. Yeah I saw the bw crunchy art filter.. might apply it to that bearded guy. I know people don't take those art filters too seriously but I think they have their place.. for us arty farty folk 😆
WOW - some really OUTSTANDING street stuff there Roberto! You really capture the essence of the street!! GO JERRY!!!
@@markstoker3077 thanks 👍 yeah I thought some good candid moments. I guess it's leaning towards a certain style. Candid street faces ?.. haha.. on day ill figure it out
great video mate i wish you Jerry the very very best both stay strong. what is the world coming to when people sit down and watch people prancing around with supermarket trollys oh my i'm literally lost for words.
@@ggwildlife haha . I think they got the idea from that Aldi TV Ad.. I kept back just in case one of those trollys went flying 😆.. thanks. Good to be back photographing.. took my 400 out birding today.. Jerry scared them off 😆
Thanks for the video Rob, great to see Jerry looking well and happy on her walks. Also some wise words. Keep well both.
@@richardtreherne4306 thanks... Should have put the song I still haven't found what I'm looking for.. 😆
Really enjoyed this video, thanks. Some great images as well. Good to see you both looking much better and Jerry enjoying her walks again.
@@andrewilkinson yeah. It's good to get back on the walks and taking photos again. 😆
Seriously good photos in this one, it's hard to pick a favourite. The angry kid is very memorable, so maybe it's that one. ☹ 😆
@@naturedo2 thanks. Yeah I think I'm improving slowly. Sometimes I look back and can see I'm getting better. I love those candid shots of faces. I might have inadvertently discovered my style 😆
Hi Rob great to hang out again! Entertaining video with excellent photos, as always! Cheers Rik
@@rikardpersson9493 cheers Rik. I'm trying to find my niche. But just getting out is good enough. Healthy for both of us
Jerry is the star of the show. GIVE him some ice cream...
@@jenniferpryor7521 haha.. if only she loved peach cups instead.. 😆
This guy's a Classic ❤❤❤
HaHa❤ watch out microwaves blow UP...Not good for YOU.
Thanks for the video. I was using Vegas 18 too, and it did crash quite a bit. So far, Vegas Pro 22 has been very stable.
Yeah. Im not using much of the new stuff but the stability was all I was after and it doesn't crash. The titler express thing I had from v.18 works but it can crash. So I now do all my titles at the end just before I render.
This didnt work for me. I dont know what im doing wrong
Nvm I got it
It's not working again. I have no idea wtf I'm doing wrong. I got it to work and then it stopped working, it's driving me crazy
Lol. I feel your pain. Something interfering?.. try reset camera maybe. Sorry I can't help more 😢
you are a good man.
@@jyemichael anything for Jerry 😆
yay jerry!!! the star of the show! I'm so happy for you bro. thank goodness.
Thanks 👍 so much. Jerry itching to take more photowalks. Doctors did great. Hope to keep it all at bay now. I'm confident 😌
Nice to see you both up and about.
@@bobfinlay7417 thanks Bob. Hope to get back out there for some fun photo walks soon 😁
When you get those slow missed shots,just go into settings and do a reset and start from scratch. Fixes it all. Canon series are still in my opinion the easiest to navigate.
Thanks so much. It works. Good old thing still holds up today. Yeah I like the simple menus. Modern cameras should take a leaf and go back to the basics all you need
Fabulous news Roberto 😊 she is such a fighter, well done Jerry you've got this. You look after her so well Rob,
Thanks Richard. Yeah tough on her but she is doing well now. Like nothing happened haha.. got to give her my all. She gives so much love 😆
She is a strong girldog. The best wishes for the future.😘
Thanks so much. Small walks now but lots of photos haha.. appreciate the love 😊
Thanks for the video. Looks like a nice day out. Cool photos.
Wanda is a beauty spot.. glad you enjoyed the photos. Great beach for dogs
Aww it's been tough for sure, but she's looking good now. I'm sure her appetite will return bit by bit. Happy belated birthday Jerry! Keep strong both! ❤

Poor girl. Im glad she's recovering. . You're an awesome friend in her adventure to life.
