    Very good video and so informative, thanks. Like the images as well . Do you have a video using a 600mm (or similar) lens for insect photography?
    Please keep the videos coming. Cheers!

    awesome video Stewart it so good to have you out in the field, doing what i do, it so easy to relate. The lenses i use for my macro and close ups are the olympus 60mm macro and the Leica 100-400mm on my EM1 mkIII, awesome combo so sharp. but i will be adding at some point the Olympus 40-150mm 2.8 pro with 1.4 teleconverter.

    I really like your videos. I always manage to learn something new or get ideas for subjects. I was wondering what flash diffuser are you usng?

  • @klaustomasini
    @klaustomasini Год назад +1

    Well Stewart, I use 40-150mm f2.8 (sometimes incl. the teleconverter 1.4) and the 300mm f4 and set the camera to pro capture mode.
    During the night, they seek shelter from predators and cold temperatures as you know. Most dragonflies spend the night near the location where they are active during the day.

  • @eeviewonders
    @eeviewonders Год назад +5

    40-150mm 2.8 pro is a great lens and it works really well with the 1.4 teleconverter which at 150mm would equal around 420mm ish in full frame 👍

      There probably isn't a m43 camera that can justify its price, but the 150-400 has 0.71x (FF eq.) magnification when the built-in 1.25 TC is engaged.
      1000mm equivalent and almost 1:1 macro might be ideal for dragonflies

  • @kathleencolbourn7587
    @kathleencolbourn7587 Год назад +3

    Stewart, I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for your hard work. Regarding dragonflies: Where do dragonflies sleep? Dragonflies find sheltered spots to wait out the hours until morning. Since their mobility is reduced at night, they hide themselves as best they can under leaves, in shadows and in deep plant cover to minimize the risk of being eaten."

    We enjoy the videos Stewart. I have been shooting Olympus for years and absolutely agree that the Olympus 40-150mm (80-300) 2.8 pro with 1.4 teleconverter (up to 210mm (420) F4) is an incredible lens kit. I could not recommend it more. If you don't need that much reach, don't forget my favorite walk around lens, the Olympus 12-100mm (24-200) F4 Pro with built in lens stabilization. The lens IS works with the camera's IS. I think that I get 7 stops of IS when using my OM1 Mark3 and it has 1:3 macro capability. Both of these lens have been out for a while and you might find a good deal.

    Where’s your CygnusTech Raynox lens holder? It’s a ring that velcros to the side of the diffuser roof and your Raynox clips on to it…..

    I am new to the Olympus system, I am a Nikon shooter, but was looking to buy a lighter lens for Macro, then I saw your video where You got your Olympus and I got inspired. So I also did that, and boy, do I love that camerasetup? I got so exited that I went out to buy both the 40-150 2,8 Pro and the 100-400 5,0-6,3. And both telezooms are quite capable of macro, or should I say "close-up"?. But nothing beats the 40-150 2,8 for insects like butterflies and damselflies - It is so sharp I could'nt believe it when I first saw it. I use it with a close-up +2 filter that sits in one of those filterholders that you can fold down when it is not needed (cant remember what it is called in english) so I can set up the filter with a fingerswipe, and take it down again just as easy. I tell You, that combo is a beast. I do not come to close so I scare them, and I am close enough to fill the frame. Even the 100-400 is quite good at it, but not as sharp as the 40-150.

  • @alandimery3379
    @alandimery3379 Год назад

    Great video. For dragonflies in flight I use the OM-1 + 300mm Pro f4. It works really well. The 300mm is 1:2 macro with a close focus distance of just over a metre. The OM-1 bird af grabs the dragonfly very well.
    Of course with this you have to upgrade your camera as well.

    #1 is to turn off the back touch screen. For Olympus/OM System, 200 is the base ISO and best one to use for the best quality. I love my Olympus 100-400mm.

    Sitting in long grass here in Australia, is a little risky. It seems like there's always some animal wanting to attack you. But any bit if you're allergic can be bad.

    Great video as always!! I recently learned that pets should not go into natural lakes & ponds (in the US) as most get an ongoing dose of tick & flea preventing meds that can harm the fish, frogs, turtles, dragonflies, damselflies, etc. Makes sense.

    I like this relaxed unscripted video. I also can't help but sympathize with your issue of dog walkers (and may I add bicycle riders too). And mentioning Micael Widell's MacBook story just illustrates the youtubers fraternity and reminds me no less than John Lennon's immortal words:
    "Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A *brotherhood* of man"
    Thanks Stewart. You are truly an inspiration to me

    Sorry spamming your comments but re: dflies in flight. 300mm f4 is prob the best for the om system but I’ve had as good shots with Olympus 100-400mm. Obviously the 150-400 will do it too but you need to sell a kidney for that lens.
