  • Olympus 100 Years  – 100 Facts

    Olympus 100 Years – 100 Facts

    Olympus was founded in 12.10.1919. I wanted to learn more about Olympus and read quite a lot about the company. I picked 100 interesting facts about Olympus to celebrate the 100 years old company. I wanted to share the facts with you and those facts are in the linked video.

    Below the video, there are links to the resources I looked at when researching the facts.

  • High Dynamic Range Photography – HDR explained

    High Dynamic Range Photography – HDR explained

    Sometimes the scene has so big contrast that it is impossible for a camera to record all the details in highlight and shadow in ion photograph. The dynamic range of the scene is too much for the camera.

    There are several ways to over come this problem. In the video below I go through a few ways to handle high dynamic range scenes.

    HDR photography is one of them and in the video it gets most attention.

    Olympus 60mm F2.8 Macro – a GREAT MFT macro lens

    Macro photography is an exciting genre. It can open up a whole new world. It is very fascinating to see things that are hard to see with the naked eye. Olympus has a very good lens for macro photography, Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f2.8 macro.

    Olympus also has another macro lens, the M.Zuiko 30mm f3.5 lens. I have made a video about that lens in December 2018.
