Be Straight And Honest.
Ted has been working at Olympus since 2010, to be precise, and takes photos on the side. Professionally, at least that’s what he says on his website “Hire me!” It’s a bit silly that in a “making of” photo shoot on Independence Day, he not only shows slippers in camouflage and a […]
There is often the problem that “commercial photographers” are only allowed to take photos in some areas with a paid permit. In what are actually public parks, but which are the “private property” of a state institution. In Binz on the island of Rügen, they have now come up with a cool […]
Bei Excire gibt es jetzt eine abgespeckte Version gratis zum runterladen. Excire Foto Light. Die Software ist der 2022-Version ähnlich, hat aber eine paar entscheidende Einschränkungen: Wem das am Hintern vorbeigeht, für den ist die Software eine tolles Geschenk. Wer aber auch RAW-Dateien suchen will, der sollte sich überlegen, gleich eine Lizenzversion […]
After I had found Alicia Rey, I set about looking for other photographers at OMDS – after all, I had been spreading the rumor for a long time that nobody at OMDS except Nils and Michael knew how to operate a camera. And lo and behold, I found what I was looking […]
You’re doing some research and suddenly you come across a name in Spain: Alicia Rey. “Marketing Specialist” at OMDS. The number of marketing specialists at OMDS is considerable, but most of them are “coordinators” or “managers” or something else. Ms. Rey is simply a “specialist”. I don’t know why I kept reading. […]
I had already posted a few photos from the 9mm Panaleica. And as announced, I’m now only looking at the performance on an Oly. First of all, what comes out of the lens: And no, the painters in Rocksdorf didn’t have a few too many crates of beer. This is what comes […]
It just came in the Facebook feed of OMDS. Melanie Többe is an Ambassador. freelance photographer specializing in outdoor, lifestyle and adventure. She took a photography course in Australia during her studies in 2018 and loved it so much that she decided to become a photographer. If you want to see what […]
There was a comment under my last Uultra Wide Angle (UWA) article that drew my attention to the fact that Panasonic cameras treat lenses differently to Olympus cameras. I should test this. This is almost impossible to do freehand in the field, because even the slightest deviations in the light source can […]
In May 2023 I received two Patona Platinum from Patona. For the test. I tested the batteries here against two Olys. They didn’t quite match the performance of the one-year-old Olympus batteries, but the differences were more in the single-digit percentage range – something like 4%. Since then, I have used the […]
As soon as there’s a few minutes of real sun and snow and blue sky, I’m outside. I packed a bunch of borrowed ultra-wide angles and tried out what they deliver outside. The candidates were the 6mm Laowa, the 7.5mm Laowa, the 9mm Nisi and the 9mm Lumix. The Lumix stands out […]
I distribute my “e-books” as PDFs. Without copy protection. Without DRM or other stuff. I rely on the fairness of my customers. Many Franzis titles are already on the net via piracy platforms and if you write to them as an author saying that they are doing bad things, then it’s like […]
Two weeks ago on Saturday I was on stage again. The big band of the GSG Röthenbach an der Pegnitz, the HotSkills and the Räinbooch Allstars. (The drummer of the Allstars is something of a legend, having drummed for Tony Sheridan. The same guy who once recorded a record with a completely […]
