A different Hoad shot

I've got hundreds of photos of the monument but thought this one is a bit different. This was taken with the Panasonic 100-400mm.

Olympus 60mm Macro and in camera focus stacking

I've just bought the Olympus 60mm F2.8 Macro lens so thought I'd try out the in-camera focus stacking feature on the Olympus OMD EM1 MKII.

Another very useful feature in the Olympus system, this image was 5 images taken at F2.8 and focus stacked in camera. The thing I like about the in-camera stacking is you can shoot at a wider aperture to keep the background bokeh but have more of the insect in focus. The 5 Raw files are also saved so you can stack them manually for better quality if you wish.
I know this fly image isn't perfect but there's a lot of settings to play with and I was quite happy with it for a first attempt.

Tridley Beach

It looks like I'll be able to re-start my Morecambe Bay project.
Anyone my age from Ulverston will know this scene. This beach used to be packed in the summer months, especially the summer of 1976.

Goldfinch in flight using Olympus Pro Capture mode

I was trying to find something different to photograph during lockdown, so thought I'd try some bird in flight shots using the Olympus Pro Capture mode. This was with the Olympus EM1 MKII and 40-150mm Pro lens.
I need more practice so it's definitely something to go back to in the winter when there's more birds using my feeders.
