Hi Chris, so good to hear your enjoyment of the OM-1 camera. I have had my OM-1 for 2 years now and it gives me everything I need. It is an amazing camera and so versatile. Love your pictures. Hoping to make a trip to these waterfalls next year..even more so now having watched this video!
I’m lucky enough to be 30min away from that, so have photographed it in a few conditions. Spring, summer and autumn are much better options as the sky can blown out in winter and trees are sticks. But when I was there I saw another photographer who was in wellies. I realised wellies are the best thing for waterfall photography. Because you can wade around in the water to get a better shot and can walk across to the other side. 😂
3:19 Chris, I would have taken a series of images in landscape orientation and processed as a vertical pano for possibly a better composition without cropping off the waterfall on the right of your image? Just a thought. Really enjoying your channel. Keep up the down to earth approach and attitude, great work!
Hi Chris. Have really been enjoying your videos!. I’ve been on Olympus/OM System cameras for 10+ years. I’ve switched to other systems but have always switched back. Love they way you highlight the capabilities of the system. Cheers!
It may be just me but i found the final photos very dark with a really heavy vignette. Presumably this was your intention in processing but, again for me, it's too much. I have the same camera and find the computational processes really useful.
Enjoyed your video. Would love to be able to visit these falls. I agree i love my OM-1 paired with 12-100 and 100-400mm beibg in a wheelchiar its perfect combo done a few reviews on my channel and also some reviewd for nikon vsmera won a quite a few competition with it.
For a kit zoom to go on the OM1 MKII for video have a look at the Oly 12-50 as its weather sealed. Just checked its on Park, WEX and MPB used from around £140. The Lumix 12-60 is also "weather sealed:" and used around £50 more from the usual suspects and new on amazon for around £350 (not a black Friday deal). Haven't used either so can't vouch for the quality but with your photography style, weather sealed seems the way to go.
I think there is a video from Rob Trek I think he made a video about the ND filter with the OM-1 I think he found sometimes there can be artifacts but its very easy to fix in Lightroom or any other cloning tool. When he did some water photography there was these little white dots.
Great video. Could you explain what a stop is? I get confused when people say the exposure should be plus one stop or down a stop. It's especially confusing with exposure compensation. Thanks
A stop is doubling or halving the light your camera gathers. Or doubling or halving one of: aperture value, shutter speed or ISO. 1/100-1/200 is a stop, ISO100-ISO200 is a stop etc.
However if you take a photo in Hi Res mode you can use a slow shutter speed which will also (potentially)give a similar effect to the water. Worth experimenting with Chris. Might not be quite as smooth…but would be interesting to see the results in another video.
The missing photo… I’ve posted on a community post. Long day.

Stunning pictures, Chris.
You did a heck of a jab, my friend.
Wow thats a beautiful waterfall. I absolutely love my OM-1 for my waterfalls and long exposures. So happy I made the switch to OM!
It’s definitely more fun to use for this kind of thing than anything else I’ve owned.
Very enjoyable video Chris, stunning images too 👍

Hmm. All that moving water and stitching sounds iffy?
Brilliant work Chris, inspiring images, so a big thank you 🙏
Many thanks
Thanks!

As always great video, pictures, thank you Chris

OM 1 is amazing camera 👌
Hi, you mentioned the kit lens for filming, have look at the 12-50 ez Ed msc it's not expensive & good love the video's
Thanks I’ll check that one out.
Another good video what filters are you using.
Cheers
My filter kit is the K&F Square Pro system.

Maybe they were water splashes. I just reviewed my past waterfall ND shots and no white spots.
@Swaggerlot I haven’t seen anything either to be honest.
@@Swaggerlot Maybe OM SYSTEMS fixed the issue in a firmware update?
@ It might have been fixed in a firmware update?
@@bigrobotnewstoday1436 Not as far as I know or can recall in use
I hate how much I like this camera

1/100-1/200 is a stop, ISO100-ISO200 is a stop etc.
@ChrisBaitsonPhoto thanks.
Another great video, what L bracket are you using?
Can you do a super high resolution with the simulated ND filter with the OM-1?
No. You can't combine any of the computational modes, so if you want HiRes you can't have Live ND and visa versa.
However if you take a photo in Hi Res mode you can use a slow shutter speed which will also (potentially)give a similar effect to the water. Worth experimenting with Chris. Might not be quite as smooth…but would be interesting to see the results in another video.
Doesn't the OM-1 have an integrated ND filter?
I think it is fair to say it was worth that 100 mile drive.
👍👍
Niagara is a pretty impressive water fall..............
I’ve never been.
@@ChrisBaitsonPhoto You'd likely love it......
