Your landscape shots are sweet and delicious…a box of chocolate indeed! Your architectural photos are inspiring as well. Thank you so much for educating us on proper metering techniques and composition. You are a worthy ambassador for OM.
Love this video, finally a review with pictures versus a talking head in a studio. This was exactly what we wanted to see before purchasing this camera. Well done
I totally agree! I have never understood the fascination of watching someone wittering away to a camera about photography, but no pictures! Perhaps it is because I do not possess their glamorous good looks! I prefer to remain an 'enigma'! Overestimating my credentials, I did consider becoming a 'wannabe presenter', but found the queue too long.
I realize all of our pictures are subjective to our own taste, feel, desire and, for that best outcome...however, rewatching this video, the picture shown at 2:21 would have been my choice. And that is the one prior to post processing. This does not deter at all from your choice, Derek. I can see why you chose to elevate the way you did ( or at least I think, I do} the Kelvin to 6000. However, playing with the original back and forth, there is a "morning moodiness" in your straight out of camera shot that draws me in to that evaporation fog lifting over the boats. I appreciate your well experienced eye for the details not to mention your settings that you chose! BTW, I have found your 0.3 EV a wonderful setting for most of my landscape shots! Looking forward to October's Derek fest of videos and, for the many areas of in which to glean on! Stay safe, stay healthy!!
I did that programme a long time ago and it was interesting to see how I tackled the matter of post-production then. I think that I would still prefer the final outcome if only for commercial reasons but thankfully with the benefit of working from a RAW file, it enables me to change my mind more easily or indeed supply a post-production image to the requirements of a client. Good to see that -0.3EV works and that you are looking forward to my October videos, the first of course tomorrow.
I am pleased that you have discovered my TH-cam channel. I have many more programmes, best accessed from my website www.derekforss.com. Best wishes and thanks.
I am pleased that you like my programme. It was quite an early video and I have done many more since. In case you haven't seen it, here is a link to my TH-cam Homepage. th-cam.com/users/DerekForss
Great Video Mr. Derek. I saw that one of the pics was taken at F16. I once used to have an Em10 MK2 with a 25mm F1.8 lens. That lens was quite soft at those apertures. Are the pro lenses sharper at those apertures? I am looking to buy the Em1 Mk2 soon. Your feedback is appreciated.
I am not sure that I am the right person to answer technical questions, I am more of an arty type. However, I am aware that small apertures can cause loss of image quality but on the occasions I have had to use them, I am not that aware of any obvious degradation of image. I try to keep my working apertures at f 8 or 11 at 200iso. I have used the f1.2 prime lenses and found them excellent. I am sorry that I cannot help you any more than this, except to say that I think the E-M1mkii camera is superb.
@@DerekForss Thanks Mr. Derek for taking the time to answer my question. I am going to visit the Ely cathedral this month. I hope to take some good pics. I am only 6 months into using a dedicated camera. I realised I like my pics to be in sharp focus from the front to back. Hence the question. Guess I need to work a lot on my technique. Your videos help a lot Thanks. 🙏
The people who enjoy your photography are "non-photographers", in other words the ignorant. Just like people who laugh at Picasso or Pollock and prefer paintings of kittens because they can 'recognise' and 'understand' what they are looking at. People who would find the photographs of Fay Godwin or Robert Adams depressing or boring but like the over processed, chocolate box kitsch that passes as landscape photography. Well done Derek, take the Olympus shilling. We all have to make a buck and leave our self-respect at home.
What a load of pompous nonsense. Generalising in this manner simply shows how ignorant and uneducated you are when it comes to people's perspectives and expectations. Your obvious jealousy shines brightly through the haze of your lack of knowledge, and obviously , talent. Anyone who perceives non-photographers as being "ignorant" needs to take a long hard look in the mirror. Please , let us all see what kind of photography and video you can produce, or would that be too challenging for you. I imagine it would. If you don't like this style of photography, why are you watching this video in the first place. Typical, bullied as a child and mummy's boy comments. Get over yourself.
What a wonderful teacher. Teaching by inspirational photos and meditating music. 🙂
Wow, thank you!

These images are breathtaking. What the h??l are you talking about.
Love to see your work, I'd bet it's not even close to this mans efforts.
Beautiful photographs - from a photographer of 60 yrs! What an intelligent photographic site - full of inspiring and informative advice.
