JPEG’s are often overlooked , but they have a place in the scheme of things. Inspirational images such as these you shared with us would make make an invaluable contribution to any photo book . Sure, Raw images give you more to play with , but it was the quality of the JPEG’s that most of us consider Shen we purchase out cameras and Olympus colours are among some of the best you can get . Thanks again Rob .
I got an EM5.2 2 months ago, and its always near me. Even thinking on buying a silver edition. I mean, its a full metal looker, and a great camera. Considering the EM1.2, as a backup :P
Rob ... I love your gently narrated short treks ... informative, artsy, simple .... Doug, Penf lover with Olympus 30mm macro ... I look forward to more short treks - thanks!
It is a magic combo and you inspired me to use my PEN F with the buil-in filters on jpeg more often. Thanks for the walk Rob and great pics by the way!
The 17mm f1.8 is a great lens for walkabout photography. I especially like it for street shots at night where the fast lens and superb IBIS combine to allow great hand held shots as slow as 2s or more and at 200 ISO. My only negative comment would be that it doesn’t seem to focus as close as eg either of the 2 “standard zooms” (12-40 PRO or 14-42 EZ) for close ups.
Another nice video from "The Hand Of Trek". : ) Keep talking in those videos so we see what you're thinking when taking these shots Rob. Using B&W filters is something I haven't done in a loooooooooooooong time so it was nice to see your results!!!
Thanks for this photowalk Rob! The Pen-F & the 17mm 1.8 lens is a perfect combo. I use this combo very often. The location and your photos are awesome, especially the one with the old bench and the red bush. Very interesting are the double exposure photos. A good inspiration for me because I never tried this. The Pen-F is(was) the most underrated camera in the market, unfortunately. The front dial functions are amazing for my photography. Thanks again for your great video Rob!
Great video all nice images. How is your horizon on your Pen f ? Mine has gone a bit off level. I got mine thanks to you. So have owned it about the time as yours. Can the Horizon be corrected in camera do you know. Thank you.
@@RobTrek Hi Rob thanks as always for coming back to me. I have been leveling horizon for some time as I thought it was me. On checking against Ocean horizon with the 75mm I think the sensor is on the tilt. Thanks for your response I know with all your shows time is tight so don't worry too much if I find a solution I will come back to you and explain. Thank you again.
Great compositions Rob with the 17mm. I am inspired as usual with your photo walks. In some instances I would love to see the colour version of your b&w shots, is there any possibility of posting both for a selection of shots from your next walk? As usual, great stuff and thanks a bunch.
Yeah, straite out i could see you were very very at home with that 17mm lens. Getting compositions were coming to you much easier. I enjoyed it also and gave me some more perspective as how i can use the lens. Will still be getting a 25mm also at some stage. Great video.
I have step rings that adapt different size filter ring sizes to different size filters. The 17mm has a 46mm filter ring size. My polarizer has a 49mm ring size. So I used a 46mm-49mm step ring to adapt that polarizer to my lens. I also had a 52mm metal lens hood. So I used a 49mm to 52mm step ring to adapt the lens hood to the filter.
@@RobTrek Thank you! I am looking for a polarizer and hood that won't cause vignetting. I've read complaints about not being able to access the c-pl with a standard hood.
@@AkaiMiso Yes, you have to be careful. Anything wider than 17mm will get vignetting. I have to take the hood off for 14mm or I make sure to frame my image inside the vignette and crop it out later.
Hey Rob. Great video again. I enjoy every one of them. I am going to get this lens and the 45 for the EM1 mk2. I wanted to ask you which lens would be the one lens travel solution for the EM1mk2? Something sharp and weather sealed like the latest Lumix 14 to 140 power OIS. I need that range from wide to telephoto. I need the quality to be good but don't want to spend money on PRO line of lenses as it is only for personal use. Does the Panny 14-140 Power OIS work well on EM1 MK2? Also, how is the focussing on the 17f1.8 indoors when lights are on? What's the Minimum focussing distance like? I mostly shoot pics of my toddler who walks right up to the camera when I try to take pics, so quick focusing and good MFD is important for me?
I would get the Oly 14-150mm over the Panny. Generally Oly lenses work better on Oly bodies. As for the 17mm, it's great for focusing indoors. Close focus distance is 0.25m.
They adapt different size filters to fit the lens. So if I buy a 52mm ring size polarizer filter and my lens ring size is 46mm, I will use "step" rings to adapt that filter to that lens. You usually buy a kit of 15 step rings for flexibility.
I always shoot SOOC jpg. Of course you get great photos with it. Olympus has very nice colour profiles and with Lumix i really appreciate the L.Monochrome. But what is so special about using jpg? Because it goes against the common youtuber doctrine that you should shoot RAW? There are even youtubers who wear jumpers with the slogan "I shoot RAW". How childish. What do they mean by that? Are you a better photographer because you can use an image editing programme? I don't wear a jumper that says "I shoot jpg".

Thanks, Carmen. I've been shooting all week jpg and really enjoying it.
New EM5 M2 and 75-300
Shooting Wood peckers in the Park with you settings ....Thanks for your great advice
there are the shots
Great camera/lens combo! Good luck.
I got an EM5.2 2 months ago, and its always near me. Even thinking on buying a silver edition. I mean, its a full metal looker, and a great camera. Considering the EM1.2, as a backup :P
Gorgeoooous compositions ! These gardens & woods are definitively a playground of choice for you ;)
Many thanks!
Absolutely stunning images! Thanks again for another great photo walk. I especially liked the double exposure, but everything is terrific!
Many thanks!
The Pen F is magnificent. I pair it with my vintage Pen F 42mm 1.2. The images are stunning.
Thanks. I'll check that lens out!
Cool, what's the 35mm equivalent of that?
Rob ... I love your gently narrated short treks ... informative, artsy, simple .... Doug, Penf lover with Olympus 30mm macro ... I look forward to more short treks - thanks!
Thanks! I put all the settings I used for these images on my instagram @robtreklens
Very nice black & white Pen-F compositions. Well done Rob!
Thank you!

My absolute favourite camera too Rob, I like my 17mm as well. The combination is great, I love it!. :)
Absolutely right, a perfect combo!👍
Like bread and butter!
good photos and presentations

Thanks, Andreas. Yeah, the front dial is great. Funny how it go so much flak in the beginning.
Nice location Rob. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks, Jeff.

Thanks!

Thanks. My horizon seems fine. You can adjust temporarily in-camera. I'll have to look into it as I've never done it before.

@@RobTrek thanks Rob. I will keep an eye open for them. Cheers, Terry
@Terry Noon I posted the few color images I took from the photo walk on my flickr today. www.flickr.com/photos/robtrek/?
Many thanks Rob.
Alot of good shots there Rob !
Thanks, Peter.
Another great walk, Rob. Splendid! Wait! The Pen F has a add on VF? I didn't recall that.
Thanks! The VF is built in.
I accidentally cut out the last image in the video. Here it is on Instagram: instagram.com/p/COE9EvNnFk3/?

SOOC , just learned that on Rob's forum.
I guess it's not used that often since many process their raw photos.
Nice vid, Frank from Wales
Thanks again, Frank!
Which one do you prefer and why,, ep5 or pen F?
Pen F by far!
@@RobTrek thank alot for very quick reply.
What are the step rings for?
They adapt different size filters to fit the lens. So if I buy a 52mm ring size polarizer filter and my lens ring size is 46mm, I will use "step" rings to adapt that filter to that lens. You usually buy a kit of 15 step rings for flexibility.
Ah thanks. I'm hoping to get a Pen F and will try your presets if I can manage! Great videos.

It's all about the journey. I love getting great jpgs. Olympus makes it easy.
