Hi Rob, always enjoy your photo walks. I appreciate the sharing of your thought process in the composition. You are a very good photographer; great shots. Excellent suggestion for motion blur by using high-resolution. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I was going to try motion blur in high resolution mode! I did once but it was not a good subject. I might also lead to clues as to how high res actually takes the shots.
I've also considered what unusual and interesting effects you might get bt using focus stacking on moving subjects. Focus atacking does weird things to bokeh balls of thete are point light sources in the distance. It might make some cool eggects if something is moving through the frame. I did notice that occasionally the camera can't stack the images successfully if things get too weird!
YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT ROB TREK!!! You keep saying you're not a great photographer, yet this photo walk disproves that with a bullet!!! This was a KILLER photowalk Rob!!! Do continue these!!! The B&W at 11:31 was just awesome and that simple little shot at 16:16 are better than anything I would have seen in that scenery!!! Really.... good stuff Rob.
8:15 Great idea Rob. I really like these videos. That is going to work with focus bracketing also! All those images look nearly the same and even using focus stacking in camera, that slightly cropped image is still tricky to find among all the other pictures.
Thanks Rob! I LOVE the 75mm. Also use it on the E-M5 III with a grip to balance the weight. Was on the fence getting this lens for a while because it's expensive but found a good copy used and now it's one of my favs. Gotten some good portraits and turns out I really enjoy tele landscapes, often wide open to get that dreamy out of focus look and make the subject pop. What a brilliant lens -- quality is superb, and 150mm equiv in such a small package means it doesn't get left behind as a huge equivalent FF lens often would.
I agree. It's quite a gem of a lens. I got one discounted recently. I wouldn't have afforded it new originally but there are some lower lens prices sometimes even on new ones as of 2022.
The 75mm f/1.8 is a good illustration of why the micro four thirds system was a really good idea and why it's so practical, lightweight and usable. I wish they'd make a longer prime like 135mm or 150mm that's a lot lighter than the big 40-150mm f2.8 zoom! Even an f/2.5 or f/2.8 would be cool.
Another fabulous photo walk! Rob, your video as are incredibly well produced, informative and fun . They’re great to watch and I’m learning a lot about the entire process of finding and photographing natural subjects. I really appreciate the work you’re putting into sharing your skills. Fantastic!
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown xD
I love the lens the focal length is only thing that has to be managed everything else from the lens is gifted to me and I need all the help I can get. It will be interesting when you swop out the lens for another focal length, whether or not you miss the 75 when you look around. For me the 75mm and 12mm gift photos but both lenses don't stay on the camera long as you have to be active and work to the focal length which is fun but if something pops up out of that range you have to get busier. I liked yourCanada Geese images last time. As always a great video thank you.
Hi Rob, you know that I’m not an Olympus shooter, but I always watch your photo-walk videos, they're well done, entertaining and you make me want to go out and photograph something. Stay safe.
Hi Rob, I appreciate your sharing video, I have watched your video all time. I talked with David Crook and I know you are in the area I live. We can meet some time in the future. Thanks
That camera looks well thumbed buddy 😊 If I forget my mask I just whip of my underpants and wrap them round my head, works a treat as long as I have changed them in the last few days. Great vid, thanks Rob.
Very enjoyable photowalk, Rob and you proved great shots can be taken with a 75 mm in surroundings where most people would use a much wider angle lens.
Hi Rob, I see you were using a nodal slide, imho these are often overlooked when people want to take panoramic shots. They really help to produce a more realistic result when they are used correctly. Also makes really good use of the longer focal range lenses as you get can the wide image and great resolution at the same time. Have you done a video on the nodal slide?
5:05 That slight fringing in the waterfall on the high res shots is like a girl's crimped hairstyle. I notice that the electronic simulated shutter doesn't seem to go completely on and off between the exposures. It would be interesting to know how it actually works.
Wow, what a fantastic location, i guess knowing what EV to use comes with experience Rob, this novice would bracket, usually in 0.3EV step,s, say 5 shot,s then correct the best in post.(still learning), thank you Rob.
Thanks, Steve. It won't take you long to develop an eye for exposure comp. You can start by watching the histogram or highlight/shadow blinkies. After a while you'll get a feel for it.
Also, really enjoy the photo walk format (I've also watched all your technical menu deep dives when I first got the E-M5 III). It's really cool how you film the scene and explain how you found the shot and processed it. It's really cool too how you have another camera getting a side angle of you, but it seems tricky to film the menu that way outdoors/handheld. I've been wondering about using an external recorder like the Ninja V to capture the menu / camera OSD, as I frame the shot and take a picture. What do you think about that?
Thanks. It's very awkward to have a Ninja while trying to frame the shot. It also disables some of the features. I did it for one of my flower videos. th-cam.com/video/KkoGi4GeLWI/w-d-xo.html You really need to have a cage and tripod.
I live a few miles upstream from there. The parks along the Potomac in both VA and MD are a dream. I have bicycled along paths from my backyard to Great Falls. However, the downside is that driving in the area is a nightmare.
@@RobTrek Have you tried Scott's Run trail? There's a smaller but beautiful waterfall near where the run meets the Potomac. Sorry if you already have a video from there that I missed.
@@GB-ez6ge Haven't been to Scott's Run in years! I have a shot of that waterfall when I used to shoot with Nikon. Yeah, traffic is a B. You should join me on some photowalks with the local photo club I belong to. www.meetup.com/Virginia-Beltway-Photography-Meetup/
Hey Rob, so for the high res mode you can't go over f8? You showed how to use that trick to smooth out the water in a previous video waaaay long ago, but you weren't sure if it was the lens that was keeping you from going over f8 :) Great vid, keep on Trekin'
Thanks. It's weird. My E-M5 II, PenF, & E-M1 II can't go over f/8. My E-M5 III, E-M1 III can go all the way to f/22. Doesn't seem to be lens dependent as I tried them all with my kit 14-42mm and 75mm.
@@RobTrek Is there any dependence on what the shutter speed is going to be or is the aperture always limited to f/8 on those older cameras? Just tried my EM5iii in Manual mode on high res shot mode and it will allow me to select any aperture from f/1.8 to f/ 22 and any shutter speed from 60" to 1/8000"!
Is your lens hood screw-in? I don't like the standard Olympus hood with its thumbscrew which can damage the front of the lens body. I also saw a hood which has a front screw thread to allow filters to be fitted, but I can't find it again. Can you help please?
Haha! Weird indeed. Focusing on the trees is really not necessary with wide angle lenses since the DOF is usually depp enough but with the 75mm it's a problem.
Have little doubt this is another excellent lens. + usual top review from Rob👍 I tend to shoot more wider angles and the 75mm with x 2 cropping factor would be just a little too tight for me. If want to shoot close ups, mainly of all too mobile & non compliant adult (addicted to phone only image capturing 🤬🤬🤬) + mega mobile grandchildren, just borrow a friend's Sony a6400 & Sigma 56 1.4 lens, maybe a cop out, but that combo just nails focus.
4:30 I don't understand 100% what the resolution of the raw image is since the jpeg us limited to 50 megapixels. I've seen it's 80 Mp on some cameras but maybe not on the EM5 iii. I noriced if I develop the raw image later to a jpeg, it's still limited to 50Mp. In my own little test, the 50 was a lot better than standard 20 LSF picture mode (large superfine 20 Mp) and the 25 Mp high res was a little better than the 20. I don't know if the high res expisure is actully longer than the plain exposure (ie if each of the several images in hi res is the same or ahoter than a vanilla exposure). I noticed that the high res jpeg is fixed at Fine not superfine and that makes the file size less than 2½ times the superfine 20 Mp image.
I believe the hi-res locks the exposure to match the initial settings. So it will take several shots at the same shutterspeed, iso, apeture. The em5.3 only takes 50mp jpg and 80mp raw. The em1.3 & OM1 do 80mp jpg & raw. There is very little difference between fine and superfine but would have been nice if we could have selected sf.
Vow!Beautifull area and nice images Rob. Yeah that 75mm lets you work hard to get a composition. Rob is that you thumb rest also missing on the camera? I suppose you again will use "sugru" to make your own thumb rest.
Thanks, Leon. Yeah, that stupid thumb grip fell off. They never glue it back on right when it comes back from warranty repair. That said, it was coming off before I sent it in.
@@RobTrek I use friction tape over my slightly peeling thumb rest and a couple layers of it would work in lieu of one - a nice byproduct of playing ice hockey :).
I also lost my thumb grip at em5m3 - it just peeled off 3 months after purchase. I replaced it with a piece of thick leather glued on the two-side tape. Works fine for me, and the camera is nicer to hold :) btw, great photo walk (as always) ! I also really enjoy watching your tutorials. Keep up the great job you do!
I agree but the park had signs everywhere to wear a mask. I pulled it down when no one was around me but I'm so used to it now I forget sometimes I'm wearing it.
@@RobTrek Nobody can make you where that nasty compliance muzzle. Mandates are not laws. I have never worn one and never will. But on a brighter note thanks to you and a couple others I am the proud new owner of a OM5 Mark II. Waiting now for my 42.5 mm Panasonic lens.
@@RobTrek If there were signs everywhere that said "No Photography" even though it made no sense, what would you do? The same people who mandate masks will some day prohibit your photography. NonCompliance leads to Self Reliance.

9:19 Those two leaning trees in the middle look cool. Plus the arced tree. I don't know if that would fit in though with the 75!
