Well, you didn't get right into it. Why show us bad images with nothing to do with 3? Gone.

Bit to much face time and not enough showing the camera settings im afraid.!!!

Recently subscribed. I enjoy your teaching style. Glad I found your channel.

Thank you very much for the interesting and helpful tutorials. In this video, I am particularly fascinated by the color editing..I wish you a nice week

hi there, what is the best setting to use so that when i take a picture the subject is in focus but the background is blurred out?

Excellent séries!

Great insights and wonderful sample imges!

Enjoyed this video thank you Peter

Thank you, Peter, for this wonderful video. I'm going to be thinking about triangles and the number of objects in my images now. As always, I enjoyed your pictures too!

Thank you Peter ; thoughtful ideas to reflect upon and try to put into practice.

Looking at purchasing this camera and really appreciate this video. Very helpful.

Happy to have happened on this video today. Actually, in January, I decided I would set one of my camera bodies to monochrome for the whole year. It's been a lot of fun to have a full year to think in B&W. I am getting better at is as well (I think anyway).

Outstanding tips!

Many thanks Peter. I really appreciate those insights. Your pictures are wonderful.

Yes, the rule of odds is art. Except in wedding photography 🤔 And if the dead space between subjects is too much, you can only choose one side or the other and crop, unless nothing or blah works. Stepping to one side or the other, to bring subjects closer, using the better angle, will help in the matter. Attractive backgrounds always help, especially with street photography. Busy backgrounds can simply lose the whole shots story, or main character. For some reason, gremlins go about the night placing trash cans in front of otherwise beautiful buildings -- oh they are so mean. Bright objects, white or yellow bits appearing in color images will pull the eye to that area and away from the intended subject point of interest, so they are to be avoided, toned down in post editing, or cloned-out, though in some cases this might be considered too much in street photography in the purest sense. In B&W, if you you gray / darken the bright spot unwanted, it is usually enough. Thanks Peter for the video, Loren

Super great tutorial; thank you!

I am late to lunch as usual, but it’s an enjoyable video. I use all three of these lenses. I rarely shoot extreme wide angle, Which is why I have never splashed for the 7-14; if needed I live with the 12mm f/2.0 and make it work. I also use the 75mm f/1.8 sparingly, but love it; why ai have never splashed out for the 40-150 PRO. The 45mm f/1.8 is my favorite. 🤩 If it could only be just a tad wider; but then it would be a different lens. 😊😊. I am toying with purchasing a 20mm, hoping prices may decrease in the future, or hoping OM Systems survives.

Thank you Peter, you combined some very important ideas into an entertaining video. Congrats🎉🎉🎉. Much appreciated.

Interesting video, thanks Peter.

Thanks bro for sharing. Great tips! Simple always works and sometimes even a cluttered photo can be simple if you take a longer look😀

Every day is a school day. Always something to learn and practice in photography. Great vid. You ask do we notice this 3 element rule in our photos? My favourite from my recent photo walk was 3 subjects. A young guy looking back at a young lady, who also looked back at him as they passed, while the mother was in the middle looking into her handbag, oblivious of her sons gaze. 3 🙂

Relevant principle to keep in mind indeed. Works also for other forms of expression, not just visual or graphical.

Good video. Thanks, I had never thought about it. I will practice and learn to look this way.

Good video. I found it helpful with the ongoing journey of learning to visualize, specifically, the relative placement of the details within the image.

Another excellent video. I find these style of videos to be the best, were we get to see you taking the actual pictures you are using as an example for the topic being discussed. I absolutely agree on using 3's and odd numbers. I think I've been doing it for some time without thinking about it, because it does feel pleasing to the eye.

Excellent! Thanks

I think my 17mm is not as sharp as my 12mm. The pictures from the 12mm have more "pop". I just can't explain it.

Thanks peter,just bought omde 10 mark 4

Love this lens!

Great video Peter, thanks for making this video. I had a photography teacher that said this is one of the most important things if you are a commercial photographer- because you will be hired by that style you have.

Cool video. I like both of you. So yes, options is the enemy of art. So yes, basically having too much gear = it's easier to get distracted, not pay attention, make mistakes. Agreed 1000%. My only disagreement with you both is on camera size- I have had many advantages when I go around with a smaller "toy" camera.

Having reached retirement age in The Blue Mountains West of Sydney, I am retiring my Tree-Lopping gear too, I intend getting serious about my love for everything Olympus. I bought a Zhiyun Weebill 2 pro+ Gimbal, have many lenses from collecting kits on eBay, including many of the 4/3 series with an adaptor. I also kitted out both Sons, and swapping around lenses is always an option. I am now prepared to upgrade from my silver EM1, my EM5 will be my spare with different lens options. The Mk-ii & Mk-iii are both known as compatible with my gimbal, I suspect the EM1-X will be too. I plan on mounting my 12-40 f-2.8 pro on whichever upgrade I choose, money is not a main issue, but as always I am careful when I buy. Any thoughts Peter ? I follow your channel enthusiastically; your efforts are much appreciated thankyou. 🙃🏁

I really like the edited image - the colours ,particularly the strong yellow coat of the girl , the corresponding vertical lines which I did not notice at first etc, Great image !!

Finally ordered and I'll be able to play in the weekend 💪 can't wait for the aurora season to start 😍

Hi Peter. When you said about the 10kg limit and that you can not mount really big cameras.. at what cameras were you referring???? ARRI's cinema rigs? Because ANY mirrorless or dslr camera with battery grip and any 600mm F4 lens is still under 10kg. Cheers!

This is becming my favorite small prime. I have taken some AMAZING travel shots with this lens attached to my Pen-F.

Did you already test it?

Very interesting approach and well produced, new sub and registered on your email, thank you Peter!

That last tip was money!

I am thinking of going with 14-150 and 12-40, this combination cheaper than 12-100 alone, I get longer reach and brighter lens depending on my shooting.

My most used lens 😂😂😂

Excelente video gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias👏🏼

I just bought one, second hand, from MPB site. It is the M43 spirit, light, small, but having it with you. I wonder for the photos results. Salut

It is 2024 but I am adding a comment anyway. I just got an EM1.3 and an EM1X. I will be keeping my Canon 6Ds but sold my Canon R series cameras and small Lumix M4/3 cameras. This second, (third?) attempt at mirrorless is driven by theater photography where mirrorless has so many advantages. I love the EM1X for easy switch to portait mode, endless battery life and general comfort. I have also shot an airshow, waterfalls and landscape. The EM1.3 is also good but the biggest problem is Olympus menus. Twice, the EM1.3 has gotten into some mode during a live performance where it will not respond to focus, aperture input and even the power switch. That is one resson I have two bodies, for backup. But unless I can diagnose the problem, I will have to replace it. One thing I learned in this video is the superior ISO performance of the EM1.3!

It looks horrible and feels cheap but it's a very good affordable lens. I never used it that much but recently I have. It allows you get more of the scene in, so it immerses you in a scene. You get the whole context. With 4:3 format you have to an interesting foreground or you'll have to crop...

Beyond the image quality for me are essentials the light weight and the small dimension. Than Panasonic Leica 100-400!

I have the mk1 version, it feels cheap, slow to focus and extends too far but certainly at the long end you would be hard pressed to see any difference in image quality compared to my 40-150 Pro unless you pixel peep at 300%. I guess the 40-150 Pro is such a beautiful lens to use, it is easy to fall in love with it

I get on well with the menu and I’m ok with the lack of joystick. I would prefer the scene and art modes as a menu option and use extra space on dial for custom settings. I’d also like a couple of small primes with weather sealing . I would jump all over a weather sealed 14mm pancake.

You say you're going to cover everything in detail then brush over Art Filters simply because you don't like them yourself!? 🤷 I'm wondering how, when bracketing Partial Colour (e.g. Art #14) alongside 'say' Monotone', 'Vivid', and 'Diorama II', do I then call up the colour dial to select the colour I wish to highlight in the the photo being taken?
