Using a 90mm macro lens for close-ups and portraits on an Ecuador hummingbird shoot with the OM-1

I have always been a bit of a maverick and use kit for some "different" angles than others might. In this video I show how I used a 90mm macro lens for shooting hummingbirds and Lynx, to show you that it's a very versatile lens and not just for mini critters!! Illustrated live from Ecuador and also in my studio, sorry for the sound on that bit but my decent mic feed had terrible interference and I just wanted to get this live! For this shoot I used the new OM Systems 90mm macro and the OM-1, you can use anything you like as it's the principle that counts!
I will happily answer polite questions so feel free to stick then in the comments, rudeness just gets you deleted, let's all be decent to each other as life is too short.

A really unusual use of a 90mm macro, amazing portrait lens in daylight for this.. bloody brilliant & unique shots of hummingbirds.

Neat! Also I like your hat!

[@danacampbell8571]

Brilliant and Beautiful! You really captured the iridescence colors of these precious little birds in a fresh new way. Well done Andy. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thank you! Cheers!

Man, these are incredible! I lived in Ecuador on two occasions and loved visiting Mindo because of all the hummingbirds all over the place.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Glad you like them! Not Mindo but cloud forest. Thanks again so much!!

Thanks. These photos are great. I didn’t realise you could get so close to these birds 😮Just learning my way around my OM-1, and practising on garden birds at our feeder 😃

[@Wildmanrouse]

Glad it was helpful!

I bet some people will say that this is fake and that the photos shown here are done with Full Frame because of the shallow depth of field and lack of noise! Great images!

[@Wildmanrouse]

Well there is nothing fake about them !!!

Always inspiring work and words mate! I need to add the 90mm to my kit for my topside work but do love the 60mm beneath the waves in Cayman.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Go for it!

Do you know if focus stacking can be combined with hand held high res mode?
