OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP. E-M5MarkII with the 150 - 300mm at 300mm. 1/320 sec with Iso of 3200 at 6.7 no flash. This was taken free hand. It was just a quick walk before work.Inspiration
I really enjoy seeing the humming birds around the house. Some years they let me walk right up and other years I have to hide to get a single photo. Wildlife you never know what to expect. be ready for anything, move slow and have fun. Oh yes and lots of patience's.Editing
My have done a little with cropping. I grew up in the 35mm days so I try very hard to get everything just right before I snap the photo. It has a good and bad effect. :-) I have missed a lot of photo opportunities trying to have everything correct. In return I have also saved a lot of post processing time which is much more important to me.In my camera bag
