    Thank you as always Peter. Really great effort taken in producing this vlog & i think you may have a cold too? Very informative & helpful. Looking forward to next episode. & Bye for now ☺️
  • @paulbrace8098
    Thank you Peter, I’ve recently discovered you and what an eye opener you are. Your teaching method is great, I will be watching a whole lot more of your reports, as someone in later life well 68! I’ve got a whole lot of learning to do, but just loving my Mk II and 300mm plus some other pro lens. Again thank you.
  • @Rafaga777
    Thanks for the explanation. As always very useful and instructive.
  • Thank you for this video Peter - a fresh and comprehensive explanation of a complex subject with good options to try in practice . many thanks and keep the videos coming !!
  • HDR really well explained. I'm a early subscriber, but daily I try to see the maximum possible of your videos: your capacity to deliver knowledge is fantastic. Congratulations from Portugal
  • @certoglenn4840
    Thanks for the lesson, Peter. I remember a few years ago, trying HDR in my D?, whichever it was. The outdoor scene had good dynamics, especially with the sunlight finding its way between trees. The resulting HDR image was very flat, no good. It took some doing to learn what has potential of being an acceptable HDR shot. I wish I had seen this video back then.
  • @hauke3644
    The old E-M5 doesn't have a dedicated HDR function, but I have set up a "My Set", which does an exposure bracketing in high speed drive mode. That served me well for several years. Of course a software for post production is needed with this method. I can recommend EasyHDR, which was mentioned in the video. It is really affordable and gives very detailed control, but is still easy and quick to use with many presets.
  • @siofna9709

  • Great video Peter Thank you. I’m learning so much from these video tutorials. Your knowledge and wisdom is admirable and very inspirational. You must just remember to say “Bye for now” at the end 😅🇿🇦
  • Thank you for this video. Always great learning about Olympus products from you. Just wondering about your thoughts on mzuiko 45mm f1.8 against the sigma 56mm f1.4 primes. Test them in your next video perhaps?
