Techniques
Double Exposures
Lenses
- Panasonic 25mm f1.4. My primary lens. Has some purple fringing issues.
- Olympus 75mm f1.8
- Olympus 12-40mm f2.8
I have B+W Clear UV Haze filters for all my lenses.
I have two 58mm B+W ND filters with step-up filters for my other lenses:
- B+W ND 0.9 8x — 3-stop filter
- B+W ND 3.0 1000x — 10-stop filter
See the Wikipedia page on ND filters as well as these threads.
I may get a 58mm CPL filter.
Flash
I have a Yongnuo 560 III flash and RF-602 wireless trigger. It's a manual-only flash. I have a light stand and umbrella for it, and I'm thinking about getting some gels. (More gel options.)
I also have the included FL-LM2 flash. I have a Demb Pop-Up Flip-It! Basic reflector and diffusor, but it doesn't quite fit the FL-LM2 correctly.
Tips on flash:
Metz, Yonguo, other options, oh my!
- Metz 44 AF-1 with Olympus OM-D E-M5 - does bounce flash work with TTL?
- External Flash for OM-D - Metz 58 AF 2, Metz 52 AF 1, or FL600R
- Triggers for OM-D
Bag
My exhaustive summary of my bags.
I have the BlackRapid Metro camera strap. In theory, the Snapr 35 would have been perfect, but it was not well-reviewed. I played with a hand strap, but it got in the way, so I'm going without. If I get one, I'd probably get the BlackRapid wrist strap to maintain a modular system.
Peak Design's Leash and Cuff looks like an interesting alternative to the BlackRapid, but I'm not ready to change yet.
I've got a generic padded insert, which holds the body and a few lenses, and which I can use in any of my bags.
I use a variety of Tom Bihn bags for most of my needs. I also have a Billingham Hadley Small.
History
- November 20, 2017 — Sent my camera in for repair, but it was too old, so they sent me a reconditioned Mark II instead
- February 27, 2013 — Got an Olympus OM-D E-M5
