    Scenic 1 ½ days in Pacific Rim National Park

    we had a great overnight trip to the we(s)t-coast of Vancouver Island - our first visit (we lucked out with great November-weather) full album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tilman_paulin/albums/72177720312945455 Wild Coast Trail by tilman paulin, on Flickr Wild Coast Trail by tilman...

    Animals goats and sheep at the Blacksheep gathering

    spent a fun morning at the Blacksheep gathering in Albany, OR... While my wife was shopping for wool, I spent some time in the livestock pavilion, looking at the beautiful animals... The Olympus Stylus 1 came in pretty handy - the photos came out quite nicely although it was quite dark in there...

    Nikon rainy day in the forest with D750 and 24-85mm

    The D750 - of all my cameras the one I use the least... I previously only had the 24-120mm (which made the combo just a little bit too big and heavy to be comfortable on hikes), but recently picked up a cheap 24-85mm and thought I have to give this camera a go again. :) Saturday hike by tilman...

    Nature Buntzen lake hike

    first time in a long time that I kind of felt "in the zone" again on a walk - and took a lot of photos in a relatively short amount of time (3 hours) Most of these were with the Stylus 1 - except the 2nd one (E-M5 and Oly 50mm f2) Buntzen Lake hike by tilman paulin, on Flickr Buntzen Lake hike...

    SOLVED: current problem with Capture 1 v20 and Bitdefender on Win

    Is anyone else who's running Capture 1 v20 on Windows (and Bitdefender) currently experiencing the situation that Bitdefender flagged a C1 dll as infected (&put it into quarantine) and now C1 isn't running anymore?

    Micro 4/3 Sunday walk on a frozen lake :)

    We went up into the mountains yesterday - the weather forecast looked nice (and the weather ended up even nicer :) ) I didn't expect to have our walk ON the lake - just goes to show that I still have to wisen up a bit when it comes to Canadian winters :-D Using my E-M1 mk2 and the old 4/3...

    The 'one photo for each camera you own(ed)' thread :)

    Inspired by the "owned too many cameras" thread ;) - post one photo from each camera you own or owned... It doesn't have to be a complete set - just as much as is fun! When I tried to do this I realized that it's going to be tricky to get a full set :-D Especially if you factor in phone cameras :)

    Nikon Showcase wildflower hike on a sunny day

    We had a great hike on the long weekend last week with perfect weather - for a hike... Blue sky, sun and a cool breeze... which also meant taking photos in midday sun almost all day :) The Nikon 24-120mm (that I got with the D750 last year) is not a great lens (Olympus' four-thirds 12-60mm is...

    pondering the impossible again - replacing my Olympus 75-300mm?

    so it's winter again - that time of year when we ponder too much over our photo gear instead of using it :) I really like the Olympus 75-300mm for it's size&weight to performance ratio. It does have some shortcomings though: -slow and not super-accurate autofocus -in less than perfect light I...

    Micro 4/3 From Fuji to M43

    Sounds like a great camera & lens combo! Have you activated the "Super Control Panel" (SCP)? (on the E-M5 MkI it was off by default). Basically that's all I'm ever using to change settings - the menus are just too ridiculous :) Add the cheap, small and light 40-150mm f4-5.6R to it and you're...

    walk around the wetlands

    We just went for a short walk today at a nearby wetland regional park. Of course I didn't think of bringing a long lens :doh: a stupid mistake because at a previous visit we saw a bald eagle attack a barred owl in mid-air... Guess I'm still not quite back in the game yet :) Saw a bunch of bald...

    Redwood hikes

    We spent 5 days in the Redwoods again this winter break (one of our all time favourite places). For me it was like being a kid in the candyshop :) I had my new Nikon D750 with the 24-120mm to try out (and the old Olympus E-M5 with 50mm macro). (My wife had to be even more patient than usual...

    Hi again! :-)

    Hi everyone! I've been a "serious compacts" member previously - coming back since "cameraderie" still seems to be the most relaxed place to just chat about photography (and cameras!) - no matter which camera. :) I've mostly been using micro-four-thirds and four-thirds cameras for the last 5...

    Stroll Dublin Bay strolls

    since moving to Dublin 6 months ago, the bay at low tide is where we do most of our weekend walks. At low tide the bay becomes this empty space... Like a 'wet desert' or a blank canvas. Not the most stimulating environment in itself - but the ever changing light and the ever changing details let...

    lightning storm

    last week I witnessed the craziest thunderstorm I've ever seen when waking up in the middle of the night (or rather lightning storm, as there was barely any thunder). The light show went on for a long time, with lightning strikes every 30 seconds to a minute. I just grabbed my camera and took a...

    Redwoods - For a few days more...

    after our fantastic Thanksgiving weekend in the Redwoods we went back over the Christmas break. You simply can't get enough of these trees :) It was interesting to see how much of a difference just one month can make. End of November there were still some colourful leaves around.

    Frozen Rain

    a weekend in the Redwoods

    another visit to Eastern Oregon :)

    Last weekend we went to Eastern Oregon again. Looks like we'll now have to call that one of our "bi-annual" visits :) Everytime it has been slightly different, yet always wonderful. This time the weather gods weren't quite on our side, so we saw the area in a different, yet still very...

    Ricoh GR - developing raws to match jpgs?

    three days in the mountains with the Olympus E-1

    kind of a follow-up post to my previous post from the beach :) We recently spent three days in the Central Oregon Cascades (mostly around the Three Sisters Wilderness - an area which we love). I decided to use the Olympus E1 exclusively, as I was intrigued to see what it would get me. Not...

    three days at the beach with the Olympus E-1

    Hiking in eastern Oregon

    Spent a 3-day weekend in eastern Oregon two weeks ago - dayhiking in the Hells Canyon area. We love the area and were hoping to catch the wildflowers - but spring has been so dry this year that there weren't that many this time around. Or our timing was just wrong. :) I'm still using the E-M1...

    best "sweep panorama" compact/CSC?
