NEWS INBRIEF
OLYMPUS FIRMWARE UPDATES Olympus has firmware updates for its OM-D E-M1, M.ZUIKO 12-50mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ lens and the XZ-2 compact. http://bit.ly/IIAnjl
This Experience was just one of a series of exclusive days fromOlympus that have so far covered subjects like street, fashion and motorsport photography. The attendees had the chance to test out Olympus kit including OM-D E-M1 cameras and a variety of lenses to help them capture images of their impressive feathered subjects. Leading the workshop was professional wildlife photographer, John Wright, who was on hand to dish out advice and review the attendees’ images. We asked John to share his top tips. “Watch your shutter speed! 1/200sec may be okay when photographing people, but birds of prey are always moving so you will probably end up with blurred shots. Increase your shutter speed to 1/500sec, even if the subject is static and increase the ISO if light levels are poor.” The next Olympus Experience is all about creative light at night. Hosted by trainer Ade McFade and PN ’s Will Cheung, it takes places on Tuesday 17 December at Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds. Book your place now.
