Merely a quarter into 2025, I have found myself collecting a wider range of images than usual. For my personal photography, I do mostly street shooting, as I have often called them shutter therapy sessions. However, the year 2025 proved to be interesting, it is moving me out of my comfort zone, and I have been taking more images that I would not have taken, unless they were required for specific content on my YouTube channel. I have been accepting more

OM Digital Solutions may have made some questionable decisions in their product strategy and marketing activities lately, but one thing for sure that never went wrong since the days of Olympus - the weather-sealing capabilities of their cameras and lenses. I have to say, the reliability of the camera's sealing against harsh environment - splash, dust and freeze, is second to none. Almost all cameras that I have reviewed from Olympus and more recently OM System, I have run them through

The biggest factor that holds many photographers back from achieving greatness is time. In order to climb to the next level, time is the most important thing that you can spend that can bear significant results. You can't just expect to spend an hour or two doing photography in your spare time in the weekend and expect your skills to improve dramatically. To get to the standards of National Geographic photographers, someone once said (I forgot who) you need to eat,

I have always done my insect macro photography on my Micro Four Thirds setup, and this was perhaps the first time I did any serious insect macro on full frame. Futuromic Malaysia (official distributor for Tamron and Nikon in Malaysia) approached me and asked if I was interested to test the new Tamron 90mm F2.8 III Macro lens. They were being really generous; they offered for me to just take the lens and do anything I wanted with no strings attached.

I do have to admit, in the last decade or so, I have gone through so many changes. From quitting my engineering job to working for Olympus Malaysia, then quitting Olympus and become a full-time photographer, then I started the YouTube channel, I guess the only constant in my life is obviously change. However, I am currently still a photographer, earning the bulk of my income doing paid shoots and assignments for clients. Therefore, it was incredibly amusing when more and

During my recent sharing on Rob Trek's YouTube channel, I had to do some homework, to dig up old photographs taken with Micro Four Thirds that I am proud of. You see, here is the issue - the images that I am personally happy with are not my best photography work. Allow me to explain - how do we describe great photography? Often times, these images include amazing moments, drama, excellent composition, beautiful lighting, creative play of artistic elements, you name

If you have been following this blog, you'd know that I love small cameras. That's the reason I am a huge fan of Micro Four Thirds system; they make truly compact cameras that can deliver great results. I happened to have both the smallest cameras from Panasonic and Olympus, the GM1 and E-PM2 respectively, and I thought it would be a great idea to pitch the side by side and discuss their similarities as well as differences.
