Top tip with the halos. lovely shots David, very calming.
Cheers Iain 😊👍
Thank you David for passing that tip on! and best of luck with the new camera I am sure very soon you will be using every setting on it to justify buying it! Very soon all the tourists will be gone and I for one will be looking forward to your mountain treks again.
Cheers Des, thanks a lot for tuning in 😊👍
A great start with the new Camera David good luck with it.
Cheers Andy 😊👍
Thank you for the Photoshop tip. Its this attention to detail that I appreciate on your channel
Thanks for watching Robin, really hope it turns out helpful for you 😊👍
Only 50 comments, all are on holidays. Great video, like always you do.
Haha, no I think it's that my output has become so sporadic that I get far fewer views these days 😊👍
Those halos drive me mad, I've been using a similar technique but without the blank page. I've just moved from FF to the om-1, it's been a frustrating time, but with the support of your calming videos I'm slowly dragging my way up the learning curve. Thanks so much for your dedication and efforts.....
Hello John, many thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such generous feedback. Like you, I had quite a learning curve when I "downsized". But you soon tend to get the hang of things when you understand the optical characteristics. Additionally, the electronic components and the way in which they are configured by OM System work really well despite the camera costing a fraction of the price of an equivalent full frame flagship model. So keep at it, and I'm sure it will all fall into place soon. 😊👍
LOL- loved the mea culpa confession of giving into a new camera purchase! Look forward to hearing/seeing your experiences with it.
Cheers Mark. Yeah it's a problem when you've said in public on video that you're not going to upgrade. And then you do! 😁👍
Downplay the conditions and end up with a couple of images like that - great video, David. I did see the halo removal trick several years ago but don’t use it frequently.
Hahaha, cheers Brian, always good to manage expectations! 😊👍
Top tip !! Top location and top guy !! Enjoyed this one David
Cheers mate, thanks a lot for tuning in 😊👍
I guess that's the problem with living in such a lovely part of the country, people will always want to see it for themselves . The location you were at didn't look to shabby at all, shame too never really got the conditions you were hoping for but you still got some nice images, and as you eluded to its sometimes just nice to be out with the camera, especially if it's a new one !
Cheers Lee, yes I'll take any camera time I can get! 😊👍
Lovely images, especially the second one. 👍 Halos and all of the accolades for images that are overcooked to the point to where halos are a major problem, well that just drives me crazy. Pet peeve of mine! 😆
Cheers John, much appreciated. And yes, with regards to halos, it always surprises me that people still publish them as if they haven't noticed the over-sharpening! 😊👍
Great video sir
Many thanks Tony, really appreciate your generous feedback 😊👍
He is a clever chap that Gary, whoever he is? Is his surname Glitter? Great to see you still at it. I am waiting for the clouds to come back & the bloody crowds to go away too from my lovely coast & National Park.
😊👍
Fabulous halo tip! I'm off to try it in Affinity Photo. Enjoy the OM-1, I'm still sticking with my EM-1ii for now though the rumoured OM5 might tempt me..
I can confirm it works in Affinity too. Also, if you set the blend modes to lighten instead of darken, it works for removing dark halo lines too. I've always found those more difficult than light ones, so doubly useful. Thanks again.
Hi Dave, great to see more of your work. You might not think it’s up to much, but from where i sit, it’s pretty special! As ever, thanks for sharing… and don’t worry, the hills will be yours again once more soon enough
Cheers Steve, much appreciated 😊👍
Nice to see you back on the screen Dave, I so enjoyed our meet and glad the OM1 arrived safely. Thanks for the halo tip it always annoys me by its presence. Peter Jepson popped up to see me at Rhyd Ddu so it was nice to meet another fellow M4/3 group member
I must get round to meeting Peter in person, too. 😊👍
Great episode, and was fantastic meeting you up at Llanddwyn.
Thank you too for the tip about getting rid of the "halo" effect, I have deleted countless half decent images because of not being able to get rid of that.
Great to meet you too, mate. Hope the tip proves helpful 😊👍
Congratulations on the new arrival! Hopefully it won't give you too many sleepless nights before it's grown up. Looking forward to seeing what you get with it in the future.
😊👍
Brilliant David , thanks for sharing this delightful location with us, loved the images they were ace
Many thanks, Jim, so glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Hey David, congratulations for your new camera, it is a nice beast! I wish you incredible adventures with it!!
The two images you took are lovely, especially the second one with this beautiful colors and gentle light.
Ciao!
Many thanks for watching Luigi, so glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Nice one David excellent images, don't forget the inbuilt ND filters in the camera.
Hi Geoff, yes, that's what I was using. They're fab! 😊👍
It is great to hear that you got the new OM-1. I got mine back in early March and have been really enjoying it. Don't forget about the built-in virtual ND filter. Anyhow, I really enjoy your video.
Many thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed it, David. Oh, and I should have mentioned I was using the LiveND 😊👍
Great to see you out and about as always loved the images looks like the new camera will work out great looking forward to more images you will be dangerous when you get more time under your belt with it 🙂👍keep well Burt
Cheers Burt. Looking forward to being "dangerous"! 😁👍
@@DGriffGallery so am I especially up the mountains 👍
Very enjoyable as usual David, and great Photoshop tip, viewed some images this afternoon during our U3A photo group Zoom meeting with exactly this issue, I’ll let let the author know where to look for his solution. Heading over to Gary’s channel. Thanks
Cheers John, thanks a lot for tuning in 😊👍
Nice vlog..& thanks for the tip..on 😇
Cheers Robbie, you're very welcome 😊👍
great video David as always, started dipping my toes into the MFT with a Lumix GX7 & 14-140 mega lens.a few months ago finding it a struggle but will keep trying, hope to be able to past images on the facebook page by the end of summer
Yes , when I moved from APSC to M4/3 I found that this format can take a little getting used to. 😊👍
Enjoyed that especially liked the second image. Thanks for that photoshop tip had never heard that one before and i am sure it will come in useful, if only luminosity masks were that simple. 😀
Cheers Colin. Luminosity masks are pretty simple - I did make video explainer a while back, in case you haven't seen it ... 😊👍
@@DGriffGallery Hi Dave I did see it and I did understand a bit more, but I'm still not getting it. Must be my age 😀
Brilliant advice Dave and some very enjoyable images as well. I pre-ordered an OM1, but decided to buy an EM1 mark 3 at half the price (well almost) and I am very happy with it.
Yes that's a great piece of kit and you'll really enjoy it 😊👍
That guy who taught you the halo trick is clearly a bloody genius 😂 Nice video mate, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you can achieve with the new camera 🙂
Cheers mate. The halo thing came up in discussions at a Group meet, so I was strong-armed into sharing it. The least I could do to credit the Sensei 😊👍
Another excellent video. Have I missed something - where has your expensive (but second hand) Peak Design tripod gone? Is that a 3LT you are now using?
Hi Roger, yeah hated the PD. even CF is far too heavy and the "ball head" almost unusable for vertical shots 😊👍
I'm sure that even if you don't do a video review, a totally personal report on how you found the camera would be very nice. Oh, you have already 🙂
😁👍

Howdy David, nice to wander along beside you at the water's edge. As you were adjusting exposures and wishing you'd brought along a slightly less strong ND filter, I wondered why you didn't use the OM1's built in LiveND and see if that would measure up to your expectations. Let a fellow know. I simply won't sleep till I do.
Hi Ted, yes I was using live ND. I think I was just musing on shutter speed as opposed to a lack of filters with me. I always have the glass with me in any case. And I can say that the effect is very good indeed and that 2 or 3 fewer items to carry around from now on 😊👍
Hi David, I was fascinated by the earlier image, in the video, shot with your 14-150 lens at f22 using your new OM-1. I believe that you used it extensively on the EM5 in the past. How do you like the performance on the new camera, being a non pro lens? Were you concerned at all about diffraction with such a small f-stop? It’s difficult to tell if there’s any image degradation when viewed on CZcams. I’ve just rendered this question irrelevant by pursuing the notes of your gallery page. An interesting outlook.
What tripod are you using? It looks to be very compact yet sturdy. I have a real anchor of a tripod and I’m looking for interesting options that won’t break the bank. I just checked your gallery and discovered it’s a three legged thing, currently unavailable. Oh well, I’ve managed to render this question irrelevant as well! I love your gallery page set up and the information that you share there. When do you sleep?
As always your videos are very interesting and they frequently offer great advice. The analysis of your composition considerations are invaluable. I love how you work a scene. Cheers!
Hello Norm, many thanks for tuning in and your very generous feedback. To answer your second question first, I'm just very good at multitasking and get plenty of sleep! With regards to the f/22 question, I have never been afraid to push equipment to the limits of its specification, otherwise what's the point in having it? It is, of course, true that an image may be very marginally softer at smaller apertures, but this is almost entirely limited to extremely zoomed in pixel piping. And under normal conditions I would challenge anyone to correctly spot a small aperture image against a wider one with both using the same overall EV value. Additionally, careful use of such processing tools as Topaz sharpen AI easily compensates in post. And, as you will have seen from the image in question, the results are pretty conclusive 😊👍
Did you consider using the live nd instead of the actual filters ? Love your images !
Thanks a lot, Tony. Yes I was using live ND. I've done some tests and at lower values they're indistinguishable from glass! 😊👍
I was wondering what happened to the square filter box!
Hi David, is that halo edit avaiable in LR? Yes, the new OM1 is far superior to OM2/3, but 2k? This pensioner can,t afford it, OM1 Mk2 good enough for me, still 20 MP, same as OM1, nice if you can afford it, but a better tool? Cartier Bresson would probably compose better with a box brownie than me, it,s not the gear that count,s, it,s the compostion etc, the moment.
Yes you're quite right Steve, it's a fair chunk of change. But I was able to offset most of it by selling the 2 bodies it replaces. And as I make a huge amount of use of my photo gear, and which I tend to keep across 4 or 5 year cycles, that makes it much more reasonable overall 😊👍
@@DGriffGallery Thank you for taking the time to reply David, will have to use senior railcard and go to some of the seascapes you highlight on Anglesey.
@@steveworthington930 I use my senior railcard all the time. Currently on a train from Holyhead to Euston on business. It's great qualifying for discount travel while still running a couple of businesses! 😊👍
