My first macro attemps with 75-300 and Raynox 150. The picture on the live view is very unstable, even with the EM1 II in this combination, so it feels like a 600mm without stabilization or a plane out of control. But in the mid zoomrange, you can luckily get two or three OK-shots even without practicing that much (and of course, I am not a great macro photographer) .

Pretty neat. I know what you mean about the ibis at 600mm!

For first try, these are awesome. I bought a couple of months ago the 60mm f2.8 macro from olympus and it is a great lens, but i was very surprised how difficult it is to get a good shoot at 1:1 magnification. With practice i started to get better results. Still from 100 shots, i keep 10 - max.
Here is one of today:

No macro from me, but lets say close ups. In these days you have to find something in your backyard.
First one is a shot with off camera flash SOOC. Second I played with live composite and applied a Pop Art filter in post.

Couple shots with Ellie in my backyard.
Olympus E-M1 Mark III with 17mm f/1.8. Slight edit in Workspace.

Olympus E-M1 Mark III, 40-150mm Kit lens
at f/9, iso200, 1/60th, Godox tt350 flash off-camera. 10mm extension tube.

Before I mow the grass, wanted to get some pics of these flowers. I liked how the pedals are meshing together.

I took Ellie for a photo walk with me. Decided to shoot with my Fujifilm X-T30 today.

A few shots with my recently aquired GX9. Using it with the 15mm f/1.7. Pretty happy with the low light performance of the camera.
FIrst shot is SOOC jpg using the D Monochrome option. Next two are edited RAW.

Edited with some colour.

Went with black and white except from the camera store

Nice shots and great camera and lens combo. Thanks for sharing!

Got my bird feeder setup so hopefully will get some more shots of different birds. I did these with my EM1 Mark III and 75-300 lens. Makes me want to get a 300 f/4 pro lens so bad. Not that these shots are horrible, but I couldn't really get my shutter speeds up or iso down. Nearly a 1:1 crop. Iso 1250, 1/200th, f/7.1, 300mm

1st one is edit in Olympus Workspace. A bit too much sharpening.
2nd edit in Lightroom Classic. Tad too much noise reduction.
3rd is original SOOC with crop.
