This week's Olympus Tip:

Did you know you can do slow-mo video as well as "normal" video with your OM-1? Slow-mo can be a very useful tool to show off some incredible action or convey a sense of connection with something as simple as a turn of the head.

This weeks Olympus tip!

Currently I am doing a lot of photographing at great distances here in Malaysia. So, naturally, I want a little more reach which means I am going for my teleconverters. I have both the 1.4x and the 2.0x but find myself using the 1.4x the most...at least here in Malaysia where the cloudy days are outnumbering the sunny days and where I don't think the 2.0x will do well.

So, I carry the 1.4x in my pocket and when the time comes to use it, I want to share with you what I have been finding through some experimentation.

This weeks Olympus Tip:

Since I am traveling in Asia right now, let's talk dark situation shooting...it's quite common here! Keep in mind (depending on body and lens combination) that your kit has somewhere around 5 to potentially 7.5 stops of I.S...which means you can handhold incredibly slow images. But stabilization alone won't solve all of your problems. Try these👇🏼

Tips for shooting dark situations:

- Expose it right in the camera, even if that means pushing the ISO
