So sadly I sold all of my bird photography EM1-X 100-400, other lenses

So I sold everything due to my poor health as I was reluctant to pick up the camera and I thought - this is pointless to keep. I sold it all to SRS microsystems in Chesham. When the money came through I thought I was going to get another Ricoh the mark 4 one but then I saw an advert for another idea. Somewhat I have bought is actually a smartphone it's an Oppo Find X9 ultra and the camera system is simply amazing. Below is my photos from this absolutely gob smacking camera system! There is no AI used in these images they are straight out of camera

A little bit of me tonight

 As you know I like off camera flash with this little X100 So this set up was with my father's and grandfathers, his father's chair.  Amazing history I took an image of my late father on his 80th birthday on this chair he sat in.

Finepix X100 does close up

 I was sitting outside in our garden and saw one of our plants in flower, I grew these all from seeds so I was very happy in how they have grown - even though the unnatural heat we have had makes it difficult.

Out with the Fujifilm Finepix X100

Something made me go and get my little Finepix X100 as the light was dull but nice and flat. I took photos of the leaves on the pavement as I walked to the local post office. It's a beautiful time of year as nature starts to let go and welcome winters embrace in a few weeks, it's nice to walk with the X100 its small and inconspicuous I had a couple of people say 'nice camera' and 'is that a film camera?'  It's interesting how people look at this little camera and lots talk to me about it, so below are my images from the original X100

The EM1-X and a good copy of the 100-400

 I use the Olympus OMD em1-x as my main bird photography camera. I recently bought a used Olympus 100-400 for it, the lens came from eBay and I got it for £456 which is a very good price! The lens has proved to be absolutely sharp and some copies aren't like this. Here are some shots from it

More bird photography recently

 I took some time out to walk around my village here in Haddenham. I often go out for "birding" walks as I call them, I have studied the locality and behaviour of the local bird life. This has helped with the shot of the Blue Tit as I was waiting for one to alight just where he sat so this worked well I have been doing images lately with my Olympus OMD EM1-X and an old 50-200 Olympus lens with the 1.4 converter which gives a real magnification of 585mm a good birding lens

My first Kingfisher shot

Our local pond that is a busy little area with shops and cars moving about didn't bother this little Kingfisher  I went out with my trusty EM1X and the 75-300 Olympus lens and capture these, I am planning for my birthday this year and hopefully getting the Olympus 100-400this is effectively 200-800 in full frame equivalent! This extra reach will be perfect for this shot in the future. Hope you like them
