I'm just a forester with an OM-D E-M10 Mk IV, who like to take photos when I'm out in the field. Clearly I'm not a great photographer, but I do have fun.
Lens is a TTArtisan 17mm F1.4

I didn't know this photo was foreshadowing before I took it...

That is all grapevine and blackberry briars. I've very happy I had no plot points falling into that shit.

After this photo it was all trudging through year old hurricane blow down.

If you ever wondered what crawling trough the top of a downed mature hickory tree was like, I can honestly tell you it is the exact opposite of fun.

At this point I was becoming physically exhausted from working in the blowdown, but I wasn't mentally done.

So you know when Treebeard is going on about old trees with deep roots?It doesn't work like that. The vast overwhelming majority of tree species, so overwhelming that I can't think of the exceptions off the top of my head (they are in SE Asia though), get shallower root systems the larger the stem gets.

At this point I was cutting back down the mountain. Had maybe 2hrs of sunlight left, and didn't want to spend 4hrs retracing my steps through the blowdown. The way down was essentially 50-60% slope followed by a bench followed by another 50-60% slope followed by a bench...rinse and repeat to the bottom.One really steep spot I just ass-scooched my way down, rather than risk a broken ankle. Was like sledding on my butt.

Weird that you can be a full days hike up a mountain, but still damn close to something that pretends to be civilization.

Last one.Tomorrow I'm going to be trying out a vintage Super Albinar 35-105mm F3.5 OM mount manual zoom lens on a Shoten adapter. Not sure it will be a regular field lens for me. It is way way larger than the TTArtisan; worried I'll be constantly hitting it off trees.

Based. I find woodlands photography incredibly hard unless it's foggy. With fog it's ez-mode. Without it's just visual chaos.

Anon12/31/25, 09:43No.4491435
OP, most of your pictures suck. Try to put your camera close to a tree and point it upwards. Try playing with close and far plans and blur. For example blurry close up grass or pine and focused mountain on the horizon. Try catch some great lighting when light is beaming through the tree tops.

Sorry about the homeless m43 gearfag trying to ruin your thread. He has been having a huge meltdown after losing his home from a brutal divorce settlement. The poor guy barely knows how to operate a camera and got absolutely btfo by your pics in this thread, which is exactly why he is attention whoring in it.

The image quality is pretty bad. Almost headache inducing. Enough to outcompete the mediocrity of the plain, i was there and moved on nature of the photos.
Shitty little low res cameras arent good for messes of sticks and harsh contrast. You can mitigate this by learning to shoot handheld panoramas for more resolution and bracket and merge to HDR for better contrast handling but its hard to do bothTo use a shitty camera for nice photography you must get close to everything and avoid having a lot of distant detail and wild contrast in the frame. Thats why micro four thirds is fine for macro shots of tiny bugs and zooming way in on tiny birds. Proper cameras still look better, but its fine.Photos like these are digitals weak point and unless you can swing a d810 around or afford a modern ff like an a7RIII or nikon z7 they would look a lot better shot on 35mm film, and them scanned on the olympus in pixel shift mode (film does in 1 shot what digital needs 4+ to approximate). Well shot 35mm film can be scanned for over 100mp of detail, if your camera can do it.

I like these photos. Thanks for sharing OP. Sometimes your white balance is weird
but otherwise it's nice.
I like the colors here:
and the dramatic shadows here are cool

Rooster is missing most of his tail feathers due a fight with an escaped husky puppy (not mine). Did exactly what a rooster should do and fight for his flock.

Something I like about this lens is that I can get shots of things that I think are interesting, but just can't get close too. Didn't even realize I had that problem before with just the 17mm.Like this isn't a great photo, but I though the snag rot was interesting, but there was just no physical way to get the combination of close+high to take a photo of it.

Last one.Next set of photos will probably be after I get a UV and polarizer in the mail for this lens, or after I find time to go out to cliff with a hell of a view I know of. (lots of people know about it, but it isn't officially a designated recreation area...probably because if you slip you will die, or be left in a state where you regret living)

No you're not just a forester, anon. You are also a gigantic faggot and a victim for buying into the OM system
