OM System

"My photographic routine consists of going out every weekend, especially on Saturdays. I usually go out before dawn. Due to my style of insect photography, I like to arrive in the field before the first light of day. This way, I ensure I find insects asleep and sluggish due to the cooler night temperatures. By arriving so early, I have 2-3 hours of softer, more pleasant light."

Is there a beach-front/lake-side/river you could plan a hike around this weekend? Imagine the light and reflections at golden hour...

Show us your summer photos of lakes, rivers, oceans and seas in the comments so we can get inspired for our own adventures!

Just give us a TG-7 and a decent rockpool and we'll be happy for days...

Show us your underwater shots taken on the TG-7: let's see how many different species we can collect!

New week loading... if we gave you the OM-5 Mark II and seven days off, where would you take it? We'll get the tickets!

"If there’s one thing I can encourage you to do, it’s this: spend a little more time outside. Whether it’s a local hike, a weekend adventure, or a journey to the other side of the world, nature has a way of inspiring us when we make time for it."

Your challenge for the weekend: where could you visit with your camera? We bet you've got time for a mini adventure...

"Two faces of the mountains: the power of glowing peaks and the calm of a hidden lake. Sunrise or sunset in the mountains – which would you choose?"
