PHOTOGRAPHY SETUP
Since I usually get queries on what camera I use, I’ll cover a bit here. Most of my shoots are taken with my Olympus E500 with my favorite lens, the Zuiko 12-60mm SWD. Mainly, I chose Olympus because I personally like the colors it produces out of camera since I do very minimal post-processing work and sometimes none at all. It’s also an ideal Travel SLR since Olympus has the most compact camera and lenses in all brands which suites my style of traveling light. I usually bring a couple of lenses the Zuiko 12-60mm SWD and Zuiko 40-150mm f3.5-4 covering a range of 24-300mm on a 35mm format. The Zuiko 12-60mm SWD f2.8-4 is a fave since it has an extended range on both ends (wide and tele) and a macro focus of up to 25cm which suites my shooting style fairly well. Details on my other gear can be found here.
