#Om1

[nealmcclure]

After months of my new camera (OM System OM-1) gathering dust on my office desk, I finally embarked on a day trip for some hiking and testing. The camera's weight and ergonomics are simply fantastic. Having something so lightweight and user-friendly has reignited me. The advanced image stabilization allows me to capture long exposures without lugging around a tripod—a small victory for someone who despises tripods as much as I do! As I imported the files into Lightroom and started processing, I was pleasantly surprised by how much dynamic range I could recover from the shadows. Combined with the AI-assisted tools now available for denoise, sharpening, and enlarging, I'm now confident that my micro 4/3 sensor won't hinder print quality. This next chapter in my photography journey with this new system has me buzzing. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

February 2025

With some inspiration, I’ve bought my very first analog camera—the Olympus OM-1. It came all the way from Japan!

A few interesting facts:

Released in the 1970s, it originally cost the equivalent of around $1,700–$1,800 in today’s money.

Batteries are needed only for the light meter.

With a limited number of shots per film roll, I’m much more intentional about each photo—so I haven’t used up my first roll yet! I hope to have it developed in March and will share the results then.

Shooting with manual focus is surprisingly tricky!
