About Our Coast Line

The Oregon Coast is a highly varied landscape of nearly 300 miles in length. There are stretches of flatt sand and waves and stretches of shear cliffs and crashing water and everything in between. It feels rough and rugged, unfinished, because it is being created each day as the relentless waves pound against the rock walls and creating new sand and exposing new cliffs. It is a rich treasure trove for the landscape photographer.

High frame rate challenges

Today's modern cameras offer amazing frame rates that can be both a pleasure and a pain. It was only a few years ago that I was shooting with a camera that could do 5 frames per second. Today, my OM1 can shoot at an amazing 120 frames per second (though I almost never...

A few days in Fort Bragg, California

Often when I head out for some photography, I have thoughts about what I want to shoot and what images I wish to make. Equally as often my plans change. Earlier this month, Susan and I took a few days to explore the coast around Fort Bragg California. It goes without...

To Stack

Often, when making images, we come across a situation in which it is difficult to get everything we want in focus. While this can happen in landscape images, if we want both forground and background sharp, it is more often an issue when we start making photographs...

Today, Susan and I spent the evening talking with a passionate young lady who is getting into photography. She shared what her mentor has been telling her and listened to what we had to say. Much of it was contradicting. Her mentor has been telling her to under expose...

Long lens or macro

by Steve Dimock | September 17, 2025 | Uncategorized | 0 Comments

For most of photographic life I have used extension tubes or very long lenses for closeup and macro work. The concept of having a dedicated macro lens was foreign to me. It seemed an unnecessary luxury. When I transitioned to OM Sytems the lenses included not just...
