We caught up with
the teams working
behind the scenes
at OM Digital
Solutions and
asked them to pick
just some of their
favourite pictures
from last year.
Here’s what they
came up with…
Fabio Di
Lima

Chosen by:
Valère Langlois,
Digital Marketing Specialist
Puffins are probably one of the most
beautiful and photogenic birds,
although I can only imagine how
challenging it must be to take pictures
of them, especially getting as close as
Fabio did for this incredible shot. Their
feathers really look like an artistic
pattern, with the light highlighting the
magnificent colours; magnified thanks
to the shallow depth-of-field of the
lens and the focus on the eye. It’s a
dreamy picture, and it’s great to be
able to make such wonderful wildlife
images with equipment as light as the
OM-D E-M1X and M.Zuiko 40-150mm
F2.8 PRO.

Lisa Michele Burns

Sascha Caballero
Chosen by: Mark Thackara,
Content & Community Senior Manager
Australian Visionary Lisa Michele Burns shared an intimate
photographic moment with me: “Never has a moment caught
me so off guard and been so powerful that my emotions took
over like they did while photographing this male African Lion
in South Africa.” she said. “His glance in my direction had me
shedding a little tear behind the lens, unable to stop staring
back in total awe of this majestic animal.” The connection and
emotion Lisa felt while capturing this image are what truly
makes it special to me. The intimate moments we experience
when photographing play an influential role in how it
transpires. I genuinely believe our photographic tools enable
such memorable moments, experiences and images.

I have always been fascinated by macro photographs but have not yet put the
time and effort in to do any decent ones myself. What I love about this shot from
Geraint is it takes a very common situation (especially in Britain) – a water drop
– and turns it into something magical. It was also taken just in the sort of place
most people could get to easily. Yes, it shows off how good the system is for
‘field macro’ but more so it emphasises how you need to keep your eyes open
all the time for opportunities too.

I totally love this shot from Sascha Caballero, I feel like this cute turtle and I
are looking and smiling to each other. As a diver and amateur underwater
photographer I know how difficult it is to capture this kind of scene, showing the
animal’s personality while also maintaining your breathing underwater. Another
fantastic example of how necessary it is to have a a good focusing system you
can trust.
