I’ve never liked spiders. In fact, they’re
one of the animals that I find most
repellent. This photograph, however,
gets me to see this animal from a
totally different perspective, and it even
gives some friendliness! It is a clear
example that if we pay more attention
to our environment, we can find beauty
in the least likely places. Photography
is the way to see the world through
others’ eyes, discovering these new
fascinating and unknown perspectives.
Photography is a collection of many
things that we have to think about at
the same time. Exposure, light, idea,
composition, focal length etc. Now
let’s add to that everything about
diving underwater, and the fact
that the subject was was visible to
Marcin less than one second before
the shot. Mix that all up, and you
can understand just how incredible
this photo is. In my opinion, it fully
demonstrates the concept of ‘the
decisive moment’ of Master Henri
Cartier Bresson.

I always find Peter’s images – and the technicality of
creating them – intriguing. He has a level of flexibility
in capturing a scene that no one else has. One day,
it might be a macro image of perfectly shaped
mushrooms with beautiful bokeh, another day birds
or owls or ducks, another a quiet, serene lake, with
the perfect light. This particular day, it was a selfportrait with the Milky Way and a meteor, which Peter
captured using focus stacking on the OM-D E-M1 Mark
III and M.Zuiko 12mm F2.0 PRO.

This image by Vítek Ludvík, a Czech professional photographer, embodies the freedom and joy which we all
had before the Covid pandemic. Looking at it, my adrenalin rises up in the expectation of such wild outdoor
experiences. I hope this time is over soon and we can all fully enjoy our free time again.
Justin captured this scene in South Africa early in 2020.
I love how it shows how insignificant we really are
compared to our big and awe-inspiringly beautiful
world. It’s also is the type of adventure that shows
off what you can do when you’re unencumbered by
your gear – which is what is so special to me about
the OM-D system. This photo makes me want to climb
above the clouds with my own camera.

I chose this image of Durdle Door in Dorset, as Tom
so beautifully and expertly captured such an iconic
– and much photographed – landmark in the UK
in a way that feels unique. The light is captivating,
with stars perfectly highlighting the still and creamy
waters in this breathtaking sea scene.

Why did I choose this image from our Visionary
Janne Amunétt? It shows the true nature of Janne;
how he always challenges the most obvious and
goes for something different. What I have learned
from Janne is that if you change your view, you
might see more. Which is exactly how we think at
OM Digital Solutions.
