Around the World by Private Jet-March 20 – April 13, 2016
Starting in Cusco, Peru then Machu Picchu, this trip took us to Easter Island, Samoa, Australia, Cambodia, China & Tibet, India, Tanzania & the Serengeti, Jordan and ending in Marrakech. An amazing trip as always, with photographic surprises at every step. All images shot with Olympus E-M1 with lenses: 8mm f1.8 Pro, 7-14mm f2.8 Pro, 12-40mm f2.8 Pro, 40-150mm f2.8 Pro, 300mm f4 Pro, along with MC-14 teleconverter.

Recently I obtained two of the Singh Ray “Hi-Lux” filters, that have pretty much replaced my UV filters. I always keep a filter on a lens, not a cheap filter as that can really degrade the quality of the photo. I also like the protection that the filters offer the lens when in the field. The Hi Lux are amazing, they give a slight “punch” across the visible spectrum, further making that image look as I saw it in my mind’s eye when shooting.
