How Moving To Olympus Could Help You With Your Photography

Have you lost your photographic mojo? Fed up with lugging heavy camera systems around? That was me way back in 2014 and in this blog I am going to let you know how moving to Olympus could help you with your photography. My name is Eifion Williams and I am one part of the Welshot Photographic Academy – I have been taking photos for more years than I care to remember and have been teaching photography, officially, since 2009. Back in 2014 I lost all interest in my own personal photography and I failed to understand why. I just knew that photography was no longer fun on a personal level – in fact, it was a struggle! Turned out I’d had a heart attack and I needed a triple heart bypass but that is a whole other story...

Get Your Photographic Mojo Back

From the moment I was diagnosed I realised WHY I was no longer enjoying my photography, it all made perfect sense. I loved what I was doing, in my job at Welshot, the people I was helping, the photographic workshops we were running – but I didn’t have the ENERGY left for my own personal photography and it felt like I was missing out.

Changing Camera Systems

Lugging heavy, cumbersome, large cameras and lenses around was heavy hard work and it was sucking all the enjoyment out of my own photography, and I wanted to feel the thrill of taking photos again, whether that be street photography, capturing the action at the race track or working in a studio environment. So, without a second thought I sold all my Nikon cameras, all my lenses and bought into the the Olympus system lock, stock and barrel and I have never once looked back.

I am not the only one, ask anyone who has moved from other well known camera systems to the Olympus System and the first thing they will say is because it is so easy to handle, easy to use, easy to carry and it’s the best thing that they have ever done. At Welshot we constantly hear the delight about how much more enjoyable photography is now they have an easier to use, easier to manage, camera system.

So – How Moving To Olympus Could Help You With Your Photography

While the main reason for changing camera systems was the heavy, large and cumbersome cameras I was fed up lugging about, and the desperate need of wanting to get my personal photographic mojo back – there were many, many, other benefits that I was able to take advantage of by choosing Olympus. I am betting you will too.
