Dewey B Photography

  What do you do when the weather is cloudy, drizzly, windy, and just plain uninspiring? In this episode, I head out to a new park in Walton, Kentucky for some winter landscape photography — only to find frozen water, flat light, and zero inspiration. But that’s real photography. Not every outing produces a portfolio image. Sometimes you scout. Sometimes you experiment. Sometimes you just test your gear. I also: • Test my OM System 50-200mm lens in windy conditions • Compare lightweight vs heavy tripod stability • Talk about traveling to Australia and gear decisions • Install and review a $92 lens coat for protection This is what real-world landscape photography looks like when conditions aren’t perfect. If you’ve ever gone out in bad light and questioned your decision — this one’s for you.

In this winter photography adventure, I visit Guilford Covered Bridge in Guilford, Indiana to test the power of Leica Q JPEG images straight out of camera—no RAW files, no editing, just pure color and tone captured in the moment. Even with snow on the ground, a closed gate, and challenging sunrise light, I explore composition, exposure settings, and whether shooting JPEG-only with the Leica Q can still produce meaningful, beautiful photographs. Along the way, I reflect on past travel photography memories, the value of simplicity in photography, and why not every photo outing is perfect—but every trip teaches something. The historic 1879 Bur arch truss covered bridge provides the perfect subject to evaluate Leica color science, dynamic range, and real-world JPEG performance in cold winter conditions. If you enjoy Leica photography, covered bridges, photo walks, and honest real-world camera use, this video is for you. 👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to follow more pho...

Want more zoom without spending thousands on a new lens? In this episode of Dewey’s Photography Adventures, I test 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters on my 50-200mm f/2.8 lens to see how much extra reach you really get—and whether image quality suffers. We cover: How teleconverters work Real-world wildlife photography examples (moose, whale, deer, bison, cranes, geese) 1.4x vs 2.0x teleconverter differences Light loss, sharpness, and practical trade-offs Testing the OM-1 Mark I with 50-200mm + 2x TC in the field If you're into wildlife photography, bird photography, or budget camera gear, this video will help you decide whether a teleconverter is worth it. 👉 Do you use teleconverters?

Experience a winter cityscape sunrise photography session overlooking downtown Cincinnati on my first Monday of retirement. After Snowmageddon moved through the region, I headed out early to capture a snowy urban sunrise, icy conditions, and morning traffic glowing beneath the city lights. From Devou Park, I photograph the city as the sun rises over the skyline, working through cold temperatures, fresh snow, and changing light. Later, I head down to the Roebling Bridge to capture rare ice on the Ohio River, something you don’t see very often. Snow falling during sunrise made this morning even more unexpected and special. In this video, I walk through my camera settings, lens choices, and thought process while shooting winter cityscapes in challenging conditions. This marks the beginning of a new chapter—retirement—and more time spent doing what I love: photography, storytelling, and being outdoors. If you enjoy cityscape photography, winter landscapes, sunrise shoots, or photography...

In this video, I head out on a cold January morning in Northern Kentucky to photograph a historic 1800s farmhouse and former horse farm, while explaining why I chose the Leica / Panasonic 8–18mm f/2.8–4 wide-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds photography. After a late start due to heavy cloud cover, the skies begin to break, giving me the chance to test my gear in freezing temperatures, strong winds, and harsh winter conditions. Along the way, I discuss the history of this abandoned farmhouse, its past use as a horse farm and wedding venue, and why places like this deserve to be documented before they disappear. In this video, you’ll learn: Why I use the Leica 8–18mm f/2.8–4 for landscape photography How it compares to the Olympus 7–14 f/2.8, Panasonic 7–14 f/4, and OM System 8–25 f/4 Shooting wide-angle landscapes in cold weather Testing the DJI Pocket 3 in near-freezing temperatures Why size, weight, and filter compatibility matter when choosing a wide-angle lens Travel-friendl...
