Travel Photography Using the OM System OM-1MKII and 12-40 F2.8

 Experience coastal photography along the southeastern U.S. as I photograph a foggy sunrise at Jacksonville Beach, Florida, before heading north to Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, Georgia. This travel photography vlog captures the reality of shooting in challenging conditions—heavy fog, crowds, changing light—and how to adapt your settings to still come away with compelling images.

For this trip, I kept things simple, shooting with the OM System OM-1 Mark II and the 12–40mm f/2.8, handheld with in-body image stabilization and no tripod. From missed shots due to a focus clutch mistake to experimenting with monochrome in flat light, this video shows the real process behind coastal and landscape photography. Driftwood Beach is one of the most visually striking locations I’ve visited—fallen trees, shifting sand, and endless compositions that work beautifully for sunrise, sunset, and black-and-white photography. If you’re into travel photography, landscape photography, coastal scenes, or OM System cameras, this location should be on your list. 📍 Locations Featured Jacksonville Beach, Florida Driftwood Beach, Jekyll Island, Georgia 📷 Gear Used OM System OM-1 Mark II OM System 12–40mm f/2.8 Handheld shooting with IBIS If you enjoy real-world photography vlogs, camera talk, and discovering unique locations, make sure to like, subscribe, and share.
