Photography is far from being just a mechanical imprint of light. Photographs can tell stories. And often, without our realizing it, these stories reveal something about us, the people behind the camera. Be it the choice of subject, the lens we use, the tonal palette, or ultimately the final selection of images; every decision carries our fingerprint. As photographers, we often become part of the stories we’re telling. We step into them and piece together each image into a mosaic that reflects our own way of seeing the world.

Back in the DSLR era, firmware updates were mostly about debugging or fixing compatibility issues. Nobody really talked about them, because, frankly, there wasn’t much to talk about. But with the rise of mirrorless cameras, that changed dramatically. For Nikon, the breakthrough came with the Z9 and even more so with its younger sibling, the Z8. Since their debut, every major firmware update has been awaited with anticipation. Continue Reading » - Posted on Wednesday September 10, 2025

Wildlife photography, with its focus on capturing the beauty and spontaneity of the natural world, shares remarkable similarities with the practice of mindfulness: intentionally paying attention to the present moment. Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday September 07, 2025
Just yesterday—for the second time in a short time—I managed to leave my neutral density filters at home by accident. Let’s set aside what this says about the state of my absentmindedness! Photographically, instead of simulating the ND filter through image averaging, I decided to try something else: taking the drone out of my backpack, for which I fortunately remembered the ND filters this time.

Often, new camera gear is thought of as something we choose in order to expand our possibilities as photographers. Faster cameras, more megapixels, machine-learning denoising, and sturdier tripods all seem to only bring benefits. But the situation is not so simple, because buying and reading about new gear has quite a few hidden downsides. I’ll tell you about four of them in this article, and it could help you rethink your next purchase. Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday September 05, 2025
With a digital camera, it doesn’t cost a cent to press the shutter. And, as is often the case with a free and unlimited resource, our prehistoric hunter-gatherer genes take over and the memory card soon overflows with thousands of photos. The joy and excitement of taking pictures is then replaced by the tedious task of sorting and culling on the computer. But as I’ll show you, Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have a number of tools that make this situation a little easier. Continue Reading » - Posted on Thursday September 04, 2025

It doesn’t matter whether you live in Nebraska, Mongolia, or like me, in the Czech Republic. These places, far from the nearest sea, would be biologically poor and dull without the beneficial influence of islands. The immense biodiversity of this planet is fundamentally dependent on their existence. Without exaggeration, it can be said that islands are the true cradle of evolution.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so nervous rock climbing as I did this week. The reason wasn’t really the thirty meters of air below my feet as I hung on the rope, photographing climbers beneath me. The shiver running down my spine had more to do with the camera I was shooting with and the fact that I was responsible for it “with my life.” I have to admit, I breathed a big sigh of relief when I finally rappelled back to the ground with the Leica SL3 still safely in my hands. You’ll soon be able to read my full thoughts on shooting with this unusual camera. For now, let me share one photo from yesterday’s climb—and of course, the latest news from the world of photography.
