When I first came to the grassland habitats of Canada, I missed the birds and the life of the tropics. I still do. No sort of photography is quite like bird photography. No sort of animal is quite like a bird, either. What can be learned from grass? Continue Reading » - Posted on Tuesday September 30, 2025
The world of wildlife photography relies on patience and anticipation, capturing fleeting moments that showcase the beauty of nature. But what happens when the long-anticipated subject appears with a flaw, a visible imperfection that seems to challenge the idea of perfection we pursue?

Maybe you’ve experienced this too. You sleep in the car so you can reach your spot before the first golden rays of morning light wash over the landscape. In the pitch dark, you fire up your little stove, and soon the earthy scent of vegetation is cut through by the spicy aroma of fresh tea. You walk through a waking forest. Nature laughs, and you laugh with it. Life is good! Just as you slip into your hide, a flock of geese passes overhead. Waist-deep in cold water, you sit in the dark hide. An hour, two, three… somehow the sun forgot to rise today. Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday September 26, 2025
After the Leica M Monochrom and the Leica Q3, I finally had the chance to test the latest representative of Leica’s mirrorless lineup—the Leica SL3. Every time a Leica lands in my hands, I somehow end up bringing it to the rocks to photograph climbers. I’ll admit, given the high price of these cameras, that might not be the safest testing ground. But in such an environment, details surface that I might have overlooked in more comfortable surroundings. Continue Reading » - Posted on Wednesday September 24, 2025

"It's all about the print." I've believed that since the first time I held a print of one of my photos, and the feeling has only increased with time. I couldn't possibly deny the power of a good digital image, but the tangible nature of a top quality print will always reign supreme. That's why I'm so excited right now!

Recently, I’ve been musing about the sheer number of lenses the photo industry rolls out every week. Some of them, I suspect, we could easily live without. Others, however, strike me as truly intriguing. Into that second camp I’d definitely place the latest release from Venus Laowa: a 180mm macro lens that goes beyond life-size magnification. Thanks to the longer working distance, you’ll see a little less fear in the compound eyes of your tiny subjects. But that’s far from the only noteworthy thing this week had to offer. See for yourself. Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday September 19, 2025
I love extension tubes. Not just because they give you an alternative to a macro lens, but because they provide alternative perspectives and focal lengths for macro photography. What could be more fun than trying to get macro shots with a very wide lens or a random nifty fifty? In this article, I’ll be reviewing the autofocus-capable Vello Extension Tube set for Nikon Z system, also available for Sony E, Canon RF, Fuji X, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon F, and Canon EF.

It's been about a month since I began working on my intimate landscape photography book project. At the start, I mentioned that I wanted to restrict the book to new photos only, and a couple of our readers asked about that. It's something I've pondered more in recent weeks.

Ecuador is a South American country located on the Pacific coast. It sits at the intersection of the world's longest mountain range, the Andes, and the world's longest parallel, the equator.
