A great documentary photographer and teacher Jindřich Štreit once said, “The art of photography is similar to playing the violin. You have to practice every day to reach virtuosity, and if you set your instrument aside and return to it only occasionally, the spark fades. It’s like the training of a top athlete.” Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday November 14, 2025
The end of the year is always a busy time for me, and this year even more than normal! Right now I’m juggling about a dozen things, including the Nikon Z8 review, a pair of Online Workshops, our new printer, some YouTube lens reviews, and updates for our eBooks. Some days I wonder if I’ve overextended myself, but I think back, and this is always how things have been. The best cure that I’ve found is to make time, even when it feels like it’s impossible, to go out and do something I love, which is photography.

The OWC Express 1M2 is an enclosure that can house an NVMe SSD, allowing you to use it as an external storage device.

They say that less is sometimes more. However, this motto clearly did not apply to last week, which brought a whole host of interesting photography news. That includes the Canon EOS R6 Mark III and the new RF 45mm f/1.2 STM. We also saw Nikon kick off their holiday sales this week. And finally, I had a busy week of my own, sorting through photos and writing about my experience photographing vultures in western Spain. I honestly can’t remember the last time I shot nearly four thousand frames in just a few hours. Well, sometimes more is just more. Wishing you a great start to the new week and good light.

For photographers, moments of great meteorological change can be most opportune. Between the fire of autumn and the cold embrace of winter lie dramatic photos waiting to be captured. It's also a time when nature confirms the adage: "bad weather, good photos." Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday November 07, 2025
Canon just announced the long-rumored EOS R6 Mark III, a follow-up to the EOS R6 Mark II that was announced in November of 2022. Three years later, what's new? And does the new camera make an impact? Here's what we know so far! Continue Reading » - Posted on Thursday November 06, 2025
Canon has announced a new prime lens with a normal focal length and a fast aperture: the RF 45mm f/1.2 STM. Surprisingly, this lens is not an ultra-high-end optic, but instead, a fairly light and inexpensive lens! At $469, this is easily the lowest price we've ever seen for a first-party f/1.2 lens.

About half of all known bird species—some 6,500 in total—belong to an order whose very name highlights one of their most remarkable traits: the ability to sing. Songbirds (and, indeed, most other avian groups) possess a highly specialized vocal organ called the syrinx. Take a walk during the breeding season through places where birds live, and you’ll hear just how effective that organ is. It can produce sounds across a wide frequency range and at astonishing volume. The “song” of the South American White Bellbird, for instance, can reach up to 125 dB—roughly the level of a chainsaw.
