It was just before five in the morning. The páramo, and the sky above, were still lit only by thousands of stars. High in the Ecuadorian Andes, the nights are cold. And the fact that the equator lies just 50 kilometers away changes nothing about that. Here, on the Earth’s longest line of latitude, life follows a strict routine: The sun rises at six o’clock in the morning and sets twelve hours later, every single day of the year. For those twelve hours, the sun reigns supreme in the sky. The only creature capable of eclipsing its brilliance is the Andean Condor. Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday June 22, 2025
Just a few weeks ago, I found myself in what can only be described as true photographic nirvana. I was standing on the edge of a high cliff, completely surrounded by a breathtaking natural spectacle. In the glow of the setting sun, majestic Andean Condors soared above and below me, while Carunculated Caracaras darted through the sky. I didn’t know what to photograph first. I was overwhelmed. There are moments when photography is “just” fun. But this… this was pure photographic ecstasy. The kind of experience I might not encounter even once a year. And what about you? What photographic moments make your pulse race? I’d love to hear about them in the comments on this issue of Photography News. Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday June 22, 2025
In this article, I will share my experience taking photos of the muskox in Norway's Dovrefjell National Park in the heart of winter. You can consider this my continuation of the essay "Photographing the Muskox in a Winter Wonderland" previously published on Photography Life by Dr. Michael Rübhausen.

From now through June 22nd, B&H is running a lot of big sales as part of their Bild Expo event in New York City. There are deals on every category of equipment, including things like laptops and TVs, but I'll stick to the most interesting photography sales for you today.

Not too wide, not too narrow - just right. I'm talking about the 35mm lens, a classic for documentary and street photography (and more). Today, I am here to review not just any 35mm lens, but the most extreme 35mm that Nikon has ever made: the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.2 S. Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday June 15, 2025
I was thinking about which photo to share to celebrate Father’s Day today. Out of all the options, I ultimately chose a picture that I took this week in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Why this one? Probably because it offers a slightly stereotypical and humorous take on fathers – as somewhat roundish creatures fluttering between joys and worries… not unlike a Gorgeted Woodstar (Chaetocercus heliodor).

Yesterday, Fuji announced the X-E5 - a camera that is less of an X-E4 replacement and more of an interchangeable-lens version of the X100VI. Fuji also released a new 23mm f/2.8, a clear callout to the 23mm f/2 of Fuji's X100 cameras. The X-E5 is small in size, but could it become Fuji's biggest camera yet?

In a wildlife photographer's toolkit, binoculars are essential. They make it possible to spot and observe distant subjects, allowing photographers to understand animal behavior without causing disturbance. Continue Reading » - Posted on Tuesday June 10, 2025
One of the most fun steps in photography is post-processing. But if your computer monitor isn’t displaying accurate colors, then all of your edits may be wrong – and one of the least fun steps in photography is re-doing a bunch of work you already did! That’s why proper color calibration for your monitor is so essential. In this article, I’ve reviewed the Calibrite DisplayPro HL, a device you can use to test and calibrate your monitor to make sure it’s decent enough to edit a photo.

The marine iguanas of the Galápagos are truly remarkable creatures. Until my recent visit to the islands, I was convinced they inhabited only two worlds – the land, where they bask in the sun, and the ocean, where they dive for food. But earlier this week, I witnessed something that completely changed my perspective: iguanas can fly! Well, at least with a little help from a Great Egret. I’m just not sure if this particular individual will manage to pass its newfound aviation skills down to future generations. Time will tell. For now, though, let’s look back at what the past week brought to the world of photography. Continue Reading »
