Two years ago, under the growing backdrop of AI and increasingly aggressive online ads, our team at Photography Life decided to have a call with one another. We talked about many things, including our worries for the future and what photography education would look like in the next few years. That day, we decided instead of continuing to rely on advertisements to sustain our site, we would eliminate our ads and start offering exclusive paid content on a member page instead.

When photographing action with a long telephoto lens, speed is everything. Even saving a fraction of a second could be the difference between a missed shot and the photo we are looking for. To that end, there is one programmable button that I find very helpful as a wildlife photographer – a “quick return” that gives the camera a better starting point to begin its autofocus. I’ll explain how it works in this article. Continue Reading » - Posted on Monday November 24, 2025
More than 100,000 people filled the streets of Prague this Monday to commemorate the anniversary of the so-called Velvet Revolution. Thirty-six years ago, on November 17th, communist police violently suppressed a peaceful student march in these very streets. Thanks to the courage of those who protested back then, my country can enjoy democracy today. Unfortunately, now—just as in many other parts of the world—democracy in the heart of Europe is facing serious tests, and recent elections have dealt the cards in a way that raises concerns. But for now, we can still take to the streets and freely express our opinions. Let’s hope it stays that way, and not only here in Europe. Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday November 21, 2025
Hummingbirds are undoubtedly some of the most popular birds in the world. What makes them so beloved? First of all, there are no ” bad guys” among them that would threaten humans, their crops, or domestic animals. What’s more, where they live, they provide irreplaceable services as pollinators for many plants.

How many 85mm f/1.4 lenses exist for the Nikon Z mount? Browsing through B&H, I was surprised to find that there are already six of them, and maybe more that aren’t sold by B&H. No doubt, we are spoiled for choice. Surprisingly, none of them come from Nikon, although that’s probably going to change soon. But as of today, there’s a seventh one: the Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.4 Pro Lens, which is also available for Sony E mount. I’ll tell you a bit about it in this field review.

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 »
