Certain regions of the globe are uniquely beautiful, with the Svalbard Archipelago—an isolated island chain between mainland Norway and the North Pole—being a prime example. Visiting Svalbard offers a remarkable opportunity for those who seek adventure, particularly individuals with a keen interest in photography. Continue Reading » - Posted on Monday August 11, 2025
The photo I’m opening this week’s Photography News with was originally meant to appear in my latest article, "Wildlife Photography Essentials." But since its author—a brilliant photographer and my good friend Tomáš Grim—was somewhere deep in the Brazilian Amazon at the time, it didn’t make it into the piece.

The basis of composition in photography is that you are choosing what to include, and what not to include, in your photo. Almost every photo can be broken down into the subjects that make it up - primary, secondary, and tertiary subjects along with the photo's various supporting elements.

Wildlife photography is among the more technical photography disciplines. It sometimes feels like I'm carrying around a traveling circus in my backpack. But what does it look like under the big tent? In this article, I’d like to introduce the many essentials for wildlife photography, beyond just the camera and lens. Continue Reading » - Posted on Tuesday August 05, 2025
This year, I finally made a complete move to the Nikon Z system. It’s true that I’ve owned the Nikon Z6 for a while now, but it wasn’t my main camera as its autofocus simply wasn’t good enough for most wildlife scenarios. Recently, I moved to the Nikon Z8, and while it’s a great camera, is it really an upgrade from my trusty Nikon D500? Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday August 03, 2025
A photograph should tell a story, but sometimes it’s hard to fit the whole tale into a single frame. I’m sure you have plenty of stories to share, and I’d love to see and hear them! If you like, starting today, you can send me a series of 3-10 photos, each with a caption, and a short story that ties them together. I’ll select three submissions to publish. Who knows, this might be laying the foundation for a new series that will inspire you to pick up your camera more often. Continue Reading » - Posted on Thursday July 31, 2025
Viltrox just released the AF 15mm f/1.7 Air, a wide and fast APS-C lens with autofocus. This lens is available for Nikon Z, Sony E, and Fuji X. I think it could be especially interesting for Nikon Z shooters who don’t have very many dedicated DX lenses, especially fast primes. In this review, I’ll share my experience testing the Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air and show how it performs. Continue Reading » - Posted on Wednesday July 30, 2025
The Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f/1.5 is a fast, all-metal lens designed with excellent build quality and image quality in mind. Today, I wanted to offer my full review of this manual focus lens and show you how it performs both in the field and in the lab. Continue Reading » - Posted on Monday July 28, 2025
Modern digital cameras are amazing. They are devices capable of nearly any photographic task thrown at them: high resolution images, eye autofocus, blazing fast frame rates, and much more. I use a Nikon Z9 for my daily work, and it does everything I need it to do without any issue or challenge. With all that being said, however, it’s not a device that brings me joy to use. It’s a tool, and it does its job well. But the reason I got into photography in the first place was not to use a tool, but because I love photography. Film has been making a comeback for the past several years, and I thought that it was something I’d like to try. Continue Reading » - Posted on Monday July 28, 2025
From time to time, it’s good to step out of your comfort zone and try something in photography that you know almost nothing about. Not only can you learn something new, but you might also have a lot of fun doing it! I recently had the chance to shoot some BIF. Usually, that stands for “bird in flight,” but in this case, the “B” was a beetle. A bird or a beetle – what’s the difference, right? From a photography perspective, not much, really.
