When you return from a trip, do you like to wait a little bit before looking through your photos, or do you open them right away? I admit that I like seeing my photos right away while the memories are fresh – but I also make sure to to revisit those folders several months down the line to sort through the images I might have missed the first time, once the “newness” has worn off. In that spirit, even though I recently returned from a big trip to Nepal, here’s a photo from last year’s Badlands roadtrip that I just found again this week.

I’ve just returned from Tanzania—a fantastic trip, made of 5:00 AM wake-up calls, dust, waist-high grass, and a ton of animals. And photographically speaking? Pure paradise. In this diary, I’ll share my day-by-day experience. Continue Reading » - Posted on Thursday April 16, 2026

It’s just after five in the morning when, after a series of heavy rains, we finally rattle our way along an eroded dirt road into the small village of 23 de Junio at the foothills of Ecuador’s western Andes. A light drizzle hangs in the air. Or is it just dense fog? For a region that receives up to three times more rainfall than the Amazon, this actually counts as beautiful weather. We’re at 1150 m above sea level, roughly where the jagged landscape of countless rolling hills begins to rise into steep slopes, culminating in the nearly 5,000-meter volcanic peaks of Pichincha and Atacazo or Cozarón.

A recent outing to find spring migrant birds reminded me yet again just how important luck is in wildlife photography. That's not to say every photo requires immense luck. For instance, consider this photograph: Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday April 12, 2026
Last week, humanity—and, let’s underline it, photographers—logged a rather remarkable record. No group of photographers has ever ventured as far into space as the crew of Artemis II. The images we’ve seen from their mission so far are simply stunning. It got me thinking about my own personal altitude record for photographing birds, and I realized it was last year’s shot of a Carunculated Caracara right at the summit of Rucu Pichincha (4,784 m). But now, let’s take a look at the photography news that emerged last week in our familiar corner of the universe. Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday April 12, 2026
The idea for this article arose because of a mistake that I made on my recent trip to Nepal, and an interesting photo opportunity that I missed because of it. However, every mistake can make us better at photography if we analyze and learn from it, so that's what I'm here to do today! Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday April 10, 2026
When Adobe abandoned perpetual licenses for Lightroom years ago and moved entirely to a subscription-based model, many photographers were frustrated. That frustration, however, became fertile ground from which a whole range of RAW developers sprang up. One of them is DxO PhotoLab, now in its ninth generation.

It's tricky to pick the right camera equipment for a trip, especially when weight and size are important priorities. No camera out there is free from compromises, and the compromises usually grow as the gear shrinks. All of that was on my mind when choosing camera equipment for my recent trek in Nepal.

The first day of April is traditionally a day for pulling a good prank on someone. April 1st is also marked on the calendar as International Bird Day. We’ve been celebrating it for over 120 years, and only last week did I learn about the positive effects birdwatching has on the human brain. Experienced birdwatchers are said to develop a denser and better-organized brain structure thanks to their hobby. So if you’re not in the mood to learn a foreign language or play a musical instrument—both known to benefit the brain in similar ways—grab a pair of binoculars and a camera and head outside instead. Stay sharp! And, thanks to our Photography News, stay informed as well. Continue Reading »
