Last Sunday, I had the unique opportunity to attend a screening of “Koudelka Crosses the Same River.” The documentary was made by editing backstage videos taken during photographer Josef Koudelka’s work on the Ruins cycle, and after the screening, there was a wonderful discussion with the director and cinematographer, and also with Koudelka himself.

Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago where nature reigns supreme, provides a unique and challenging photographic experience. While many trips to this region focus on wildlife, and I’ve traveled there for that purpose, too, the Arctic landscape is an incredibly captivating subject. I'll explore it in this article.

Just two years ago, Canon introduced its budget R50 APS-C camera with the RF mount. Now, Canon has announced a vlogging variant of the R50, the EOS R50V. And, alongside the R50V, Canon has also announced the PowerShot V1, a compact camera with a large sensor and good video features. Continue Reading » - Posted on Thursday March 27, 2025
Canon has announced two new lenses: a high-end 20mm f/1.4 prime and a modestly-priced APS-C power zoom mainly meant for its new Canon R50V vlogging camera. Although these lenses are quite different in many ways, both have features targeted at those who shoot stills and video. Continue Reading » - Posted on Thursday March 27, 2025
In nature photography - where the image is unlikely to be prepared, posed, or lit by the photographer - one's unique personal style may be less apparent than, say, in a studio portrait. A photographer cannot claim full responsibility for results that heavily depend on natural conditions, right? Well, I disagree. Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday March 23, 2025
We often tend to seek out striking subjects elsewhere, while hidden gems are right under our noses just waiting to be discovered. This week, while spending time with photographer Petr Jan Juračka, I had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to hold a massive vertebra from the largest Triceratops skeleton ever found. The very next day, I headed out into the streets of Prague to capture sample images for our upcoming Nikon Z 35mm f/1.2 review. It’s always interesting to be a tourist in your own city, trying to see familiar scenes with fresh eyes. And while I was having these experiences, the photography world continued along – here’s what it brought us this week. Continue Reading » - Posted on Friday March 21, 2025
The camera world has become saturated with third-party gear in the past few years, and there’s no exception with tripods. Compared to more traditional big-name brands, some of these third-party tripods are fairly inexpensive – including carbon fiber models. But how do they perform? Today, I’ll review one of them in the hopes of answering that question: the K&F Concept 60″ C225C0 Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod. Continue Reading » - Posted on Thursday March 20, 2025
Fuji just announced a one-of-a-kind camera: the Fuji GFX100RF, a fixed lens, medium format camera with a 35mm f/4 lens (28mm full-frame equivalent). This 102-megapixel camera takes up very little space for a medium format body and weighs just 735 grams (1.62 pounds). That's less than a Nikon Z6 III without the lens!

Up here in the mountains of the northern Czech Republic, the snow slowly concedes defeat. The last patches are clinging to the shadows of the forest with their remaining strength before the spring sun chases them away for good. But in their place, another white carpet has spread across the landscape – the blooms of Spring Snowflakes (Leucojum vernum). These snowflakes love the spring sun as much as I do! Continue Reading »
