Photography News: Laowa 24mm f/2 Tilt-Shift Announced, Rumored Nikon Z70 Specs
Before diving into the latest photography news from the past week, I have a little riddle for you. The landscape you see in the image below was created neither by geological processes nor by human hands. It is the work of a family of animals that decided to settle in this wild-looking habitat. For…
Photography Lessons from Australian Birds: Part Five
Depending on what time of day our physical and mental activity peaks, we humans can be divided into two groups—early birds and night owls. However, as photographers, we should be something of a hybrid of the two. After all, some of the most interesting things in nature happen either early in the…

Photography News: Touchscreen MacBook Pros Announced, Nikon Z70 Rumor
Before we get our feet back on solid ground and take a look at the latest photography news, let’s keep our heads in the clouds for a little while longer. It was only quite recently that I discovered that the tallest tree in the Czech Republic grows less than 10 kilometers from my mountain cottage…
To Survive, Photography Life Is Changing
These past few years haven’t been a kind to photography blogs. Many of the old classic websites have gone offline, and others have changed almost to the point of being unrecognizable. You could blame AI for that, but frankly, the trend was already moving in this direction for years. If anything, AI…
Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 Review
The Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 is a fast alternative to Nikon's 50mm f/1.8 S, with a similar price, size, and weight - but without the "S" designation. Did Nikon strike the right balance of performance, or does it have too many compromises? I'll answer all your questions in today’s hands-on review!
Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S Announced – Our Thoughts!
Nikon just announced a whopper of a lens: the Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S. It's the third Nikon Z lens to feature a built-in teleconverter, and the first of those lenses to zoom. This is far from an everyday 300mm f/2.8 - it costs $14,000 and weighs 6 pounds (2.7 kilos).
Photography News: Sigma FP2 Announced, Leica M12 Rumor
Paradoxically, dedicated cameras now account for a minority of the devices used to create photographs. Of course, the vast majority of photos are taken on cell phones. But there are also drones, gimbals, action cameras, and more. Recently, I set up a spotting scope on a tripod along a busy Prague…
Photography Lessons from Australian Birds: Part Four
Do you know the difference between a beautiful portrait on the cover of a fashion magazine, and a beautiful portrait on the cover of National Geographic? There’s usually a powerful story behind the latter. It’s similar with wildlife photography. In this genre, too, you can simply skim the surface…
Peak Design Field Bracket Review
Explaining what an L-bracket is for would probably be like taking owls to Athens. But as you surely know, an L-bracket is an extremely useful accessory for anyone who frequently shoots with a tripod, not only in landscape but also in portrait orientation. With that in mind, what does the recently…
Photography News: Nikon Fall Savings, Tamron 16-50mm f/2.8 Announced
This week brought what may be the biggest and most important announcement in a long time, at least from the perspective of our Photography Life team. After months of meticulous searching for the best papers, fine-tuning and calibrating the printer to perfection, and carefully preparing the online…
Photography Life Print Lab Announced! 72 Hour Print Run
I remember driving through Death Valley a few years ago, talking to a couple of my friends about a project that I was working on: fine art printing with the greatest possible color reproduction. It was just going to be for my personal photos at first, but I'd hoped to offer the same service to…
Fujifilm X100VI Review
Just a few years ago, it looked as though the days of compact fixed-lens cameras were numbered and that smartphones with increasingly sophisticated cameras would soon run them over. But then the 40-megapixel Fujifilm X100VI appeared and unleashed an avalanche that is still rolling down the valley…
Photography News: Sigma and Tamron’s New Lenses
This week, I got so lost in my archives of photographs taken with various DSLRs that I nearly succumbed to nostalgia. I even started browsing used camera gear websites to see if a nice, well-preserved Nikon D4 might pop up. But then there are moments when you ask yourself, “How on earth would I…
