Kangaroos with babies in a pouch, cute koalas eating eucalyptus leaves, and the world’s most venomous snakes… All of these things come to mind when you say Australia. But have you ever heard of bowerbirds? We’ll take a closer look at two of them in today’s edition of “Behind the Photos.”
Photography News: Rumored Lenses, Canon Sales
When I first thought about the intro to today's Photography News, I wanted to write something about how gloomy, dark, and cold it is outside all day. This morning, my hand literally froze to the door handle. But your perception of the world is likely to be quite different from...
Secrets of Professional Photography: Jiri Hrebicek Interview
When you shoot a promising burst of images, you probably delete the ones that didn't turn out well. The blurry ones go first, of course. But I suspect that for my guest today, it's exactly the opposite - he deletes everything that's sharp. In this episode of Secrets of Professional...

Photography News: New 35mm Lenses, Rumored Canon Cameras
A friend of mine, a great photographer and scientist, returned from Madagascar a few weeks ago. Alongside a stunning photograph of the endangered Scaly Ground-Roller, he also brought back the knowledge that only tiny fragments of this paradise remain. Soon there may be nothing left to protect.
Wide Angle Wildlife Photography
When you say "wildlife photographer," most people probably picture someone in camouflage clothing standing in the distance with a heavy telephoto lens on a tripod. There's some truth to that stereotype, but it's not the only type of wildlife photography. For years, I've enjoyed the wide-angle and even ultra-wide perspectives...
Photography News: Sony a9 III Rumors, Black Friday Sales
This Saturday, I saw a very inspiring lecture by my friend and fellow photographer, Petr Bambousek. Apart from the great photographs, Petr's use of a quote by Albert Einstein caught my attention. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." In the context of the...
