When I get the chance, I like to have fun looking for biological nonsense in movies. Like when a Harris's Hawk sits on the shoulder of a falconer in King Arthur's retinue, or when an American Turkey Vulture circles in the first seconds of The Bridge on the River Kwai....

Now that it's summer, I'll try to show you a photo that will refresh and cool you down. Imagine, for example, a creek filled with perfectly cold beer. Unfortunately, even in the Czech Republic - which is one of the leading countries in the consumption of this golden drink -...

Photography has a special magic for me. It is only thanks to it that I can suppress my comfortable and lazy side and face annoying insects, lack of food, or bad weather. A few days ago, in anticipation of beautiful morning views of the surrounding landscape, I rejected the comfort...

Although it didn't look like it at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris on Friday, a heat wave continues in most parts of the world. If you're wondering where to escape, consider dipping your head in cold water, like the White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus). Then, with a...

Everything comes to an end. After 17 days in the tropical Ecuadorian Andes, going from 300 meters to 4200 meters above sea level (660 to 13,800 feet), I am sitting in a gazebo in the middle of the Czech forest and writing these lines. Thousands of photos of birds and...

It's nice to have "something to photograph when there's nothing to photograph." For me, that's macro photography of oil droplets floating in water. If the weather is bad, or if I'm not inspired by anything nearby, I know that I can always exercise my photography muscles by spending an afternoon...
