February 2, 2025 By Libor Vaicenbacher 4 Comments

frigate and tyrant_Costa Rica_LVP7605

On Thursday, while searching through my archives for some photos for an upcoming article, I came across a series of images that brought back memories of wonderful moments spent in nature. This time it was Costa Rica. One photo in particular made me smile again after all these years—a shot...

Eagle_Z9_02

Do you know what the Nikon D5, D6, Z8 and Z9 have in common? Yes, you're right, these are the most advanced models from Nikon since 2016, placing speed above all else. And, I'm not talking about the speed of the autofocus or the continuous shooting, but the speed at...

Nikon Z50 II: First Impressions

January 29, 2025 By Libor Vaicenbacher 55 Comments

Nikon Z50 II_Sample Images_DSC_0115

In the Nikon wildlife photography community, it has become a dead-horse topic of pub discussions whether we'll ever see a successor to the legendary Nikon D500. Some have succumbed to skepticism and whispered despairingly, "There'll never be anything like it again." But would we recognize a Z-mount successor of the...

Why You Should Experiment with Different Genres of Photography

ACP_6991

Many of us have a “go-to” thing to photograph. Often, this subject or style is the reason we got into photography in the first place. For me, it is portraiture. I love the dynamic feeling of capturing a moment in time of a person’s life—whether it’s at a key event...

Tamron 50-400mm_Sample Images__DSC2367_HDR

I don't usually photograph cities. Although I live in a really nice one, I get out of it whenever I can! Still, I was delighted this Thursday when Spencer texted me asking if I had taken any photos with the Tamron 50-400mm with the sun in the frame. I hadn't,...

Landscape Photography on a Cloudless Day

January 23, 2025 By Spencer Cox 23 Comments

Salt Flats with blue sky Death Valley

Photographers may be some of the only people with a negative opinion of blue skies! But who can blame us? Harsh sunlight doesn’t complement a lot of subjects very well – if anything, just the opposite – and an empty, blue expanse usually doesn’t add much interest to the top of a landscape photo.

A Do-It-Yourself CFexpress Type B Memory Card

January 22, 2025 By Libor Vaicenbacher 15 Comments

DYI CFexpress Type B__DSC9731

Once considered an exotic choice, CFexpress Type B memory cards have become the gold standard in recent years. While they're still not as common as the mass-adopted SD cards, many high-end cameras now feature at least one CFexpress slot, including from Canon, Nikon, Leica, Fujifilm, and Hasselblad. The reason is...

Jizerske Hory_Snow_Nikon Z9_Nikon 24-120mm f4_LVP2122

Some old photography "rules" are hard to kill. That was apparent to me yesterday afternoon when I went out cross-country skiing (rather foolishly carrying a full camera backpack, my Z9, and my tripod along). The rule in question? Not shooting into the sun! As I took the photo below, a...

Using Off-Camera Flash for Nature Photography

January 18, 2025 By Libor Vaicenbacher 8 Comments

Off-camera flashes_Libor (2)

Nature, by its very essence, is unpredictable - sometimes I even feel it’s downright mischievous. You’ve surely experienced this yourself: The very essence of photography, the light, is also photography's greatest challenge. Sometimes too little, sometimes too much, and sometimes simply boring. There may not be a perfect solution to...
