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...

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...

Normally, I inform you about good deals and new sales in my regular Photography News article. This time, however, I am making an exception because last Sunday was too early and next Sunday will be too late! Today I received a message from our affiliates at B&H Photo about a...

Maroon Bells in 4K and 8K

January 14, 2025 By Nasim Mansurov 7 Comments

As I was going through the pains of reducing my photo storage, it was a fun experience to go back to my early work and see if there was anything worth keeping. While deleting a large collection of panoramic images, I found a couple that I ended up saving. Interestingly,...

Dealing with Photo Storage Pains

January 13, 2025 By Nasim Mansurov 34 Comments

Over the holidays, I finally decided to start a thorough clean-up of my Lightroom catalog and images. Many years of shooting resulted in accumulation of almost 400 thousand images and videos in original formats, and I got tired of trying to keep my data backed up and synced between different...

Nikon Z50II_Sample Image_DSC_0264

This Friday, I had the chance to test the new Nikon Z50 II in my favorite test lab - the Prague Zoo. What I liked (and didn't like) about this camera will be detailed in my upcoming Field Review. For now, though, here's a little teaser shot taken at an...

Egret_Dark_BG_Jason_Polak

Bird photography seems simple. You see a bird, you take its photo. But birds don’t just move - they can be in different environments and can have endless varieties of light shone upon them. All of a sudden, bird photography starts to get more complex. And in some ways, it...

Small Adjustments Can Lead to Big Changes in a Photo

January 7, 2025 By Jason Polak 14 Comments

In photography, you compose shots by moving your camera to a physical position in space and time. That's obvious. But what isn't so obvious is that very slight changes in space and time can substantially alter a composition. As a wildlife photographer, I know it's tempting to take shots immediately...
