Brown violet-ear

I promised you a flood of vivid colours from the (neo)tropics of Ecuador. But the image I shared with you in the last Photography News was completely black and white, so I'll try to fix it now. I guess I'll never get tired of photographing hummingbirds. Their frenetic activity at...

I took my first tentative photographic steps with Pentax film cameras. Since 2005, however, a Nikon camera is what’s been nestled in my photo backpack. First it was the beautiful FM3A, then the pioneering D70, and then the excellent D300. With the advent of the digital era, I started to focus on bird photography.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you've probably seen the articles this past half-decade talking about the pretty massive comeback of film. Despite its "death" being declared by hundreds of articles in the early 2000s, film has seen demand increase steadily since about 2014. It doesn't appear as...

Camera menu to select framerate

In 2012, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” came to cinemas and sparked a controversy. Is it because director Peter Jackson had found a way to turn a short book into a three-film epic, of which this was only the first part? Actually, it wasn’t just that.

Nikon Z Is Getting a 70-300mm Lens! (From Tamron)

August 30, 2022 By Spencer Cox 25 Comments

Tamron 70-300mm f4.5-6.3 for Nikon Z

Tamron has announced their first-ever lens for the Nikon Z system (not counting the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 that was… heavily inspired, let’s say, by Tamron’s version of the lens).
