Even though it's been about 15 years, I still see it as if it were today: For the first time, I'm standing in a South American cloud forest with a camera and a 300mm zoom lens. Suddenly, from a nearby thicket, I hear the familiar chirp of a Masked Flowerpiercer....

When taking a photo, factors like composition, light, color, and subject all play a critical role.

White-throated Dipper_Cinclus cinclus_OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark IIP1014230-ORF

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...

Fujifilm GFX 100 Image Sample #28

One year ago, I decided to sit down with some of my fellow writers at Photography Life and talk a bit about photography. What about in 2024? This year, I definitely wanted to get hold of Spencer, Libor, and Nasim, and get them to reveal their secrets about how they approach photography!

A Journey with the Photographic Mind

July 24, 2024 By Jason Polak 12 Comments

The photographic eye can perceive great compositions, notice patterns, find great light. But what of the photographic mind? The thoughts, the wishes, and the imagination – the idea of scenes dripping with the golden drops of sunlight? How does the photographic mind influence your style?

Buble in broken ice

In this article, I will share my experience using the Nikon Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S lens in the field. I have attempted close-up photography multiple times, but I always found the complexity of this technical genre overwhelming.

Wildlife photography is inextricably linked with long telephoto lenses. Most wildlife photographers dream of having a fast, professional lens in their arsenal.

Canon just announced their long-awaited EOS R1 flagship, an ultra-high-speed camera with an integrated grip and perhaps the best electronic viewfinder on the market.
