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...

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...
