Photography News: Nikon Z8 Advisory, DPReview Lives!
At the beginning of this year, I made a resolution to try new things in photography, so I wouldn't get stuck in one place. They say it's good to occasionally leave the comfort zone of familiar routines and embark on an unexplored path. I ventured onto such a path yesterday...
When to use Manual Mode for Wildlife Photography
Shooting in manual mode is considered by many novice photographers to be a difficult task reserved for professionals. In this article, I’ll try to show you that the opposite is often true – shooting in manual mode doesn’t need to be hard, and it can take your wildlife photos to another level.

Catching Up with the Photography Life Team
