Photographing the 2023 Solar Eclipse from Arizona

Posted on October 19, 2023 by ShutterBug

I just got back from a trip to the American Southwest where I photographed landscapes, the Milky Way, and a rare annular (“ring of fire”) solar eclipse. My bag was filled with lenses that I’ll be reviewing imminently – some from Nikon, of course, along with a few Canons and Sonys. That’s right, we can finally test Canon and Sony lenses in the Photography Life lab, which has been years in the making! But more on that later. Today, I want to share some details about the eclipse and the photos that resulted from it.

Photography News: Tamron 150-500mm, Sony Full-Frame Rumors

Posted on October 16, 2023 by ShutterBug

Autumn has now taken out its paintbrush – decorating the maples, beeches, and oaks near me with dabs of red, yellow, and orange. During this beautiful time of year, my Nikon School class brought together a group of great people and a bunch of interesting Nikon equipment. For the first time, I had the opportunity to shoot with the Nikon Zf and the Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena. I’m already preparing a field review about these new additions to the Nikon Z family. In the meantime, a Great Spotted Woodpecker from South Bohemia and the latest news from the world of photography are flying to you.

Enjoying Photography in a High-Tech World

Posted on October 13, 2023 by ShutterBug

In modern times, pursuing photography can feel like walking into a hurricane. It seems that with every passing day, we are bombarded not only with millions of new images, but new gear that seems to need upgrading every few months. And, recently, we’re being told that we need to apply artificial intelligence (AI) learning models trained on supercomputers to push our images to the edge of perfection. Is there any way to enjoy photography in this hectic digital age? I think there is, but it takes conscious effort.
