Photography News: Nikon Lens Sale, Leica 35mm Film Camera

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 the flower, their relentless squabbling over a drop of sugar water, and of course their vibrant colors make them very attractive subjects for the wildlife photographer. At the same time, if you want to photograph all the hummingbird species out there, it would literally be the task of a lifetime. Could you guess how many species would make a complete collection? Feel free to leave me your guess in the comments below this article.

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.

How to Develop Black & White Film Yourself at Home

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.
