The basis of composition in photography is that you are choosing what to include, and what not to include, in your photo. Almost every photo can be broken down into the subjects that make it up – primary, secondary, and tertiary subjects along with the photo’s various supporting elements.

This year, I finally made a complete move to the Nikon Z system. It’s true that I’ve owned the Nikon Z6 for a while now, but it wasn’t my main camera as its autofocus simply wasn’t good enough for most wildlife scenarios. Recently, I moved to the Nikon Z8, and while it’s a great camera, is it really an upgrade from my trusty Nikon D500?

A photograph should tell a story, but sometimes it’s hard to fit the whole tale into a single frame. I’m sure you have plenty of stories to share, and I’d love to see and hear them! If you like, starting today, you can send me a series of 3-10 photos, each with a caption, and a short story that ties them together. I’ll select three submissions to publish. Who knows, this might be laying the foundation for a new series that will inspire you to pick up your camera more often.

Viltrox just released the AF 15mm f/1.7 Air, a wide and fast APS-C lens with autofocus. This lens is available for Nikon Z, Sony E, and Fuji X. I think it could be especially interesting for Nikon Z shooters who don’t have very many dedicated DX lenses, especially fast primes. In this review, I’ll share my experience testing the Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air and show how it performs.
