From time to time, it’s good to step out of your comfort zone and try something in photography that you know almost nothing about. Not only can you learn something new, but you might also have a lot of fun doing it! I recently had the chance to shoot some BIF. Usually, that stands for “bird in flight,” but in this case, the “B” was a beetle. A bird or a beetle – what’s the difference, right? From a photography perspective, not much, really.

No, this won’t be a classic in-depth review like the ones you’re used to seeing on Photography Life. I spent too little time with both the Canon RF 200-800mm lens and the Canon EOS R7 for that. In fact, I only used this combo for a few days during which my usual 500mm f/4 suddenly “fell ill.” Before it spontaneously recovered after a few days of bedrest (how, it remains a complete mystery to me), some friends lent me their backup equipment.

We’ve just published a new YouTube video, this one featuring me and Jason as we attempt to recreate a photo edit completely from memory. Thank you to Massimo Vignoli for sending us the photo in question! I won’t spoil the results, but I will say that it was harder than expected.

There are about 3,000 species of dragonflies in the world, and they inhabit the entire planet with the exception of Antarctica. They have not changed much since they flew on their webbed wings over the Carboniferous swamps of what is now Europe, more than three hundred million years ago. Well, okay, their wingspan is no longer a mighty 70 centimeters, but the basic design has remained the same. And why change something that works so perfectly?
