Photography News: Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 Rumor, Nikon & Panasonic Trade-in Sales

Posted on October 6, 2024 by ShutterBug

Before diving into the latest news from the world of photography, I’d like to share a painful experience – thankfully not my own. During one of my night canoeing trips deep in Ecuador’s Yasuní National Park, I came across this poor caiman that had survived a very painful encounter. What animal do you think hit it with a serrated spear? I’ll let you know soon. And right now, I owe you the answer to last week’s riddle. Those who guessed Sri Lanka Blue-Magpie were correct. I wish you enjoyable reading and a successful week ahead.

Why My Birds Aren’t Doing Anything

Posted on October 1, 2024 by ShutterBug

Over the years, I’ve received some criticism on my photography, and I think that’s a good thing. I’ve appreciated all of it, because on the whole it has made me a better photographer. After all, I have so many blind spots where I just don’t see problems. But there is one interesting piece of criticism that I’ve gotten many times, which was also part of a comment in one of my recent articles: Jason, your birds aren’t doing anything interesting! What do I think about that?

Photography News: New Leica Camera, Shimoda Backpack Sale

Posted on September 30, 2024 by ShutterBug

It’s the end of September, which means it’s the perfect time to head out and photograph the deer rut, now in full swing. But if the idea of misty, chilly mornings in temperate forests doesn’t appeal to you, hop on a plane to the tropics. I’ve chosen one tropical animal as a teaser for an upcoming article, and at the same time, as a biological puzzle. Can you identify the bird hiding its head under its wing? If not, don’t worry, you’ll find out soon. In the meantime, enjoy your regular dose of weekly photography news.
