It may be a little late in the nesting season, but as they say, better late than never. I’d like to talk to you today about what you need to know about nesting birds, and whether it is possible to photograph them responsibly. Maybe with this article I can save a few nests and give you some valuable tips that you can use to avoid harming your subject.

I’m not sure precisely when I crossed 100,000 photos, but I’m well past that mark now. In another few weeks, my Lightroom catalog will hit 200,000. Even these might be rookie numbers if you’re a sports or wildlife photographer, or if you’ve been doing wedding photography for a while.

Nikon just announced the first f/1.4 lens for the mirrorless Z system, the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.4. That’s the full name of this lens; there’s no “S” designation, which is a bit of a surprise. Another surprise is the price: At $ 600, it’s even cheaper than the f/1.8 version!

Everything comes to an end. After 17 days in the tropical Ecuadorian Andes, going from 300 meters to 4200 meters above sea level (660 to 13,800 feet), I am sitting in a gazebo in the middle of the Czech forest and writing these lines. Thousands of photos of birds and breathtaking landscapes of the páramo and cloud forest are safely on my computer. I’m going to share many of them with you in various articles, but for now I’ll just start at the back, with the last photo I took before leaving for the airport. With this picture of the Shining Sunbeam, I offer another overview of last week’s news in the photography world.
