Feeding birds is immensely popular activity all over the world. And it’s easy to understand why. Creatures that are otherwise rather shy tend to lose some of their fear at a feeder, allowing us to enjoy both their beauty and their fascinating behavior up close.

The third week of January was rather modest when it came to photography news (unlike the news from the outside world). In keeping with that, I chose a similarly understated opening image for today’s article. At first glance, there appears to be nothing particularly interesting in this photo. I found it while going through my photos from Ecuador to update our article Best Nikon Lenses for Wildlife Photography… and looking at the thumbnail, I found myself wondering whether I had accidentally pressed the shutter. Yet, this seemingly empty image does contain a living creature—one perfectly adapted, through its cryptic coloration, to an environment full of sharp beaks, curved talons, and pointed teeth. Can you spot it?

When I hold one of Nikon’s APS-C cameras in my hand, I immediately think how well it would pair with a small prime. And although we’ve seen a couple of small primes from Nikon so far, like the Nikon Z DX 24mm f/1.7, we are lacking them at many useful focal lengths. So, I was quite excited to do a quick field test of the Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air APS-C lens for Nikon Z, which is also available for Sony E and Fuji X.

Today, I’ll share with you a winter expedition into Norway’s Dovrefjell National Park, home to about 300 magnificent muskoxen. My journey took place in extreme Arctic conditions with temperatures around -25°C (-13°F). How did my cameras – the Nikon Z9, Z6 III, and ZR – hold up?

Most photographers edit their work with a mouse and keyboard while looking at a monitor. However, there are many devices that give a tactile feel to photo editing and drawing, such as pen tablets. Today, I’ll review one such pen tablet: the Huion Kamvas 16 Gen 3, which retails for $ 459.
