  • We Review The ASUS ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD: A Portable Monitor That Gets It Right
    by Alex Cooke on 31st August 2025 at 21:06

    I've been searching for the perfect portable monitor setup for years. As someone who spends half my time editing photos and the other half buried in code, I need screen space that travels well. My MacBook Pro is powerful enough for anything I throw at it, but that 16-inch display feels cramped when you're jumping between Lightroom panels and multiple code windows. [ Read More ]

  • Why Learning Photography From the Internet Now Is Harder Than Ever
    by Zhen Siang Yang on 31st August 2025 at 16:06

    Photography has never been more accessible than it is today. With easy access to high-speed internet leading to endless online resources, tutorials, and social media platforms, we would assume that learning photography has become easier than ever. However, my recent observation, coming from the experience of trying to learn a specific technical approach, proved otherwise. Instead of directly finding clear, in-depth guidance, I found myself drowning in an ocean of clickbait titles, surface-level explanations, and misleading information. This stark contrast to my early learning days made me realize that learning photography from the internet is now harder than it was a decade ago. [ Read More ]

  • Photography News: New Nikon Z6 III Firmware, Labor Day Sales
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 31st August 2025 at 23:38

    I don’t think I’ve ever felt so nervous rock climbing as I did this week. The reason wasn’t really the thirty meters of air below my feet as I hung on the rope, photographing climbers beneath me. The shiver running down my spine had more to do with the camera I was shooting with and the fact that I was responsible for it “with my life.” I have to admit, I breathed a big sigh of relief when I finally rappelled back to the ground with the Leica SL3 still safely in my hands. You’ll soon be able to read my full thoughts on shooting with this unusual camera. For now, let me share one photo from yesterday’s climb—and of course, the latest news from the world of photography.

  • Photo Book Diaries: Deciding on a Theme
    by Spencer Cox on 31st August 2025 at 05:44

  • Wildlife Photography: Travel or Stay at Home?
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 29th August 2025 at 05:32

    Adventure, discovering unknown landscapes and creatures, long journeys far beyond civilization. All of that belongs to wildlife photography as naturally as a fish belongs to water. But consider this: right now, some photographer might be on a plane to photograph the very animals that live in your backyard.

  • Photography News: Ricoh GR IV Announced, Rare Apple Sales
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 25th August 2025 at 04:05

    When I close my eyes, I imagine standing at the edge of a towering cliff somewhere high in the Andes. The sun is setting, painting the landscape in golden light. A perfect chance for a proper landscape photo, and yet I have a supertelephoto attached to my camera. So, I take the photo with my phone instead. These are exactly the moments when having a smaller camera in your pocket would come in handy. Maybe a Ricoh GR III, like I carried on my spring trip to Spain. Or better yet, the new GR IV?
