    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 26th February 2026 at 02:27

    Leica cameras, with their century-long history, are masters at tugging on our emotional heartstrings. But can they also satisfy the pragmatic side of our nature?

This image of the Amazon as a place with a more or less stable, humid climate held true for millions of years. Unfortunately, extreme weather swings are becoming increasingly common in this cradle of biodiversity beneath the world’s longest mountain range.

  • Does High ISO Matter Anymore?
    by Jason Row on 24th February 2026 at 13:00

    Some changes in photographic technology seem to happen at breakneck pace, others slowly, almost imperceptibly. High ISO noise is one of the latter.
