    by Jeremy Gray on 11th February 2026 at 17:52

  • 5 Things That Matter in Photography (And 5 That Don't)
    by Alex Cooke on 11th February 2026 at 22:02

    Photography forums, YouTube comment sections, and gear review threads would have you believe that the path to better images runs through spec sheets and brand allegiances. Spend enough time in these spaces and you might start to think that your sensor size is holding you back, or that real photographers only shoot in manual mode, or that your follower count reflects the quality of your work. None of this is true, but it takes time and experience to see through it.  [Read More]

    Vary your landscape photography perspectives. Learn how adjusting your tripod's height can completely transform your wide angle compositions.  In landscape photography, we often obsess over the technical trinity of exposure: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

    by Alex Cooke on 11th February 2026 at 17:02

    Every photographer has a collection of images that almost worked. The composition was there, the moment was right, but something about the light fell flat, or the exposure didn't quite capture what your eyes saw in person. We also tend to accumulate old family photographs in shoeboxes and drawers, images yellowed by time and marked by creases from decades of handling. These are the kinds of problems that used to require either significant manual work in Photoshop or simply acceptance that some photos couldn't be saved. [Read More]

    by Alex Cooke on 11th February 2026 at 14:02

    Carrying a small camera to a place like Malibu sounds casual, but it exposes how you shoot when nothing else gets in the way. The choices you make in the field usually echo later when deciding what images deserve space on your website.  [Read More]

    by Alex Cooke on 11th February 2026 at 12:02

    by Alex Cooke on 11th February 2026 at 10:02

    by Massimo Vignoli on 7th February 2026 at 21:31

    High-altitude wildlife photography demands a grueling compromise between the necessity of a long focal length and the physical limits of what can be carried across difficult terrain. The Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 S is my choice of lens in these situations. However, this Nikon lens isn’t just a niche tool for mountaineers. Indeed, its optical qualities are so exceptional that it stands as a professional instrument for any scenario.
