  • Photographing the Fiery Topaz: A Feathered Gemstone of the Amazon
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 10th July 2025 at 18:45

    The green shadows of the Amazon hide many treasures. From the gold and riches that played a role in the plundering of the world’s largest rainforest, to the ones I’m after — living treasures. One river, the Napo, plays a central role in both types. The Napo River is part of the story of the mythical city of El Dorado, and it also is home to one of the most beautiful hummingbirds of the Amazon: the Fiery Topaz (Topaza pyra).

  • When the Photographer Does Not Shoot
    by Massimo Vignoli on 8th July 2025 at 19:43

    Often, photographers are driven by the obsessive need to capture the moment, to be productive at all costs. Recently, however, I rewatched a movie that contained a different reflection, one that I would like to share with you today. It is the beauty of choosing not to shoot, to fully immerse oneself in the moment, and rediscover the pure pleasure of observation, which ultimately leads photographers to better photos.

Is this lens worth buying, or should you choose something like the Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S instead?

  • Photography News: Nikon Z8 Firmware Warning, Tamron 16-30mm f/2.8 Announced
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 7th July 2025 at 05:19

    It isn’t always easy to come up with a topic for the opening paragraph of this weekly news. Most of the time, though, I find that life itself provides the inspiration I need. Like right now, for example, as I sit under our garden pergola writing these words and witnessing a little scene unfolding before my eyes: Perched on a low branch of a nearby pine tree are two fledgling Common Redstarts. They’ve already mastered flying, and hanging around the nest is no longer their idea of fun. Still, they eagerly demand parental attention in the form of tasty insect deliveries. Freedom and independence are great, but a full belly always wins. It looks like this brood will have a happy ending.
