Only during Easter

Only during Easter can you go for a hike looking for wildlife to photograph and end up with a picture of a giant rabbit.

Well, in reality, it’s not a rabbit, but a clever photographer using an assistant dressed as one to get a nice picture for a client.

This time of year, you start seeing photographers in our parks taking senior photos.

Yeap, it's this time of the year. Of course, a nice time to take some candid pictures.

More about the Nikon P1100

Here’s a review of the Nikon P1100. I’d like to point you to the 2:30 mark in the video, because right there you can see something I’ve been saying for a long time: more reach in wildlife photography isn’t always better. Nothing will give you better results than being close to your subject. The more distance you put between you and your subject, the more haze you introduce — and that can ruin your photos.

Canon canceled price drops for two cameras

According to TechRadar, Canon has cancelled their plan to drop the price in two of cameras, the R7 and the R10.

"price drops that were scheduled for May on both the EOS R7 and EOS R10 have been canceled in the United States". Annoyingly for anyone who's been planning to buy an affordable mirrorless camera, it was also told that "the price drops were going to be significant."
It's impossible not to link this change to the recently imposed tariff increase on Japan.

RF 200-800mm lens breaking in two

I've heard of many things, but this one ranks among the most bizarre! According to PetaPixel, a group of photographers reported that their RF 200-800mm lens broke in two while being transported in a backpack.

This is a $2,000 lens, and I would at least expect a certain level of quality from Canon.

RAW vs cRAW

Over the years, I’ve read many articles and watched numerous videos on this topic—just like with the RAW vs. JPEG comparisons. But recently, I came across a video that I really liked because it explains the differences so clearly.

Extinct dire wolf back to life

I know this may not seem related to photography, but in a way, it is. Many animals that are extinct today are on that list because of us humans. I can’t help but wonder—if hunters traded their guns for cameras, could that help stop the list from growing?

On the other hand, watching the video of these lovely Dire Wolves, I can’t help but think how much I’d love to photograph them!
