The genesis of photography as we now know it was in 1826, when Joseph Nicephore produced the first permanent photograph on a metal plate coated with bitumen. Wildlife photography was born a little later, in the early 186os, when a handful of people began taking pictures of domestic and zoo
animals.
Some images from this period – such as the…Read More -

The Canon EOS R1 has just been launched, and don’t be fooled by the title of this video! The R1’s focusing system is absolutely insane, and we can see why sports, wildlife, and documentary photographers will love this beast of a camera!

For some reason, the picture by Doug Mills—without any political nuance—immediately reminded me of the photo of raising the flag at Iwo Jima, perhaps due to the position of the American flag?

24-105mm f/2.8 Z! A Z lens? Really? Is it even possible? Canon releases “perhaps” the most versatile wide-aperture lens—a pricey and heavy 1.3 kg lens! This will be a truly unique lens and I would absolutely love to shoot almost “any subject” with it.

This will be the perfect lens for events, weddings, and any form of photography where you need a large aperture, wide-angle to long telephoto range! With a pretty impressive close-up ability at 105mm, it can “almost” double as a macro lens too. Well done, Canon! I would love to test it out and perhaps should talk to my friends at Canon SA to lend…Read More

I'm a passionate and eager photographer, exploring the world through my lens. With a love that has been growing for a while, I've found my true passion in portrait photography. My goal is to capture genuine connections and freeze moments that express the essence of my subjects. As I continue to develop my skills, I aim to establish myself as a fine art photographer with a unique perspective. With unwavering commitment and natural talent, I strive to create impact visuals that tell stories and resonate with others. Join me on this thrilling adventure, where I bring my dreams to life through beautiful moments captured.
I can understand why Jared believes the EOS R1 is a mere upgrade to the EOS R3. It shoots 24 megapixels and matches the R3 in many aspects. However, the incredible and improved focus system, robustness, and several other upgrades make the R1 a worthy flagship. It will be interesting to hear from those who have been shooting with the R3 for some time?
