Watch as full-frame wanderlust meets every ‘jack-of-all-lenses’ hero! If one lens could do it all, this video asks: Can it actually? 📸😄

Check out this review of the Canon R6 Mark III — it’s basically the camera equivalent of “What CAN’T I do?” (Spoiler: only leaving your wallet alone).
Perfect for photographers who want big features and a small ego-boost.

Watch how the Canon RF 45 mm f/1.2 might just upstage your favourite lens — yea, even yours.
Prepare for serious aperture jealousy (and maybe lens-bag envy 😏 -

Check out the review of the Sigma 20-200mm — the travel zoom that daringly asks, ‘Why stick to one focal length when you can have 10?’

A wildlife photography checklist is important for ensuring readiness and ethical practices, allowing photographers to focus on capturing fleeting moments rather than worrying about forgotten details. The dynamic and unpredictable nature of wildlife means that every second counts, and a pre-shoot checklist helps.

It is such a lovely portrait of a Buffalo. The exposure is spot-on and the image is very sharp. The idea of darkening the background worked very well, and it adds impact. A suggestion to improve your beautiful composition would be to make the white border a lot smaller, as the thick white border distracts from your image. Well done!

Thank you for your kind words and suggestion Bruna!

Lions were scattered under trees with full bellies when the cubs started playing with the remains of the unfortunate buffalo.

What a special moment you’ve captured here! Your image is sharp where it matters most, with good light in the eyes, well done! The image is slightly overexposed, but hey, we can’t control the light in nature. A suggestion to improve your image is to crop more at the bottom to create a better balance in the frame. Although you want to show the…Read More

An amazing battle unfolded as the Harrier Hawk checked every nook and cranny of the weathered wood-skeleton for it’s next meal. The starlings who calls it home was not happy and a scream-fest ensued.

What a good image, the burned-out background works very well here, Landie! I really enjoy the composition, and there is so much action! The detail on the dead branch is beautiful and adds to the story—beautiful detail and colour in the Hawk’s wings, which is also nice and sharp. Unfortunately, the eye is not sharp, and that is a focusing issue. N…Read More

Thank you Bruna. I am very dissapointed in the Tamron 150-600mm – it really does not perform well at distance. I find my images are very soft when photographing smaller subjects at a distance.

It is such a beautiful image of the Karoo-Thrush, Renate! The exposure is spot-on, and the berries in the tree add so much interest. The background is blurred out nicely and therefore does not compete with your subject. Your image is sharp with good catchlight in the eye. For the club, crop a little more from the top to place your subject in a…Read More
