					<description><![CDATA[This week may not have brought any groundbreaking photography news, but it did set the stage for several fantastic encounters in front of my microphone and camera. The first one you will probably get to see is a very inspiring conversation with Janek Bednařík, an elite mountain guide and also one of the few people who has hand-raised wild geese from the moment they hatched, became their adoptive father, and a few months later found himself leading their flock on a small hang glider. Of course, you can look forward to some great photos and videos from that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I started taking photos decades ago to escape the rush, to slow down, and to find a real connection with nature. I used my Nikon to express a different side of myself and bring my vision to life. I find that in trying to achieve this, Instagram plays a negative role. It standardizes an artificial and over-processed vision, and it chains me in a loop designed to keep my eyes glued to the screen for as long as possible.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Recently, I began moving a lot of my older photos from my desktop to my laptop as I make the transition to a more mobile workstation (which I'll write more about soon). In that process, something caught my eye - a silly but meaningful sign of self-improvement that may be familiar to you, too.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A shooting star! Quick, make a wish! I still remember hearing those words as a child whenever I was out walking in nature at night. A few weeks ago, I was standing with my friend Petr at the edge of a harvested wheat field, beyond which the silhouette of the 14th-century Trosky Castle stood out against the dark sky. And since it was after midnight on August 12, the astronomical phenomenon known as the Perseids was just reaching its peak in the sky. When, after a few hours, I had finally exhausted my list of wishes—even the most trivial ones—I fell asleep briefly under a plum tree. Not so for my Nikon Z9, however. It kept taking one photo after another until the sky began to brighten.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that life doesn’t serve events one at a time, but rather in little bundles? Whether they’re good or bad. Sometimes it almost feels like periodical cicadas emerging. You spend years waiting to see even a single one, and then suddenly, as if by magic, there are millions of them everywhere. And before you know it, they’re gone again, leaving you scratching your head and wondering whether it really happened at all.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Vibration Reduction (VR), which compensates for camera shake when shooting handheld, is a great feature that means we reach for a tripod far less often than we used to. It is not to say that tripods have become obsolete, but with good camera-holding technique, we’re now able to achieve shutter speeds of around one second handheld—something that was previously unthinkable. VR can also help freeze the image in the viewfinder, even when our hands are shaking and our bodies are swaying in the wind. And when it comes to video recording, even with a long telephoto lens, it’s possible to capture relatively steady footage without tripod. Nikon, however, offers two VR modes – Sport and Normal. Which one should you choose in a given situation, and when is it better to turn VR off altogether? You will find the answers in this article.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no shortage of macro lenses for modern mirrorless systems, especially if you include manual focus options. However, few go significantly beyond 100mm. In this field review, I&#8217;ll tell you about a relatively new one: the Sirui Vision Prime 150mm T4 lens, which I tested on both the gentle grasslands in Western Canada and the wild Atlantic forest in Brazil.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In a comment under my article about photographing birds with a portrait lens, one reader challenged me to try the Nikon Noct for wildlife next time. This manually-focused 58mm f/0.95 beast causes light to bend and space-time anomalies to occur near the front element. Although I’m unlikely to take it on a wildlife trip anytime soon, the idea of manually focusing on wildlife subjects intrigued me. So on Wednesday, while testing a fully manual 150mm Sirui lens, I headed out to photograph dragonflies.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you know my work, you have probably noticed that I shoot most of my photographs with a single prime lens, a 500mm f/4. And while this limitation is partly a deliberate artistic choice, a significant reason for my minimalist approach to lenses is the simple fact that the dimensions of my camera backpack—and especially airline baggage limits—are not unlimited.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Imagine you see a beautiful scene that you know you&#8217;d like to photograph. So you take a few different shots, and maybe adjust your tripod and shoot again. Eventually, you get something you think you like. Sound familiar? Actually, I think this process is great for refining your composition. But sometimes, it might be worth it to take just one shot instead. I&#8217;ll tell you why.]]></description>
