					<description><![CDATA[According to a frequently cited analysis published a few years ago, people around the world take 93 million selfies and portraits every day. Other estimates are as high as 500 to 900 million! Unsurprisingly, 85mm lenses are among the best-selling prime lenses. And, of course, every smartphone today comes with a mandatory “Portrait” mode that mimics the bokeh of classic fast lenses. Photographing faces has simply become a defining phenomenon of our time. In the vast majority of cases, however, these are human faces, which I think is a shame. After all, animal faces have so much to offer in their diversity of colors and shapes. Let’s take a closer look.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I don't normally take a lot of wildlife photos; I'm a landscape photographer at heart. But I've wanted to go on a safari for as long as I can remember - you could even say it's what inspired me to buy my first camera when I was a kid.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“How beautifully the leaves die in the fall.” This quote from Czech actor, writer, and photographer Miroslav Horníček comes to mind every autumn when the leaves begin to change color. Unfortunately, I’m not much of a landscape photographer, so this time I’ve made an exception and used a photograph by Spencer, who is much better at it than I am. There’s another reason, too. Most likely, just as I’m writing this photography news, Spencer is searching for visually pleasing compositions of fall scenery for the participants of our popular Colorado Fall Colors workshop.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My current all-purpose 50mm lens is the Nikon 50mm f/1.4. It's not an S-series lens and has some compromises in the bokeh department, but it's basically a great lens. However, the thought of getting something even faster for intimate landscapes has always been at the back of my mind.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Recently, I’ve opened a cobweb-filled, dust-covered drawer labeled “Australia” as part of the new miniseries of articles I&#8217;m writing. This drawer shows a look back in time at the cameras I used—Nikon D810 and D500—and also my main lens, the Nikon 400mm f/2.8G. That was a lens that required you to sign up for a gym membership before you could even order it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Nikon just announced a new camera, the 24-megapixel Z5 IIC. It's billed as a Z5 II without the viewfinder, although it's trimmed down in a few other ways, too. It is also, however, lower in price at $1400 body only. That's the same as the original Z5 at launch, ignoring inflation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We’ll open today’s Photography News with a little puzzle. While going through photographs from one of my now rather historic expeditions, I came across a pair of almost identical images. Apart from showing the same landscape, they also share one technical characteristic—they were taken with the same wide-angle lens. However, I took one of them with a Nikon D500 APS-C camera and the other with a full-frame Nikon D810.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[These days, when lenses come with lightning-fast autofocus, powerful image stabilization, aperture control from the camera body, transmission of aperture and focal-length information to the EXIF data, and a whole host of other clever features, using fully manual lenses might seem like pointless masochism. Modern cameras, however, offer a number of features that make fully-manual lenses worth considering as a perfectly sensible alternative. In this article, I’ll introduce you to some tips and tricks for shooting with these lenses while keeping your sanity intact.]]></description>
