When choosing binoculars or scopes, a term that should be heavily considered is exit pupil. What is exit pupil, and what does it do? We're often focused on magnification and light gathering capabilities in optics, and these are essential for understanding how optics works, but overall viewing experience shouldn't be discounted. If you look at any optic at arm's length, you'll see the small…

Birding is the perfect way of partially disconnecting from the digital world we find ourselves in and connecting with nature through…

Imagine, if you will, a photo shoot. Your subject is a striped, orange cat bouncing off of the walls. You have your camera raised to your brow, finger on the trigger, waiting for the perfect pose.

You check your shots, only to see a series of blurry…

Birding is, by definition, the recreational hobby of observing and identifying wild birds in their natural habitat. Finding birds is the easy part. Just go outside and stop, look, and listen, and you’ll notice our feathery friends like you’ve never seen before. But how do we identify them?

It's not every day that a piece of photography history passes through B&H. Sure, every camera and lens carries a little bit of the past with it, from a DSLR made in 2015 to an old rangefinder from the 50s. History lives in the images they've captured and the hands they've been passed through. That said, there are some cameras and lenses that stand out among the rest. Especially when they come…

The a7R series has long been popular among wildlife photographers for the big files and associated crop-ability so to speak. That said, one area where the R could use some improvement is in the speed department. After all, it was never designed to be a wildlife camera; Its bread and butter was always resolution with landscape, portrait and studio photographers making the most use of all the extra…

Wedding photography is a blend of genres, sort of a marriage (pun intended) between portrait, street, and occasionally even landscape photography. There’s always a bit of mystery when it comes to lighting, and we need to be ready for anything. In a reception hall, you may dimly chandeliers, bright LEDs, or even pulsating, colorful strobes from the DJ booth. All of these variables, and you may not…
