As you know, nature photography isn’t easy. Most of us get excited when we simply see wildlife or a gorgeous landscape. But simply seeing it isn’t why we photograph. We lug our gear and tripods, travel great distances and keep crazy hours because we want the perfect shot. The number of times we encounter perfection
I want to review this Disc-O-Bed which is a new product that I got to test a couple of times this year. I want to touch on what I really like about it and talk about what it is and how to use it. First of all, you can make it into a couple different
To obtain excellent-quality, tack-sharp nature images, I pose two scenarios: Wildlife: Is the animal still or moving? How big in the frame does the subject appear? What focal length is attached to the camera? Is a tripod or beanbag utilized? How much light is there? Landscapes: Is there a stiff wind? Do you need a

Let’s be honest: getting your tripod level can be a tedious, time-consuming process. It can also make or break an outdoor photo. Missing out on great light as you fumble with a tripod’s legs while trying to get the horizon straight can be extremely frustrating, which is why the new Benro Theta is so innovative.
With its ergonomic, supportive design and durable frame, the Helinox Chair Zero has ranked among our favorite camp chairs for several seasons running. Light enough for backpacking yet comfy enough for campfire hangs, the Chair Zero is often copied by other brands — but never truly duplicated. Now, Helinox drops a larger version of the
The Fujifilm X-H2S—which since its introduction has been joined by the higher-resolution X-H2—is a fascinating successor to 2018’s X-H1. At that time, the Fujifilm X-H1 was an outlier in the Fujifilm X Series lineup. The camera was larger, featured a bigger grip and sported a large information display on top. It looked like a hybrid
If you’ve been around the mountain biking scene for a decade or three, you might associate the Pacific Northwest’s Kona Bicycle Co. with brawny big-hit rigs like the Stab, the Stinky, and the Stinky Dee-Lux. And with barrier-breaking shredders hucking them from unthinkable heights during the nascent freeride era of the late ‘90s and early
If you spend enough time outdoors, you’ll eventually run into bad weather. In fact, it’s inevitable. But just because it rains doesn’t mean you have to pack up your campsite and go. There are plenty of ways to endure or survive — or however, you want to describe it to your friends later on —
Over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. So why don’t more water photos exist compared to the magnitude of “topographic” pics of mountains, hills, plains, valleys, craters, canyons and caves? Some reasons are obvious and I know my question is rhetorical. But given water’s abundance, allow this week’s tip to motivate
When Polaris launched the RZR XP 10 years back, it was trying to be a little bit of everything to everyone. The sport side-by-side was the original, but being the original meant having to cast a wide net. The success of that model pushed Polaris to build vehicles for more specific functions. Like the tight
Tripods are one of the most dependable pieces of gear an outdoor photographer can own. They provide steady, stabilizing support for your camera set-up to help you capture sharp shots no matter the lighting or wind conditions. In some ways, an adjustable tripod is like a trusted friend you can lean on for your most
Speaking for myself, it’s easy to forget that New England has mountains. Sure, they may not be the Colorado Rockies, but they offer plenty of opportunity for lonesome backcountry adventures, as the latest vid from ultrarunner Andrew Drummond makes clear. In his latest point-of-view style video, Drummond tackles the Presidential Range of the state’s White
Luke Cuenco 04.11.23 As we approach warmer weather in the spring and summer months, it’s the perfect time to crack open some cold brews with friends and family. Whether that’s at home or out at one of your favorite destinations, canned beer just doesn’t go down the same way as it does from an open-top glass
Chevrolet is keeping its mouth closed on exactly what this camoed truck is. It parked it in front of a group of top automotive journalists on the first drive of the 2023 Colorado ZR2. It is unmistakably the highly anticipated second-generation Colorado ZR2 Bison. Yep, as we all expected, the next generation Colorado ZR2 will
