To promote its Birds as Art destination workshop, Canon has published a seven-part tutorial series, hosted by renowned bird photographer Arthur Morris.
In the tutorials, which average around 6-minutes in length, Morris breaks down a number of important techniques, lessons and settings to take into consideration when...
These days, it seems like everybody is crazy about camera-equipped aerial drones such as the DJI Phantom series. And while we probably all agree that multicopters are great for achieving beautiful aerial video footage, it seems that the "other direction" on the vertical axis is getting much less attention than it deserves.
Because let's be honest,...
Rhino populations in Africa -- especially the black rhino -- are still critically endangered despite ongoing conservation efforts and positive population growth in the past several decades. Rhino horn is still in demand across the world, with poachers going to extreme lengths to locate and track their next kill.

A few years back, a pair of brothers from the UK designed a special, remote control rig for getting up close and personal with animals in the wild. Dubbed the BeetleCam, it allowed photographers to drive a set of wheels up to their subject, and not be worried about being mauled to death. Now the BeetleCam Hybrid has been...
Earlier this year, we talked about photographer Steve Winter, and his incredible year long journey to photograph a cougar in Griffith Park, L.A.. Now National Geographic has published the shots that he took, and they're more amazing than you could believe.
The article reveals some...
Humpback whales are enormous. Just truly, astonishingly big. Most of us won't ever be lucky enough to get close to one in the wild, but for cameraman Chris Coates, a recent encounter ended with a very close call.
Coates was diving off the eastern coast of Africa at his favorite speardiving spot. As reported by GrindTV,...
Shooting wild animals takes a certain amount of patience, but National Geographic photographer Steve Winter has put even the most tolerant photographer to shame with a photo of a mountain lion in Los Angeles that took him 12 months to capture.
Winter made it his mission...
Happy Friday, everyone! Here's a nice story to set you off on your weekend photography adventures. It seems that Mario Aldecoa was photographing alligators during a night shoot at the Everglades Alligator Farm eight months ago, when one aggressive gator leapt out of the water and grabbed Aldecoa's entire camera rig,...
Ever wondered what animals get up to when we're not watching? A wildlife video from Kananaskis Country park near Calgary has gone viral, thanks to the adorable view it's given us of a sleuth of bears using a tree for backrubs.
As cute as this video might be, there's actually a lot more going on here than a group of...
Photographer Dan Milner learned the hard way that it's best to keep a safe distance from the wild animals you intend to photograph. In the below video from Live Leak, Milner stops by the side of the road to photograph a stag -- which is an adult male deer without a mate -- while crouching just a few feet away from the...
What is it about GoPro cameras that make them so appetizing to wild animals? In February, we showed you this crazy clip of a lion munching on a GoPro mounted on a miniature robotic tank.
Now, here's a Grizzly trying to make a snack out of naturalist and wildlife documentarian Brad Josephs' GoPro, which he had set up on...
Ever wonder who attached the giant Blue Whale to the ceiling of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City? Well, the museum has put a fantastic photo archive online so you can see all the behind-the-scenes magic from its early days.
Along with a shot of the Blue Whale from 1969, we've posted a few of our...
Yes, perhaps, the Internet is filled with too many cat photos but a new series of images called "Big Cat, Small Cat," offers a clever take on everyday feline snapshots. The series, captured by photographer George Logan, is part of a new marketing campaign from Whiskas pet food.
The computer manipulated photos show...
GoPro cameras are popular because their portability and ruggedness lets them capture extreme footage in places that didn't seem possible just a few years ago. Yesterday, for instance, we shared this video of a GoPro that was nearly swallowed by a hungry lioness, but was still able to record remarkable inside-the-mouth...
Lions certainly seem to be prone to gnawing on perfectly good cameras. Or maybe it's those pesky photographers who keep putting their gear in places where lions mistake it for food.
Last November, we told you about this lioness who tried to take a bite out of photographer Ed Hetherington's Canon 5D Mark II. Now here's...
Amongst the recent winners of the International Loupe Awards, we were struck by this photo showing a Leopard Seal about to gobble up a penguin in Antarctica.
The stunning image by underwater photographer Amos Nachoum captured fifth place in the Science and Nature category of the awards. (Yes, we...
When producers of a BBC documentary about penguins in Antarctica wanted to get up close and personal while filming these cute creatures they knew they they'd need spy technology worthy of James Bond. So, they created "Penguin Cam," a group of life-like penguins equipped with cameras, which could capture the daily world...
