A Macro morning Adventure A wildlife photographer's deep dive into the tiny world! I swapped my telephoto for a 105mm macro to shoot frogs and spiders. Macro gives you creative control over light that big-glass shooting doesn't. My secret? A simple AK diffuser. Plus, a bonus hummingbird shot using the macro lens! Shawn Thomas Photography • macro
When Color Gets in the Way of the Story Wildlife photography is all about the color... until it isn't. Most frames fail the B&W test. I break down the two things I look for in an image to decide if it's worthy of monochrome. Shawn Thomas Photography • Photography Tips
National Aviary A Trip to the National Aviary The National Aviary turned out to be a perfect birthday gift for a kid obsessed with birds and a great excuse for me to do some portrait work I’d never get to try in the wild. From open habitats to conservation programs, this place surprised me in all the right ways. Shawn Thomas Photography • Photographic Adventures
It's got a lot of detail, so I guess it's an ok image to feature. I don't take product shots. Review: The Nikon Z 600mm f/4 TC I love the Nikon 600mm f4, but the real question is do you need it? In this review we’ll look at real comparisons, the questions to ask yourself, and the tradeoffs that come with a sixteen thousand dollar lens. Shawn Thomas Photography • Gear Review
16:9 is pretty close to a pano, and it's where I started cutting my teeth with them.

By stripping away empty space and leaning into wide framing, panos can highlight motion, symmetry, and environment in ways a standard crop just can’t. Shawn Thomas Photography • Photo Editing
