In northern Croatia, not far from the Slovenian bo In northern Croatia, not far from the Slovenian border, the mountains of the Dinaric Alps are covered in vast forests of beech and silver fir.

🏔️🌲🌲 Slopes, valleys and clearings form a particularly favourable habitat for the brown bear, providing food, shelter and suitable places to spend the winter.

Its presence is often sensed before it is seen: a sound among the branches, movement in the shadows, then the dark shape of a bear moving silently between the trees.

🐾 For the past two years, we have returned to these forests for our workshops. We have waited in the silence of the forest, watched the light shift beneath the canopy and photographed brown bears emerging from the shadows.

We are also glad to have helped many photographers discover these forests—not only those who joined our workshops, but also those who came to know this place through our photographs and stories.

These photographs are also a quiet farewell, and our way of thanking a landscape that has accompanied two important seasons of our work. 🐻🍃🫶🏼

Chi mi conosce sa quanto abbia sempre apprezzato l'alta risoluzione della serie R di Sony. Non amo croppare ma amo sapere di poterlo fare senza rinunciare alla qualità. E con la nuova Sony α7R VI il margine è davvero impressionante: nel video potete vedere fin dove mi sono spinto partendo dal file originale.

Ma i megapixel sono solo una parte della storia.

⚡ Autofocus, pre-scatto, nuova batteria e soprattutto la velocità del nuovo sensore fully stacked. Su alcune di queste cose ho già parecchio da dire ma per questo primo capitolo lascio che siano le immagini a parlare.

🌍🐦 Buona vita ai giovani gruccioni che ho avuto la fortuna di fotografare. Il viaggio è appena iniziato.

⛰️ Yesterday, among the rocks of the Dolomites, I was fortunate enough to find this horn sheath, still largely intact.
Discoveries like this are part of what makes every walk in the wild such a deeply moving experience. 🍃🫶🏼

Not every day in nature calls for a backpack full Not every day in nature calls for a backpack full of gear.
Sometimes, all you need is a camera that's always ready. 📷✨ One you can pull out of your backpack in an instant and be ready to shoot.

That was my first impression of the new Sony RX10 V after spending some time with it.

I don't see it as a replacement for my main camera system, but as a travel companion. The camera you choose when you want to travel light, without the extra bulk, and be ready for every opportunity.

Whether you're on a journey, out on a hike, or simply spending a sunday in your favourite place. ☀️

"Lake" 🏞️✨ Some of its stories are easy to see. Ot "Lake" 🏞️✨
Some of its stories are easy to see.
Others are hidden in the smallest details.

Among them is a behaviour that has fascinated scientists for decades: great crested grebes feeding feathers to their chicks. 💭 

It may seem unusual, but both adults and chicks regularly ingest feathers. They are thought to aid digestion and contribute to the formation of pellets that trap indigestible material such as fish bones. 🪶🫶🏼

Around them, life on the lake continues.

Nests are guarded, chicks are raised, herons return to their colonies, and another day unfolds on the water.

A reminder that even the most familiar places can still surprise us. 🍃☀️

📷 Why do we photograph wildlife? I asked this ques 📷 Why do we photograph wildlife?
I asked this question a few weeks ago, but not many answers came in..

Personally, I believe wildlife photography did not emerge simply to "take beautiful pictures of animals." From its very beginnings, it has served some very specific purposes:

1 🌍 Documenting the natural world.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, photography made it possible for the first time to show wild animals in their natural habitats. Images by pioneers such as George Shiras, published by National Geographic in 1906, helped change the way people viewed wildlife.

2 👀 Bringing people closer to a natural world they may never experience.
Photography allows us to observe places and species that many people will never encounter in person, making it a powerful tool for both understanding and connection.

3 🍃 Supporting conservation.
Today, this is probably one of its most important roles. Wildlife photography can inspire people to protect wildlife and help raise awareness. Many modern conservation efforts have been supported by the power of compelling images.

In a single sentence:
Wildlife photography exists to reveal what most people will never have the opportunity to see, create a connection with the natural world, and transform that connection into awareness and conservation.

It is interesting to note that this vision is far more closely linked to education and conservation than to the artistic or technical aspects of photography itself. Aesthetics matter, but they are a means, not the end.

So why do you photograph wildlife? 🐾✨
