Early next month I will be presenting a one hour online webinar on behalf of BenQ monitors on how to shoot the best wildlife photographs. The webinar is FREE and will include topics such as how to photograph Wildlife, best practice, the importance of colour calibration and even a little information on soft proofing for print. There will also be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation. The webinar will run February 17th 6:30pm Melbourne Australia time.

Join us with Joshua Holko on this live webinar where he shares his knowledge and experience on how to shoot the best wildlife photography, soft proofing for print, why calibration and colour accuracy matters, there’s also a chance for you to ask him any questions you may have at the end! Looking forward to everyone’s attendance!

Yesterday learned that one of my photographs from the inaugural SLA Awards has made the finals to represent Australia in the World Photographic Cup Nature category.  This is the second time one of my photographs has made the finals representing Australia in this prestigious competition. Last time it was the reportage category with one of my photographs taking out the Bronze Medal.  Final judging of the winning images will be in April this year.

The WPC was founded in 2013 as a cooperative effort by The Federation of European Photographers (FEP) and Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Its singular goal is to unite photographers in a spirit of friendship and cooperation. A Governing Committee has been created to conduct the ongoing affairs of the competition, also supported by UAPP (United Asian Professional Photography) and AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography). The brotherhood and sisterhood of photography is a bond that transcends language, culture, and geography. That’s the foundation behind the World Photographic Cup, an one of a kind international team competition. Sure, there are lots of other competitions, but there is just one World Photographic Cup.

Very pleased to have made the top 25 Outdoor Photography Blogs. This unexpected news that my blog made the top 25 came as quite a pleasant surprise . I am not normally into these sort of popularity contests, but it is nice to be recognised for consistency and content.

This list is an attempt to highlight some of the best blogs about outdoor photography that can be found on the web. The ranking was compiled tracking hundreds of photographer’s blogs. The top outdoor photography sites that made this list are ranked according to Alexa (33.3%), Domain Authority (33.3%), Page Authority (33.3%) indicators. The list doesn’t involve our personal opinion in any way.

The ranking is updated once every year with new blogs and up-to-dated scores. The data was collected in December 2020 for the current list.

To all who made it to the list, a big congratulations! You deserved it for the great job you are doing with your blog. For those who didn’t make it this time, don’t get yourself down. Study what the other blogs are doing and get ready for the next update!

The book includes a selection of photographs of wild wolves photographed during the last weeks of Autumn, on the cusp of the seasonal transition to Winter. The collection includes more than forty photographs of a young wolf pack coming of age as it learns to survive in the dynamic and rapidly changing Arctic wilderness on the border between Finland and Russia. A video preview of the book can be watched below.
