Arthur Morris is one of the best wildlife photographers of the world. He regularly publish a "bulletin" (newsletter) with his latest photos and a lot of interesting information about nature and photography. 

You can read all the AM's bulletins on his website (bulletin archives), and you can subscribe (for free!) to the bulletin. If you like wildlife photography, I highly recommend to subscribe - you will be enthusiast!

Some interesting news for Canon users! The source is not official, but I am pretty sure about his reliability. (update 01 october 2006: well...I was wrong ;-)...the new 1 is going to be annunced in 2007)

- The next Canon 1 series will be announced on September 2006, at Photokina. It has a 22 megapixel fullframe CMOS sensor (still a bayer-type, Canon is working on a different sensor but it won't be ready in the next future). It has a new AF system and 5 or more FPS. The price will be quite lower than the 1Ds (I expect it to be near $5,000).

- The Canon 1Ds Mark II is currently (unofficially) discontinued; the stock supplies had been calculated to last until the new 1. The 1D MarkII-N, instead, will remain in production for some time, even after the introduction of the new 1.

- The Canon 30D is not the last APS-C camera from Canon. There will be many other consumer models, and it is possible that Canon will announce even an higher end model, with specifications similar to the rumored 35D (10+ megapixels, 7FPS). Canon is planning new EF-S lenses, too.

- The price of the 5D will drop various times during the year. The next drop will be on April 01: Canon will announce a $ 300 rebate that brings the actual price to $ 2600! By the end of the year, it will be near $2300.

That's all :-) My suggestions: if you are interested in a Canon 1 series camera, wait six months until the next 1 is available. If you are interested in the Canon 5D, you just have to wait 1 week to save $300 :-)

The macro world offers a multitude of fascinating and colorful subjects. The close view reveals details that you rarely see by naked eye: photographing with a macro lens is like exploring another planet!

The second article of the "In The Field" series is now online: Macro Photography 
 

Some of mine photos and articles had been published on the March issue of the Italian magazine "Fotocamere Digitali". More details in the publications page.

Thom Hogan has published his review of the Nikon D200, the review of Nikkor 18-200 VR and some thoughts about PMA 2006.

Last but not least: the Ferrari Testarossa that graces the cover of JuzaPhoto is not my car! I thought that it was obvious but - given the number of e-mails I received - it wasn't ;-)

Dpreview has published the detailed review of the new Olympus E-330, the first SLR camera with live preview and tilt and swivel LCD. 

By the way - B&H has a new discount code, "psmar" : type the word "psmar" in the search engine of B&H to get a list of nearly 300 discounted products.

The flowers are one of the most appealing subject for many nature photographers, because they have a great variety of shapes and colors. They are not difficult subjects, but you need to know the basic techniques to capture their beauty...

The spring is coming: read the article Flora Photography to be ready to take beautiful flower photos :-)
 

BTW - sorry if I haven't update the website in the latest weeks, but I have been busy with work. That said, I'll publish soon a new series of articles about fauna, flora, landscapes and macro, other than new photos taken with the 600 f/4 :-)

I'll keep you updated with the next publications - I'm working on some interesting projects :-)
