When choosing binoculars or scopes, a term that should be heavily considered is exit pupil. What is exit pupil, and what does it do? We're often focused on magnification and light gathering capabilities in optics, and these are essential for understanding how optics works, but overall viewing experience shouldn't be discounted.
If you look at any optic at arm's length, you'll see the small pinpoint sized window of light in the center of the eyepiece. Try this with various magnifications, and you'll likely notice a difference in the size of

Birds, they’re all around us. If you haven’t paid much attention to them, you’re not alone. But, once you do, you’ll have a hard time stopping. If you haven’t yet dabbled in bird watching, known colloquially as birding, we have just one question. Why not? Birding is the perfect way of partially disconnecting from the digital world we find ourselves in and connecting with nature through observation, and one of the most relaxing pastimes imaginable.
If you’re fascinated by our feathery friends but don’t know where to start, we’ve got you covered

It would be foolish to claim that there is only one way to take a portrait, but there are some accepted norms and basic camera settings that you should understand if portraiture is to become your area of photographic interest. Remember though, as you walk down your creative path, that a portrait is more than a headshot, more than a beautiful photo of your subject; it is an opportunity to get to know someone, to have a visual conversation with a person, and to use your photographic skills to pass that understanding of the person on to the

Imagine, if you will, a photo shoot. Your subject is a striped, orange cat bouncing off of the walls. You have your camera raised to your brow, finger on the trigger, waiting for the perfect pose. He turns his gaze toward you, but his head is constantly moving. No matter, you quickly fire a few frames, figuring that you finally nailed the shot. You check your shots, only to see a series of blurry portraits.
If this sounds like a situation you’ve been in before, we know the feeling. That’s why, today, we’re taking a look at settings for pet

Birding is, by definition, the recreational hobby of observing and identifying wild birds in their natural habitat. Finding birds is the easy part. Just go outside and stop, look, and listen, and you’ll notice our feathery friends like you’ve never seen before. But how do we identify them?
