When I get the chance, I like to have fun looking for biological nonsense in movies. Like when a Harris’s Hawk sits on the shoulder of a falconer in King Arthur’s retinue, or when an American Turkey Vulture circles in the first seconds of The Bridge on the River Kwai. I was similarly amused by the voices of South American antbirds singing in the Laotian jungle in Herzog’s Rescue Dawn. So I won’t pull your leg and confess that I took the following photo of Chamois not in their original habitat, the Alps, but on Studenec Hill in northern Bohemia. They were introduced there over a hundred years ago, and as you can see, they are reproducing successfully. What about the photography world? It seems that this week, tripods are reproducing successfully as well. Let’s take a look at them and some other photography news.

It’s been too long since Apple updated the iPhone selfie camera with a 12MP sensor. Since then, the company’s only improvements were software-related, with Photonic Engine and updates to Smart HDR.
While the iPhone 16 will be the first to bring an Apple Intelligence approach, only the iPhone 17 models will add the selfie camera upgrades users have long been waiting for. According to Haitong Securities analyst Jeff Pu, the 2025 iPhone 17 models will get a 24MP sensor with six plastic lens elements.
In comparison, the current iPhone 15 lineup has a 12MP front camera with five plastic lens elements. That...

I’ll upgrade to the iPhone 16 later this year, but I’m still unsure which model to buy. I’m considering the Plus and Pro Max sizes for the first time. It’s also my first time considering getting the base iPhone 16 or the Plus variant.
I’m upgrading to get access to Apple Intelligence when it eventually launches in the EU. But I have plenty of other reasons to want a new iPhone 16 this year and ditch my iPhone 14 Pro.
The key factor that will impact my buying decision isn’t the A18 processor, the screen size, or the number of cameras, but...
