Not even a month ago, we had the delightful privilege of looking at the winners of the Wildlife Photographer of The Year. Those nineteen pictures, selected among almost fifty thousand entries, are an absolute joy to look at on the screen — I can’t even imagine how much of a pleasure it would be to look at them in print! Luckily, the joy is far from over, and there are further pictures to look at and to vote for.

Wildlife photography is about to get pretty fascinating in parts of the world with autumn upon us! Thankfully, so many cameras these days can help us find animals and birds in the forest canopy since they're very hard to see.
Fujifilm is well-loved for the colors coming from the X-Trans sensors and film-inspired profiles. But, Fujifilm has lagged behind in terms of the smart autofocus and fast burst speeds coming from Canon, Sony, and Nikon’s flagships.
