Hello friends,
It's been a long, long, long time since Fotogario we were not writing an article about analog photographySpecifically since 2016, when I wrote about a medium format camera, the Pentacon Six, which I was testing. But the fact is that I've never stopped taking analog photos. In fact, over the last few years, I've been increasing my collection of analog cameras. So, coinciding with a visit to the mini-zoo I made this summer, I'm leaving you with my comments and experiences with the Nikon FM2, possibly one of the best analog cameras of all time. Want to know why? Read on.
It is not easy to see the king of the night in broad daylight. The eagle owls They are birds of prey, it's true, but nocturnal birds of prey. They are the kings of stealth and darkness. That's why I was so surprised when a few months ago, at the beginning of summer, I came across several eagle owl chicks along with their parents. For a few days, I was able to observe these powerful birds of prey on their rocky perches as they scanned their territory and learned their parents' hunting techniques. Would you like to learn more about these beautiful birds?

It was very windy (as always in this region), very cold (as almost always in this region), and a kind of sleet was falling that chilled the bones to the marrow. But none of that mattered. For the first time since I had visited this lagoon, I had found myself face to face with a small group of bustardsIt had taken four years to film them, but I finally succeeded.

Hello friends,
These are strange times we're living in, aren't they? With the restrictions and lockdowns resulting from the global epidemic, Fotogario has had to restrict photography trips.

On this occasion I want to talk to you about one of these tricks, which can help us locate wildlife and sometimes, get some really interesting photos. It is about camera trappingDon't know what it is? Well, keep reading.
Hello friends,
On many occasions I am asked what photographic equipment It's what I use. What camera model, what type of lenses I use, why I use that equipment and not another, etc. That's why I've decided to write a series of articles about the equipment I usually use. Yes. You read that right. A series of articles. I use a lot of equipment, not always the same on every trip or getaway to nature, and it's difficult for me to summarize it all in a single article. So here's the first one. What photographic material I usually use? First delivery.
