We’re wild about them
One of the many reasons wild animals are fascinating is because of their rarity. Because we don’t see most of them on a daily basis, they’re captivating to look at (sorry pigeons, we’re over you).
Although we'll probably never see leopards in our backyards hunting lil’ Mittens, the animal kingdom is a click away because of wildlife photographers. Here are some photographers who capture stunning photos of wildlife.

#BitsChat is a live Twitter chat hosted by our Camera Bits team. During these chats, we invite some special people in the industry to talk about all things photography.

We also invited followers of the conversation to jump in as well. After all, this is a discussion, and everyone is welcome! Here’s a wrap-up of the chat, in order of the questions asked:
Before the questions began, Mick predicted that Morgan had added some followers to his already massive following:

September 29, 2015

One of my favorite pieces at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art @lacma is "Urban Light" by sculptor Chris Burden. It is right on the street and absolutely it is meant to be interacted with, to be photographed even. A real 21st century art project. And such fun. -- For example, here's a shot I took of gorgeous @michelle.page there. Can't wait to see it again later this year. #noedit #lacma

My only regret with my purchase of Photo Mechanic is that I didn't start using it years ago. It's cut hours off my workflow. Worth every penny!

@marcoarment Photo Mechanic, dude. You’ll wonder how you lived without it. (Use it for initial edits/cuts, then ACR for RAW conversions.)

Scavenger Hunt 2015
We had a great time at the Lensbaby & Camera Bits Scavenger Hunt 2015! Earlier this month, we teamed up with our good friends at Lensbaby to give out some big prizes and to let some local photographers have some fun with our products.
The photographers in attendance had the chance to use Lensbaby’s favorite lenses on a scavenger hunt in Portland’s Cathedral Park. After capturing some unique shots, they headed inside for some cool refreshments and a hands-on Photo Mechanic workshop.
Congrats to the winner of the top prizes, Bert Steele! He took the winning photo you see below of the St. Johns bridge.
Check out some other cool shots from the hunt.
