- The Guardian presents winners of the Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The exhibit runs from Oct. 11 to June 29, 2025, in London.
- Finalists for the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have been announced. Winners will be announced on Dec. 10. Voting for the People's Choice Award runs from Sept. 26 to Oct. 31.
- In Historic Drought Marks Amazon's Parched Landscape, Bruno Kelly documents the most intense and widespread drought the country has experienced since records began in 1950.

- In Nikkor Nuggets, Thom Hogan plays around with the database he's created of autofocus Z-mount lenses. Prices, for example, range from $120 to $15,499.
