Kyle Cooper is a staff photographer for the Colorado Rockies MLB team and goes by @kylecoopah on Instagram. The photo above, shot by Cooper and published here courtesy of the Colorado Rockies, was shot on a Canon EOS 1D X Mark II with a 400mm f/2.8 lens. “This was shot through a chain-link fence in our warning track suite at Coors Field,” Cooper told PetaPixel. “I took the hood off to let the sun flare really do its thing.”
Russell Shakespeare shows pride with his @russell_shakespeare_leica username on Instagram. The photo above was shot with the Leica M6 and Elmarit 28mm lens. “I was going through some old film the other day and came across this photo of my surfing buddy Jim and his dog Salty,” Shakespeare said to PetaPixel through email. “We had been down the beach for a surf and this was on the way home.”
To capture the moment, Shakespeare had been preparing for 25 years. At least that’s how long he said he’s always had a camera on him. “I use digital for most of my professional work but still have a very strong connection with film for my personal work,” he added. Shakespeare specializes in magazine portraiture and documentary photography and is a Leica Ambassador for the M10-R.
Tony Santos, or @tonysantosphotography on Instagram, is a landscape photographer based in Madeira, Portugal. Santos shot this image in Ribeira da Janel with a Sony a7 II and Laowa 12mm lens along with the K&F Concept PRO ND8 filter and K&F Concept TC2335 tripod.
Hallie Daly, found on Instagram as @dalywildlife, is a bird photographer and works as a wildlife conservation biologist on the Hawaiian island of Kaua‘i. She employs the use of a Nikon D850 and Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 ED VR for her striking and intimate images of wildlife. For this photo, the baby Laysan Albatross was in a patch of sunlight amongst the shade and Daly seized the opportunity for a low-key image to be created.
