  • 5 Reasons You Should Stop Shooting at Eye Level
    by Alex Cooke on 24th January 2026 at 22:04

    There is a moment early in every photographer's journey when they realize that simply pointing a camera at something interesting does not automatically produce an interesting photograph. The gap between what we see with our eyes and what the camera captures can feel impossibly wide. We stand in front of a stunning landscape or a compelling portrait subject, press the shutter, and somehow the resulting image falls flat. The scene that moved us in person becomes mundane in the frame. While there are countless technical explanations for this phenomenon, one of the most overlooked culprits is deceptively simple: we are shooting from the wrong height. [ Read More ]

  • Five Portrait Habits That Quietly Ruin Otherwise Good Photos
    by Alex Cooke on 24th January 2026 at 20:04

    A fast portrait lens can make it dangerously easy to lean on blur and call it style. The video focuses on the small portrait habits that quietly flatten your results, even when focus and exposure look “right.” [ Read More ]

  • Macro Photography on the Cheap
    by Neil Arthurs on 24th January 2026 at 17:04

    I wasn’t planning to shoot any macro photography that day because it is something I very rarely do. But I have such a huge respect for the macro masters I see and thought, "I would give it a proper go." After all, photography is very much about experimentation and creativity, so let's dive in, shall we? [ Read More ]

  • How to Create Believable Window Light Without a Window
    by Alex Cooke on 24th January 2026 at 14:34

    You can get “window light” even when there isn’t a usable window, and the difference between fake and believable usually comes down to a few small decisions. If you shoot portraits in a controlled space, this approach gives you a repeatable look without waiting on weather, time of day, or room layout. [ Read More ]

  • Flat Landscapes No More: The Simple Depth Fixes That Actually Work
    by Alex Cooke on 24th January 2026 at 12:04

    Your landscape can look incredible in person and still turn into a flat photo once you open it in Lightroom. The video breaks down why that mismatch happens and what to do about it when a scene feels “big” to your eyes but small on the screen. [ Read More ]

  • Manual Focus, Big Aperture: What the Thypoch Simera 75mm f/1.4 ASPH Gets Right
    by Alex Cooke on 24th January 2026 at 10:04

    An f/1.4 lens can make portraits look calm and intentional, but it can also punish mistakes in focus, corners, and color fringing. If you are considering a manual-focus short telephoto, the real question is what you gain in look and feel and what you quietly give up. [ Read More ]

  • Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air Field Review
    by Jason Polak on 25th January 2026 at 02:49

    When I hold one of Nikon’s APS-C cameras in my hand, I immediately think how well it would pair with a small prime. And although we’ve seen a couple of small primes from Nikon so far, like the Nikon Z DX 24mm f/1.7, we are lacking them at many useful focal lengths. So, I was quite excited to do a quick field test of the Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air APS-C lens for Nikon Z, which is also available for Sony E and Fuji X.

  • Field Testing the Nikon Z9, Z6 III, and ZR at -25°C
    by Michael Rübhausen on 23rd January 2026 at 00:56

    Today, I'll share with you a winter expedition into Norway’s Dovrefjell National Park, home to about 300 magnificent muskoxen. My journey took place in extreme Arctic conditions with temperatures around -25°C (-13°F). How did my cameras - the Nikon Z9, Z6 III, and ZR - hold up?

  • Huion Kamvas 16 Gen 3 Review
    by Jason Polak on 20th January 2026 at 17:57

    Most photographers edit their work with a mouse and keyboard while looking at a monitor. However, there are many devices that give a tactile feel to photo editing and drawing, such as pen tablets. Today, I'll review one such pen tablet: the Huion Kamvas 16 Gen 3, which retails for $459.

  • Photography News: Ricoh GR IV Monochrome Announcement, M4/3 Sales
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 19th January 2026 at 06:02

    Although photography speaks a clear and easily understood language, it is utterly silent — a balm for the soul in today’s noise-saturated world. Still, there are moments when I wish I could turn up the volume on an imaginary dial. This rarely happens when I look at a photograph of a person, but quite often when the subject is a bird — just like the Choco Toucan in the image below. Its open bill and the way its entire body is positioned suggest that it is filling a stretch of cloudforest with sound, and yet you hear nothing. This week, I wrote an article about that situation. But right now, let’s give voice to the photography news that surfaced this week.

  • The Spirit of Black and White Wildlife Photography
    by Massimo Vignoli on 18th January 2026 at 04:54

    Black and white wildlife photography is a radical choice to strip the subject of its literal appearance and reveal its essence. In this article, I'll explore how eliminating color can allow us to go beyond merely chronicling the moment in front of us, and instead embrace what I call the "Archetype."

  • Croaking and Yelping Toucans: When Photos Don’t Tell the Whole Story
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 17th January 2026 at 02:13

    Photography is a remarkable medium. In high-resolution photos, we can study every patch of skin, fur, or feather on an animal. High-speed burst shooting can capture fleeting moments of animal behavior in fractions of a second. What photography cannot capture, however, is sound—that vital yet invisible component of both animal and human existence without which an image may be incomplete. Today, using the example of two magnificent species of toucans inhabiting the western slopes of the Andes, I want to give you a glimpse of where photography does not tell the whole story.

  • Learning to See Like a Photographer
    by Jason Row on 20th January 2026 at 13:00

    There comes a point in your photographic learning curve when you realise that something is not progressing quite the way you had hoped. Often that is the creative element to your images. Sure they look good, great exposure and colour. They may be well composed but they are lacking that creative hook that many of your more experienced photographers are demonstrating. In short, you are taking photos not seeing them. The post Learning to See Like a Photographer appeared first on Light Stalking.
