  • Great Photographers Miss Constantly: That’s the Point
    by Alex Cooke on 22nd January 2026 at 15:04

    You can own the same camera as your heroes and still come home with flat, forgettable frames, even on a trip that should have been a sure thing. The tension in this video is whether the real advantage has nothing to do with gear and everything to do with how you decide what a photo is supposed to say. [ Read More ]

  • Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG II | Art vs Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM: Sharpness Isn’t the Whole Story
    by Alex Cooke on 22nd January 2026 at 13:04

    A lens like the Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG II | Art isn’t just about getting more light, it changes the way depth and perspective sit together in a single frame. If you shoot people, street, or any scene where the background needs to fall away without turning into mush, 35mm at f/1.2 can be the difference between a photo that feels ordinary and one that has bite.

  • Upgrade Urge Test: When A New Camera Actually Helps
    by Alex Cooke on 22nd January 2026 at 10:04

    That itch to upgrade hits hardest when the camera on your desk is already “good,” but your photos still feel stuck. Using the Sony a7R V as a real example, tTom the emotional noise that makes a checkout button feel like a solution. [ Read More ]

  • Five Fstoppers-Exclusive iOS Shortcuts Every Photographer Needs (And How to Use Them)
    by Alex Cooke on 21st January 2026 at 22:04

    Your iPhone is more powerful than you think. Buried in iOS is an app called Shortcuts that most people ignore entirely, and those who do open it often close it immediately, overwhelmed by the programming-like interface. That's a mistake. Shortcuts can transform tedious, repetitive photography tasks into single-tap operations, and once you understand the basics, you'll wonder how you ever managed without them. I've made five useful Shortcuts exclusively for Fstoppers readers. [ Read More ]

  • How to Get Buttery Smooth Backgrounds in Lightroom
    by Alex Cooke on 21st January 2026 at 20:04

    Noise and messy detail can ruin an otherwise strong subject, especially in wildlife shots where the background turns into a crunchy distraction the moment you lift exposure. This video focuses on a Lightroom approach that gets the background looking smoother without turning the subject into plastic. [ Read More ]

  • 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.

  • How Visual Echoes Can Improve Your Photos
    by Spencer Cox on 14th January 2026 at 22:24

    It's always a treat to see a good photo that employs a "visual echo" - when different parts of the photo call out to one another and make the whole composition feel interconnected. Not all scenes will have visual echoes that you can photograph, but they're sure worth searching for.

  • Nikon Z9 Firmware 5.30 Is a Big Leap
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 12th January 2026 at 21:09

    Since its launch in 2021, the Nikon Z9 has received a steady stream of firmware updates that added a number of genuinely excellent features. Lately, however, it felt as if the update wind had died down—or perhaps more accurately, as if Nikon’s flagship had been sailing with partially reefed sails. Indeed, some really useful features such as the in-body focus limiter, pixel shift, or maximum aperture live view were available only on lower-tier models like the Z8 or even the Z6 III. However, firmware update 5.30—released in December of 2025—not only closes some of these gaps, but also introduces several entirely new features. In my opinion, it puts the Z9 back at the very front of the fleet.

  • 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.
