It’s the holiday season, and Reto has come up with the perfect Christmas present for photographers.

- DxO Silver Efex Review: Black and White Without Chemicalsby Libor Vaicenbacher on 19th December 2025 at 00:57
It’s been a very long time since I last wound film onto a developing reel in a darkroom, mixed my developer, tempered it to the precise temperature, and then—like some alchemist—developed the film. Still, I can vividly recall those moments and, later, the excitement of darkroom printing under dim red light. But enough nostalgia. I gave away my darkroom gear long ago, and the smell of developer has been replaced by coffee sitting next to the computer on which I now edit black-and-white photographs using DxO Silver Efex.

- Secrets of Professional Photographers: An Interview with Petr Choduraby Libor Vaicenbacher on 16th December 2025 at 01:18
When someone says “sports photographer,” many of us probably imagine a row of long telephoto lenses crammed together in the corner of a stadium. In some ways, that image isn’t far from the truth. But there are sports that don’t have boundaries, safety nets, or predictable arenas — sports that take place in conditions most photographers will never experience.
- Photography News: Sony a7 V Dynamic Range, Mic Salesby Libor Vaicenbacher on 15th December 2025 at 03:27
We live in an age of extreme specialization. There are experts in bird bioacoustics, bacterial flagella, coprophagous insects. Even we photographers tend to pigeonhole ourselves as wildlife photographers, street photographers, sports photographers, landscape photographers, and who knows what else.
- Heipi K32 Tripod + KB60 Ballhead Reviewby Jason Polak on 13th December 2025 at 06:16
After the camera and lens, the next most essential tool for photographers is the tripod. Although I often dislike tripods because they take up so much space in my bag, the stability they provide is unmatched. Recently, I had the opportunity to test the Heipi K32 with the KB60 ballhead, a combination specifically designed for wildlife photography. How did it perform?
- Viltrox AF 85mm f/2.0 EVO Field Reviewby Libor Vaicenbacher on 11th December 2025 at 01:05
As humanity, we reportedly take more than five billion photos every single day, upwards of two trillion in a year. The most photographed subject in this enormous ocean of pictures? People and our faces. It’s no surprise, then, that the most crowded niche in the world of prime lenses is portrait glass. And indeed, among full-frame primes across brands, the 85mm focal length dominates by a wide margin.
- November 2025 Photo Contest Winners: The Power Of Scaleby Rob Wood (Admin) on 19th December 2025 at 13:00
We're happy to announce the winner of November's competition, “The Power Of Scale.” Tersha posted a photo that is a partial silhouette and one that is a great example of scale in photography. The image has a unique type of visual weight where the person is facing the right part of the frame, but feels balanced by the structure. Also, one can notice the feeling of "alone" in the photo and the composition emphasizes the emotion. The post November 2025 Photo Contest Winners: The Power Of Scale appeared first on Light Stalking.
