• Why the Biggest NCAA Basketball Game of the Year Was Barely Photographed
    by Jeremy Gray on 3rd March 2026 at 23:29

    In October, the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) warned photographers against rights-grabbing credentialing agreements after The Gazelle Group, a major firm known for its sports coverage, offered credentials for sporting events in exchange for irrevocable, free use of photos taken by credentialed photographers.

    by Ted Kritsonis on 3rd March 2026 at 18:11

    When it comes to Tecno’s Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, the company describes it as a “phone that grows on demand”. A magnetic-based system that allows users to stack components -- including various cameras -- onto the back of the phone makes it highly adaptable. At least in theory. [Read More]

  • The Anxiety of the Archive: The Heavy Burden of Digital Hoarding
    by Alex Cooke on 3rd March 2026 at 22:03

    Every photographer knows the notification. Storage Almost Full. It pops up on your computer or your phone, and instead of mild annoyance, you feel something closer to dread. Not because hard drives are expensive. They aren't. A 4 TB external drive costs less than a decent dinner for two. The dread comes from knowing what's actually sitting on those drives.  [Read More]

  • The Most Important Skill in Street Photography Has Nothing to Do With Your Camera
    by Alex Coghe on 3rd March 2026 at 17:09

    Street photography is about decisions, not perfection. That’s the difference between a picture and a moment that stays alive.  The street doesn’t give you time to adjust your settings, fix your framing, or wait for better light. It gives you a fraction of a second and asks one simple question: are you ready to choose? Every strong street photograph starts with a decision. To stop. To move. To react. To trust your instinct. Miss that moment and it’s gone forever. The Photograph [Read More]

  • Stop Correcting and Start Directing Your Colors
    by Mujahid Ur Rehman on 3rd March 2026 at 16:03

    Why do some photographs feel like a fleeting memory while others possess the weight and atmosphere of a cinematic masterpiece? Let's discuss the subtle shift in editing techniques that transforms a standard edit into a truly silver screen experience. Kosta Bratsos shows why your photo editing doesn't look cinematic in this video and takes us through four specific pillars that define a high-end filmic look. He touches on the importance of creating a consistent emotional mood and the necessity of separating the subject from the background to tell a clear story. [Read More]

  • DXO Gives Photographers a Major Update with PureRAW 6
    by Mel Martin on 3rd March 2026 at 14:03

    DxO PureRAW has been a go-to item in the workflow of photographers for years. PureRAW launched back in 2021, designed as a tool to preprocess Raw files before they go into an editor. The software de-noises your image, then corrects for defects in your optical path or the sensor. To do this, DxO maintains an extensive database of lenses and sensors so it can match your equipment to the corrections. What's New?This latest version of PureRAW, version 6, has some extensive improvements that seem to me to be a bigger leap than some of the previous versions.

  • Which Lens for Photographing People: Prime or Zoom?
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 3rd March 2026 at 22:31

    Not so long ago, my answer to the title question would have come out almost automatically: a prime lens, of course! Just a few decades ago, zoom lenses suffered from a whole range of optical compromises that made their use for portraiture and documentary photography somewhat questionable. But today? If your budget allows, you can buy a standard zoom with an f/2 aperture whose optical quality rivals — or even surpasses — many prime lenses, and instead of carrying four lenses, you can get away with just one. And yet, the popularity of prime lenses doesn’t seem to be declining. Quite the opposite. So which one is better for photographing people?

  • Photography News: A Roundup from the CP+ Trade Show
    by Spencer Cox on 2nd March 2026 at 04:22

    I find that winter is a great time to look back through photos taken during the summer. And vice versa – I’m always working on my coldest photos during the hottest months. Although it has been unseasonably warm in Colorado this year, I still found myself revisiting some photos from last July earlier this week. The bright greens aren’t a color I’ll see out here in nature for another month or two, but the joy of photography is that their vibrance can be recorded for us to enjoy no matter what month it is. I hope that March brings you some good photos and interesting moments. February certainly had a lot of activity in the photography world.

    Despite what it may look like, today's article is a success story. But it sure didn't start that way. Maybe you remember a short article that we published last year called "Our Printer Is Here!" Well, the exclamation mark at the end of that title turned out to be a little optimistic.

  • Leica Q3 Review: The Ultimate Compact Camera?
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 26th February 2026 at 02:27

    Leica cameras, with their century-long history, are masters at tugging on our emotional heartstrings. But can they also satisfy the pragmatic side of our nature? After all, a camera is, first and foremost, a tool for making photographs. So, I set my emotions aside and put the most expensive compact camera on the market, the Leica Q3, to the test.

    There are actually many reasons why you might want to take a tripod, beyond shooting at night. Today we are going to explore some of them.

A cheap tripod will put you off for life. Buy a good one and you will understand why tripods matter more than you think.

  • Does High ISO Matter Anymore?
    by Jason Row on 24th February 2026 at 13:00

    Some changes in photographic technology seem to happen at breakneck pace, others slowly, almost imperceptibly. High ISO noise is one of the latter. That’s because it’s actually a combination of evolving technologies that have reduced its importance in day to day photography. Today I am going to give you my opinion on why high ISO no longer matters. The post Does High ISO Matter Anymore? appeared first on Light Stalking.
