  • The Cameras You Don’t Need
    by Alex Cooke on 20th February 2026 at 12:03

    You don’t need a shelf full of cameras to make strong images, yet it’s easy to end up with one. The real question isn’t which model is best, but why you own what you own. Coming to you from James Popsys, this reflective video walks through his personal lineup of cameras. Popsys is blunt about it. One camera is enough. Two, if paid work demands a backup. Beyond that, every extra body becomes cost, complication, or both. Switching between different systems can slow you down. Buttons move. Menus change. Moments pass while you check a setting you thought you memorized. [Read More]

  • Photographing the Agami Heron: A Rare Encounter in a Drying Amazon
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 20th February 2026 at 23:28

    We tend to think of the Amazon rainforest as the moist, fresh-green lungs of our planet. An endless ecosystem constantly nourished by life-giving rain, threaded with thousands of rivers, oxbow lakes, and lagoons. This image of the Amazon as a place with a more or less stable, humid climate held true for millions of years. Unfortunately, extreme weather swings are becoming increasingly common in this cradle of biodiversity beneath the world’s longest mountain range.

  • What Makes For Good Bokeh in Photography?
    by Jason Polak on 19th February 2026 at 01:09

    Good bokeh on a lens is a bit complicated. It might seem like you can just take a portrait with a blown-out background, and if it looks good, then the lens you're using must have good bokeh. But the truth is a bit more complicated than that.

  • Photography News: Tripod Sales, 3rd-Party Lens Rumors
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 16th February 2026 at 06:04

    Yesterday, I listened to a very inspiring interview with the wonderful photographer Jan Jirkovský. Although I would classify him as a documentary photographer, he does not consider himself to be one. His reasoning was that documentary photographers usually focus on sad and serious topics, whereas he wants his photographs of people to capture the joy of life. Even in places such as psychiatric hospitals or prisons.

  • January 2026 Photo Contest Winners: Rhythm and Repetition
    by Rob Wood (Admin) on 17th February 2026 at 16:00

    We're happy to announce the winner of January's competition, “Rhythm And Repetition.” Kim captured this stunning photo of a Zebra with striking repetitive patterns and has composed the image in a way the focus is limited to the repeating patterns and the rhythm created as a result. Keeping just the eyes in the frame has allowed the viewer to focus on the interesting patterns and how they work as a powerful compositional tool. Congratulations on capturing a very effective Rhythm and Repetition photo Kim! The post January 2026 Photo Contest Winners: Rhythm and Repetition appeared first on Light Stalking.

  • A First Look At The DJI Air 3S
    by Jason Row on 17th February 2026 at 13:00

    As drone fliers we are used to the ever increasing regulation of our hobby/profession. So in 2025 when the UK’s CAA announced it would be changing the rules on UK drone flying, I was concerned but not surprised. However when the new rules were finally announced it wasn’t as bad as feared and in many respects it was a positive move. The post A First Look At The DJI Air 3S appeared first on Light Stalking.
