    by Jeremy Gray on 25th February 2026 at 21:30

    Many exceptional photographers captured jaw-dropping photos of world-class athletes performing incredible feats at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

However, a select group of Getty Images photographers took a very different approach, and documented the Winter Olympics with thermal, infrared, and vintage film cameras, and using unique processing techniques.

  • 10 Photography Myths That Refuse to Die
    by Alex Cooke on 25th February 2026 at 17:03

    Photography has been around long enough to accumulate a thick layer of conventional wisdom, and much of it is wrong. These myths get passed from forum to forum, YouTube comment to YouTube comment, and camera-store counter to camera-store counter with the confidence of established fact. The problem isn't that they're entirely baseless; most contain a grain of truth buried under decades of misapplication. The problem is that they cost photographers money, waste their time, and actively prevent them from improving. Here are ten of the most persistent offenders.  [Read More]

  • 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.

  • The Year of Gear
    by Jason Polak on 24th February 2026 at 00:50

    In 2025, I did something new: test a lot of gear. Not only was it interesting work, but I also got to stock up on some items that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise, like an 85mm lens. However, going forward, I'll be testing a lot less gear. Why is that?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
