  • 3D-Printed Kit Gives the DJI Osmo Nano Vintage Hasselblad Style
    by Jeremy Gray on 13th January 2026 at 00:26

    The DJI Osmo Nano is a clever, compact modern action camera with cutting-edge features. But what if it looked and acted less like a modern action camera and more like a classic waist level-viewfinder Hasselblad camera? For some reason, there's a 3D-printed shooting kit that answers that very question. [Read More]

    by Kate Garibaldi on 12th January 2026 at 21:41

    Dell has introduced the world’s first 52-inch curved 6K ultrawide monitor. Designed to rethink multi-window workspaces, it aims to replace complex multi-monitor setups with a single continuous display.

  • Thank You Hipsters: Because of You, Film Is Thriving Again
    by Stephen Schafer on 12th January 2026 at 19:32

    Once upon a time, in the last century, before hipsters and when only restaurants had menus, photography was film and film was photography. Both consumers and pros used film, and every camera jockey had a favorite kind: large format, medium format, 35mm, APS, 126, Disc, etc. [Read More]

  • The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV Is Not Discontinued in the US
    by Jaron Schneider on 12th January 2026 at 18:20

    Last week, reports out of Japan indicated that the OM-D E-M10 Mark IV -- the last of the major camera lines that still bears the Olympus name instead of OM System -- was discontinued. That led some to lament the loss of Taylor Swift's favorite camera. [Read More]

    When a client asks for raw files, the request can put your deliverables, your editing time, and your reputation on the line. Handle it casually and you risk handing over work that is unfinished, easy to misuse, and hard to control once it leaves your drive. [ Read More ]

  • 5 Signs You Are 'Chimping' Too Much (And Why It's Ruining Your Photos)
    by Alex Cooke on 12th January 2026 at 22:04

    There's a term in photography that sounds like it belongs in a nature documentary, and in a way, it does. "Chimping" describes the behavior of looking at your camera's LCD screen immediately after taking a photo, and the name supposedly comes from the excited noises photographers used to make when digital cameras first became mainstream. It's also a potentially detrimental habit that can cause you to miss shots. [ Read More ]

  • Canon EOS R6 Mark III vs EOS R5 vs EOS R5 Mark II: The Real-World Choice
    by Alex Cooke on 12th January 2026 at 20:04

    Choosing between the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, the EOS R5, and the EOS R5 Mark II is not a spec-sheet game anymore, because all three are fast enough. The real question is which one matches the way you shoot when things get chaotic: action, low light, long video takes, or heavy cropping. [ Read More ]

  • Open Calls Didn’t Democratize Photography—They Monetized It
    by Alvin Greis on 12th January 2026 at 17:04

    Open calls didn’t make photography more open. They simply replaced one gatekeeping system with another, built on paid submissions, administrative rules, and predictable results. And their influence reaches far beyond the photographers who actually apply. [ Read More ]

  • The Five Mistakes That Make Your Footage Look Amateur
    by Alex Cooke on 12th January 2026 at 15:04

    DaVinci Resolve is where a lot of “almost there” footage either gets rescued or exposed. This video argues that the difference between amateur and paid work often shows up in a handful of choices you keep repeating, especially once you start shooting log and stop trusting whatever look the camera bakes in.

  • 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.

  • Photography News: Viltrox Lens Rumors, Accessory Sales
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 12th January 2026 at 01:36

    It’s only been a few hours since I returned from a Sunday walk through the heart of Prague, where I passed dozens of photographers aiming their lenses at centuries-old architecture and the picturesque medieval panorama crowned by the largest castle complex in the world. I tried to see my city through their fresh eyes—and indeed, bathed in winter sunlight, it was beautiful. Especially now, with everything covered in fresh snow and ice skaters gliding along the frozen river.

  • A Simple and Economical Way to Camouflage in the Field
    by Massimo Vignoli on 10th January 2026 at 07:01

    Some animals don't mind when people photograph them up close, but often, wildlife photography requires a different approach. To capture meaningful images without disturbing wildlife, it can be desirable to remain unseen. This article explains a simple, effective technique to achieve that.

  • Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro Field Review
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 9th January 2026 at 04:44

    Nikon APS-C cameras do not receive much attention from their own brand when it comes to fast prime lenses. Eight years after the introduction of the Z mount, Nikon still offers just two bright DX primes, roughly equivalent to 35mm and 50mm, both with an aperture of f/1.7. Fortunately, third-party manufacturers have clearly sensed an opportunity, resulting in a growing lineup of interesting fast lenses. One of them is the portrait-oriented Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro, which has just been announced in a Z-mount version.

  • Nikon Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 Announced
    by Spencer Cox on 7th January 2026 at 06:14

    Nikon just announced a new full-frame mirrorless lens, the Nikon Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1. This midrange zoom is lightweight and inexpensive, weighing just 350 grams (0.77 lbs) and costing $550. Moreover, it will sell as a kit with the Nikon Z5 II for $2200, representing a $200 discount from their usual retail prices.

  • Viltrox Z3 Spark Flash Review
    by Jason Polak on 6th January 2026 at 05:11

    I’ve always loved flashes, especially for portrait photography and flower photography. I have two manual ones, but they’re fairly large so I was interested in trying out something more compact that also offered a TTL mode. In this article, I’ll be reviewing one such option: the Viltrox Z3 Spark, a TTL flash available for Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Fuji X systems.

    by Dahlia Ambrose on 8th January 2026 at 13:00

    Capturing perfect iceberg photos can be a challenge depending on the weather and the light that you are shooting in. Keep an eye on the histogram and take care of the dynamic range in the scene. Bracket shots if needed and remember to shoot raw so you can bring the right blue/bluish green tones of the iceberg if that's what you witnessed when photographing the scene. Here are some magical photos of icebergs that will inspire you to shoot them when you visit a place that has icebergs in the Arctic or Antarctic region.

    The world around us is in constant change. Cities, towns, even the rural landscape are in a state of constant change. That change is imperceptible on a day to day basis but over the months and years, it can and often is quite dramatic. As photographers, often without even knowing it, we are capturing history. Today we are going to look at the importance of photographing places as they change. The post Photographing Places As They Change appeared first on Light Stalking.
