- 2025 Was the Year of the Photographic Experienceby Jeremy Gray on 2nd January 2026 at 22:37
There are so many fantastic, capable digital cameras available these days. Nearly every new camera from all the major manufacturers can take great photos, has reliable autofocus, and offers a competitive feature set.

- What Happens When You Put Big Lenses on the Tiny Kodak Charmera?by Jeremy Gray on 2nd January 2026 at 18:14

However, straight out of the box, its capabilities are arguably a bit lacking, thanks in large part to its tiny built-in lens. That's where expert camera modifier James Warner, or Snappiness as he's known online, comes in. What would happen if you gave the Kodak Charmera a better, bigger lens? [Read More]
- Using Natural Frames to Take Better Photosby Spencer Cox on 3rd January 2026 at 03:44

- Printing Your Photos: An Artist’s Statement Against Ephemeralityby Massimo Vignoli on 30th December 2025 at 00:23
As a nature and wildlife photographer, much of my work revolves around patiently waiting. I often wake up very early and might spend whole days concealed in a hide, ride for miles on a jeep, or trek to an ideal location—all in hopes of capturing a singular, dramatic moment. Perhaps it is a leopard mid-leap, lions courting, an ibex poised on a foggy ridge, or a giant polar bear eating. Or just a moment of color and light on the landscape.

- 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.
