- We Review the WANDRD ROGUE 6L Sling V2: Big Function in a Compact Slingby Zhen Siang Yang on 13th January 2026 at 17:04
As a professional photographer, I am one of those people who carry at least one camera with me all the time. Because of this, I always bring a two-bag combo—a sling bag and a backpack—when shooting on location or traveling around. Having an additional sling bag with me offers immediate accessibility to things I need easily, while storing all the backups on my back, and that translates to higher efficiency when working. While I understand there is no such thing as a perfect bag, I do invest a lot of time in searching for a bag that is capable of serving multiple purposes when I need them in a certain way.

- Radial Masking In Lightroom Classic: How to Make Your Edits More Naturalby Alex Cooke on 13th January 2026 at 16:04
A radial mask in Lightroom can fix the kind of “almost” photo that keeps bothering you, where the light is close but not landing where the eye should go. If you rely on Lightroom to shape mood, depth, and attention, this tool changes what you can do without making the edit look like an edit. [ Read More ]
- Five Tiny Primes, One Small Bag: The Micro Four Thirds Setup That Moves Faster Than Full Frameby Alex Cooke on 13th January 2026 at 15:04

This video puts real pressure on that assumption by showing how a smaller system holds up when the lights drop without warning and the job still needs to get done. [ Read More ]

- The Right Lighting Modifiers for Real Estate Photographyby Alex Cooke on 13th January 2026 at 13:04
Ceilings decide how clean your flash looks in real estate work, and you do not always get a friendly white one. When the ceiling is dark, wood, or simply too high to bounce, a modifier stops being optional and starts being the difference between usable frames and a long edit. [ Read More ]

- Nikon Z9 Firmware 5.30 Is a Big Leapby 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 Salesby 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 Fieldby 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 Reviewby 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 Announcedby Spencer Cox on 7th January 2026 at 06:14

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 Reviewby 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.

The humble 85mm has long been regarded as the go to portrait lens. I have one, a Sony 85mm f/1.8, it’s my favourite lens and yet I do not use it to take portraits with. The post A Portrait Lens Without People appeared first on Light Stalking.

- Magical Photos Of Icebergs From The Arctic And Antarctic Regionsby 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.

- Photographing Places As They Changeby Jason Row on 6th January 2026 at 13:00
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.
