  • Why the Sigma 150–600mm Changed How I Photograph the Coast
    by Darren J. Spoonley on 25th January 2026 at 23:16

    Some ideas take years to resolve in photography—not because the location changes, but because your ability to translate what you see into an image takes time, experience, and sometimes the right tool. [ Read More ]

  • When a Firmware Update Is Worth Installing (And When It’s Not)
    by Justin Tedford on 25th January 2026 at 22:04

    For some photographers, firmware feels like a dirty word—especially for beginners. Should you install every update that appears, or leave things as they are if your camera works fine? For many, it starts with a more straightforward question: What is firmware, and why does it matter? [ Read More ]

  • The Leica Test Nobody Explains: How Your Framing Habits Get Exposed
    by Alex Cooke on 25th January 2026 at 20:04

    You keep hearing that a Leica can change how you shoot, but it is hard to separate myth from real shifts in how you see and move. This videop puts that question in a messy, real setting, then pulls out a few specific changes that might sound small until you recognize them in your own contact sheets. Coming to you from Ari Jaaksi, this reflective video starts with a family Christmas trip that is loud, crowded, and nonstop, then... [ Read More ]

  • The Spec Sheet Is a Dead End. These Cameras Found Another Way.
    by Alex Cooke on 25th January 2026 at 17:04

    Pick up a Sony a7 V. Now pick up a Canon EOS R6 Mark III. Now a Nikon Z6 III. All three cameras launched in 2025. All three hit roughly the same resolution. All three offer comparable autofocus performance, similar video capabilities, equivalent build quality, and nearly identical ergonomics. They are, for most practical purposes, the same camera wearing different logos. [ Read More ]

    When you edit photos on a laptop, tiny desk decisions can quietly wreck your neck, your wrists, and your attention, even if the machine is fast. This helpful video will improve your working life. [ Read More ]

  • The Compositional Cost Of Getting Too Close With A Wide Angle
    by Alex Cooke on 25th January 2026 at 13:04

    Foggy beach mornings are a stress test for your kit and your patience, especially when the background turns into a blank sheet of white. If you usually lean on long lenses or dramatic light, this video puts a spotlight on a different skill set: building strong frames from close-range texture, shape, and context. [ Read More ]

  • Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air Field Review
    by Jason Polak on 25th January 2026 at 02:49

    When I hold one of Nikon’s APS-C cameras in my hand, I immediately think how well it would pair with a small prime. And although we’ve seen a couple of small primes from Nikon so far, like the Nikon Z DX 24mm f/1.7, we are lacking them at many useful focal lengths. So, I was quite excited to do a quick field test of the Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air APS-C lens for Nikon Z, which is also available for Sony E and Fuji X.

  • Field Testing the Nikon Z9, Z6 III, and ZR at -25°C
    by Michael Rübhausen on 23rd January 2026 at 00:56

    Today, I'll share with you a winter expedition into Norway’s Dovrefjell National Park, home to about 300 magnificent muskoxen. My journey took place in extreme Arctic conditions with temperatures around -25°C (-13°F). How did my cameras - the Nikon Z9, Z6 III, and ZR - hold up?

  • Huion Kamvas 16 Gen 3 Review
    by Jason Polak on 20th January 2026 at 17:57

    Most photographers edit their work with a mouse and keyboard while looking at a monitor. However, there are many devices that give a tactile feel to photo editing and drawing, such as pen tablets. Today, I'll review one such pen tablet: the Huion Kamvas 16 Gen 3, which retails for $459.

  • Photography News: Ricoh GR IV Monochrome Announcement, M4/3 Sales
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 19th January 2026 at 06:02

    Although photography speaks a clear and easily understood language, it is utterly silent — a balm for the soul in today’s noise-saturated world. Still, there are moments when I wish I could turn up the volume on an imaginary dial. This rarely happens when I look at a photograph of a person, but quite often when the subject is a bird — just like the Choco Toucan in the image below. Its open bill and the way its entire body is positioned suggest that it is filling a stretch of cloudforest with sound, and yet you hear nothing. This week, I wrote an article about that situation. But right now, let’s give voice to the photography news that surfaced this week.

  • The Spirit of Black and White Wildlife Photography
    by Massimo Vignoli on 18th January 2026 at 04:54

    Black and white wildlife photography is a radical choice to strip the subject of its literal appearance and reveal its essence. In this article, I'll explore how eliminating color can allow us to go beyond merely chronicling the moment in front of us, and instead embrace what I call the "Archetype."

  • Croaking and Yelping Toucans: When Photos Don’t Tell the Whole Story
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 17th January 2026 at 02:13

    Photography is a remarkable medium. In high-resolution photos, we can study every patch of skin, fur, or feather on an animal. High-speed burst shooting can capture fleeting moments of animal behavior in fractions of a second. What photography cannot capture, however, is sound—that vital yet invisible component of both animal and human existence without which an image may be incomplete. Today, using the example of two magnificent species of toucans inhabiting the western slopes of the Andes, I want to give you a glimpse of where photography does not tell the whole story.

  • Learning to See Like a Photographer
    by Jason Row on 20th January 2026 at 13:00

    There comes a point in your photographic learning curve when you realise that something is not progressing quite the way you had hoped. Often that is the creative element to your images. Sure they look good, great exposure and colour. They may be well composed but they are lacking that creative hook that many of your more experienced photographers are demonstrating. In short, you are taking photos not seeing them. The post Learning to See Like a Photographer appeared first on Light Stalking.
