    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. Congratulations on capturing a very effective Rhythm and Repetition photo Kim! The post January 2026 Photo Contest Winners: Rhythm and Repetition appeared first on Light Stalking.

However when the new rules were finally announced it wasn’t as bad as feared and in many respects it was a positive move. The post A First Look At The DJI Air 3S appeared first on Light Stalking.
