We took the $3,199 pre-production Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II lens out to see how it handles this dynamic location. [Read More]

- Memory Cards: What No One Tells You and What Actually Mattersby Simon Burn on 23rd February 2026 at 23:03
If you’re shooting fast-moving sports or wildlife, or you’re a videographer shooting long takes in a raw format and high resolution, the most essential piece of gear you need is a fast reliable memory card. Choosing one, however, can be a nightmare. So what do you do? I would guess you buy one from a reputable brand, right? That makes sense, but recently I discovered there’s a lot of marketing smoke-and-mirrors going on—and I thought you should know about it. [Read More]
- The Free Photo Economy Is Ruining Sports Photographyby Steven Van Worth on 23rd February 2026 at 22:09
When outlets can fill galleries with “credit-only” submissions, quality drops, prices crater, and working shooters quietly burn out. I’ve been part of the problem. Here’s why I’m done working for free—and how I’m building paid alternatives that serious shooters can copy without burning bridges. [Read More]
- Antigravity A1 Drone Review, Shockingly Goodby Lee Morris on 23rd February 2026 at 21:31
For the past few weeks, I have been testing the Antigravity A1, the first drone I have ever used with a built in 360 degree camera. I expected a gimmick. What I got was something genuinely innovative surprisingly fun. [Read More]
- The Best Entry/Beginner Laser Cutter: Falcon A1 Proby Lee Morris on 23rd February 2026 at 21:09
I know nothing about laser cutter/engravers, and when I offered one to review, I was excited to try. Would I be smart enough to learn how to use it? Would I be creative enough to find a use for it? First Mistake: Smoke EverywhereLike an idiot, I assumed I could set the Falcon A1 Pro on my office desk, plug it in, and start engraving. Within minutes, my office was filling with smoke. [Read More]
- Is the ZWO Seestar S30 Pro the Ultimate Beginner Smart Telescope?by Fred van Leeuwen on 23rd February 2026 at 20:03
These days, it’s becoming easier and more affordable to photograph our night sky. The introduction of smart telescopes has opened the door for keen amateurs and hobbyists to get started in astrophotography at a fraction of the cost of a high-end professional setup. The ZWO Seestar S30 Pro is making the growing smart telescope space even better. [Read More]
- The Darkroom of Death: 10 Forgotten Hazards of Early Photographyby Alex Cooke on 23rd February 2026 at 17:03
The photographs that survive from the nineteenth century carry a strange weight. Daguerreotypes of solemn faces, wet plate portraits of Civil War soldiers, albumen prints of Victorian families posed in their Sunday best. What we rarely consider when looking at these images is what their creation cost the people who made them. The early history of photography reads less like the story of an art form and more like a catalog of occupational disasters. [Read More]
- Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S II Announcementby Spencer Cox on 24th February 2026 at 04:56

- The Year of Gearby Jason Polak on 24th February 2026 at 00:50
In 2025, I did something new: test a lot of gear. Not only was it interesting work, but I also got to stock up on some items that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise, like an 85mm lens. However, going forward, I'll be testing a lot less gear. Why is that?
- Photography News: Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Announced, Nikon Binocular Salesby Libor Vaicenbacher on 23rd February 2026 at 05:42
In our latest video, which we published earlier this week, you could travel to snow-covered Europe and join me as I searched for the world’s northernmost population of chamois. And now I am already working on another video, in which I will take you directly to the South American equator in the middle of the mountain cloud forest of the eastern Andes. There, I will introduce you to one of the strangest ducks in the world – the Torrent Duck.
- Photographing the Agami Heron: A Rare Encounter in a Drying Amazonby Libor Vaicenbacher on 20th February 2026 at 23:28
We tend to think of the Amazon rainforest as the moist, fresh-green lungs of our planet. An endless ecosystem constantly nourished by life-giving rain, threaded with thousands of rivers, oxbow lakes, and lagoons. This image of the Amazon as a place with a more or less stable, humid climate held true for millions of years. Unfortunately, extreme weather swings are becoming increasingly common in this cradle of biodiversity beneath the world’s longest mountain range.
- What Makes For Good Bokeh in Photography?by Jason Polak on 19th February 2026 at 01:09
Good bokeh on a lens is a bit complicated. It might seem like you can just take a portrait with a blown-out background, and if it looks good, then the lens you're using must have good bokeh. But the truth is a bit more complicated than that.
- New Video: Photographing the Elusive Chamoisby Spencer Cox on 16th February 2026 at 19:35
In today's video, Libor Vaicenbacher journeys into the Lusatian Mountains of Czechia in search of the chamois - small goat-antelopes native to Europe and Western Asia. Along the way, he contends with frigid temperatures and damaged equipment, while the chamois are nowhere to be found.

Capturing stunning photos of the Milky way can be incredibly rewarding and gear should not put you off from capturing photos of our beautiful galaxy.

- January 2026 Photo Contest Winners: Rhythm and Repetitionby 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.
- A First Look At The DJI Air 3Sby Jason Row on 17th February 2026 at 13:00
As drone fliers we are used to the ever increasing regulation of our hobby/profession. So in 2025 when the UK’s CAA announced it would be changing the rules on UK drone flying, I was concerned but not surprised. 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.
