  • Manual Focus, Big Aperture: What the Thypoch Simera 75mm f/1.4 ASPH Gets Right
    by Alex Cooke on 24th January 2026 at 10:04

    An f/1.4 lens can make portraits look calm and intentional, but it can also punish mistakes in focus, corners, and color fringing. If you are considering a manual-focus short telephoto, the real question is what you gain in look and feel and what you quietly give up. [ Read More ]

  • We Review the Viltrox 14mm f/4: An Ultra-Wide Perspective on a Budget
    by Justin Tedford on 24th January 2026 at 00:04

    Wide-angle lenses usually fall into one of two categories: large, heavy, expensive monsters or budget-friendly options that often come with compromises not worth the cost. But has Viltrox hit a home run? [ Read More ]

  • Medium Format Is the New Full Frame: What's Next?
    by Alex Cooke on 23rd January 2026 at 22:04

    There was a time, not so long ago, when medium format digital photography existed in an entirely separate universe from the rest of the camera market. It was a universe populated by wealthy commercial photographers and the occasional landscape obsessive who had saved for years to afford a system that promised marginally better image quality than what everyone else was using. Not anymore. [ Read More ]

  • The $275 vs $399 85mm Choice That Looks Simple Until You See the Tradeoffs
    by Alex Cooke on 23rd January 2026 at 20:04

    85mm portrait primes get marketed as “special,” but the real story is how fast they focus, how they handle, and what you trade to save size and money. If you shoot people on Sony E-mount, this head-to-head is the kind of comparison that can keep you from buying the right focal length in the wrong package. [ Read More ]

  • The Tide Was Wrong, the Sky Was Blank: How to Salvage the Photo Anyway
    by Alex Cooke on 23rd January 2026 at 16:04

    You can lose a morning at the coast even when the light looks promising, and the reasons are not always what you think. This video focuses on one pier shoot where timing, tide, and filters collide in ways that will feel uncomfortably familiar. [ Read More ]

  • 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.

  • How Visual Echoes Can Improve Your Photos
    by Spencer Cox on 14th January 2026 at 22:24

    It's always a treat to see a good photo that employs a "visual echo" - when different parts of the photo call out to one another and make the whole composition feel interconnected. Not all scenes will have visual echoes that you can photograph, but they're sure worth searching for.

  • 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.
