- Peak Design Pro Lite Tripod Reviewby Libor Vaicenbacher on 23rd December 2025 at 23:02
The original Peak Design Travel Tripod made some serious waves when it launched five years ago. One sign of its success? Not long after its release, the market started to fill with models suspiciously inspired by its design. More recently, Peak Design built on that momentum by introducing three larger, more robust siblings. Today I’ll take a closer look at the smallest of the trio — the Peak Design Pro Lite.
- Photography News: Nikon Z9 Firmware, Canon R7 II Rumorby Libor Vaicenbacher on 22nd December 2025 at 05:20
This week, while working on an article about Silver Efex, I wanted to remind myself what true analog photography looked like. So I dug deep into my closet, pulled out a historical hard drive, and carefully brought it back to life. As it started spinning, it took me back to my younger days, where I found a photo waiting to be discovered in a quarter-century-old folder: a photo of my dad and two very unlucky carp contemplating the desperate situation they had found themselves in for the sake of our holiday traditions.
- DxO Silver Efex Review: Black and White Without Chemicalsby Libor Vaicenbacher on 19th December 2025 at 00:57
It’s been a very long time since I last wound film onto a developing reel in a darkroom, mixed my developer, tempered it to the precise temperature, and then—like some alchemist—developed the film. Still, I can vividly recall those moments and, later, the excitement of darkroom printing under dim red light. But enough nostalgia. I gave away my darkroom gear long ago, and the smell of developer has been replaced by coffee sitting next to the computer on which I now edit black-and-white photographs using DxO Silver Efex.

- Secrets of Professional Photographers: An Interview with Petr Choduraby Libor Vaicenbacher on 16th December 2025 at 01:18
When someone says “sports photographer,” many of us probably imagine a row of long telephoto lenses crammed together in the corner of a stadium. In some ways, that image isn’t far from the truth. But there are sports that don’t have boundaries, safety nets, or predictable arenas — sports that take place in conditions most photographers will never experience.
- Check Out These Interesting And Useful Rules In Photographyby Dahlia Ambrose on 25th December 2025 at 01:00

- November 2025 Photo Contest Winners: The Power Of Scaleby Rob Wood (Admin) on 19th December 2025 at 13:00
We're happy to announce the winner of November's competition, “The Power Of Scale.” Tersha posted a photo that is a partial silhouette and one that is a great example of scale in photography. The image has a unique type of visual weight where the person is facing the right part of the frame, but feels balanced by the structure. Also, one can notice the feeling of "alone" in the photo and the composition emphasizes the emotion. The post November 2025 Photo Contest Winners: The Power Of Scale appeared first on Light Stalking.
