  • Derrick Story lists Five Tips for Snorkeling Photographers. Our least favorite involves getting up early in the morning. Our most favorite is what focus lock can do for you.

Some of them will appear for the first time in Snowdon: A Life In View at the National Portrait Gallery in London from Sept. 26 to June 21, 2015.
  • Amy Odell at Cosmopolitan reports Vanity Fair has finally Photoshopped a man in Prince William Plagued by Photoshop Scandal. "A close examination of their [August] cover photo suggests that the magazine -- OMG, let's all freak out and cry Photoshop! -- added dark fuzz to the balding prince's head." Things were much more civilized when Joe Pugliese had all the July magazine covers.
