Around The Horn

In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention (with more than 140 characters). This time we look at Jacqui Kenny, color balancing home lighting, astrophotography with Sony cameras, Editors Key Lightroom keyboard and merging Lightroom catalogs.
- In Agoraphobic Traveller, Summer Wilson wonders if you can be a photographer without a camera and with images of places you've never been? Jacqui Kenny's work seems to suggest you can. She does it with screen shots of Google Street views.
- In his Lighting 103 series, David Hobby shows how to apply color temperature principles to Use Gels to Tune Your Home's Lighting.
- Ian Norman explains Why I No Longer Recommend Sony Cameras for Astrophotography. They eat stars, that's why. Sony's noise reduction algorithm "easily mistakes sharp pinpoint stars for noise, deleting them from the image or greatly reducing their brightness."
- Terry White found an Awesome New Backlit Keyboard for Lightroom Users. The Editors Keys USB keyboard is full-size but without USB ports.
- Lightroom catalogs have long confused people (as have catalogs in any image editing package) but Victoria Bampton, the Lightroom Queen, is halfway through her detailed series on Merging Catalogs. She makes it a four-step process.
