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 Shinji Aratani, cleaning your gear, retouching tips and Shiftcam.
- Visual Poesy With the Leica M Monochrom highlights Shinji Aratani's black-and-white images. He processes the Raw images in Lightroom "and sometimes Silver Efex Pro."
- In Cleaning Your Gear on the Road, Moose Peterson walks you through his routine for cleaning his camera and lenses while his images are uploading:
- In The Ten Commandments of Retouching, David Justice includes links that what to do with each sin he points out.
- The $60 Shiftcam is a Kickstarter project for the iPhone 7 Plus case that adds six lenses to the front-facing dual-lens camera. The six options include 120 degree wide-angle, 1x telephoto, 10x macro, 20x macro, 180 degree fisheye and 2x telephoto.
