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 Getty Images grant winners, Hurricane Irma, the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f4 lens, , the perfect travel lens, X Raw Studio, Capture One Pro's hidden Cloning tool, Time's iPhone portfolio and Kristi McCluer.
- In Getty Images Grant Winners Announced for 2017, James Estrin presents 20 images by the winners announced at the Visa Pour l'Image festival in Perpignan, France.
- Alan Taylor presents Photos of the Devastation Across Saint Martin Left by Hurricane Irma. And Irma isn't done yet. Be safe.
- Robin Wong reviews the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f4 Lens. We liked it, too.
- Scott Kelby suggests The Perfect Lens for Travel Photography. Or lenses, depending on whether you shoot Canon, Nikon or Sony full-frame cameras. He promises his crop sensor picks next week. He sticks with each manufacturer's glass.
- Fujifilm said a little bit more about its new X Raw Studio, mentioned in yesterday's announcements. The company claims batch processing Raw files takes too long so it uses the X Processor Pro in the camera instead of the CPU in the computer when you connect the camera to your computer via USB. It won't be available before November.
- Derrick Story reveals The Hidden Cloning Tool in Capture One Pro. Hidden indeed.
- In How We Created Time Magazine's First iPhone Portfolio, Director of Photography and Visual Enterprise Kira Pollack talks about discovering Brazilian photographer named Luisa Dörr while browsing Instgram. "Talent often surfaces when you aren't really expecting it," she writes.
- Lizzy Acker interviews Kristi McCluer who took the shot of Golfers in Front of a Hill on Fire in Oregon. McCluer said she "doesn't really consider herself a photographer, more 'a girl with the camera.'"
