Around The Horn
27 September 2017
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 entries in the National Geographic Nature Photographer contest, Catherine Leroy, Lightroom's local adjustment presets, Mark Heaps, a study on lossy compression and the importance of punctuation.
- Alan Taylor presents 15 entries from the 2017 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest, which closes Nov. 17.
- In In Her Own Words, Photographing the Vietnam War, Elizabeth Herman highlights the late photojournalist Catherine Leroy's work during the war in 17 images as the Catherine Leroy Web site publishes 100 of her letters from that time.
- Rob Sylvan explains Creating, Editing, and Managing Local Adjustment Presets in Lightroom.
- In Growing as a Professional Creative, Mark Heaps gives some pithy advice about dealing with clients at Scott Kelby's site.
- Jeremy Wagner introduces How People Perceive Lossy Image Quality: A Study and invites you to participate in the survey. We blew it up with 520 error.
- In The $#*;% ! Million Dollar Comma, Greenberg and Reznicki wax poetic about punctuation in legal documents. You know, like the difference between rights for "the U.S. Virgin Islands ..." and "the U.S., Virgin Islands...." As they say, "Not only do words matter, they, and grammar and punctuation, can all be very costly to your financial health."
