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. This time we look at big pontoon bridges, Robin Friend, a Rust Belt police shooting, the current camera market, estimating post-production expenses, a Photoshop design challenge, a quick-release lighting setup and straightening horizons.
- Alan Taylor presents 20 images of The Pontoon Bridges That Carry Millions at Kumbh Mela. Huge pontoons, too. "More than 1,700 floating steel pontoons are now being repaired, built, placed and capped with decking, as thousands of workers prepare for the event," he writes.
- In Bastard Countryside by Robin Friend, Marigold Warner showcases landscapes by Robin friend "in which the manmade and natural collide to create strange beauty and ugliness."
- In Images From the Aftermath of a Rust Belt Police Shooting, Joe Sexton tells the unusual story of a 2016 police shooting in West Virginia. With striking images from Luke Sharrett of ProPublica.
- In Making Sense of the Current Camera Market, Kirk Tuck covers medium format, dSLRs and mirrorless cameras. "Following the herd means stepping in a lot of manure," he points out.
- David Walker talks to some photographer's reps to gain some insight into How to Estimate Photography Post-Production Expenses.
- In 'Little Dream' Design Challenge, Ted Chin shows off three of his new favorite tools in Photoshop. And Adobe adds a contest to create your own "little dream" world.
- Derrick Story explains his Quick-Release Lighting for Portraits on the Go. "If you want a super-quick portrait setup and have a quick-release plate laying around, you might want to construct your own kit," he writes.
- Federico Alegria explains How to Straighten Your Crooked Photos in Lightroom. Turning on the grid in your viewfinder can prevent the problem in the first place. But it's never fatal.
