Around The Horn
12 December 2018
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 the Bellingshausen Sea, National Geographic Nature contest winners, Juan Manuel Castro Prieto, the Nikon Z 6, balancing color temperatures, the best gear, 3D parts printing, Pier 24 publications and a great deal on Keyboard Maestro.
- Sea ice forms in the open water between floes, called leads, in the Bellingshausen Sea. NASA's three-month old ICESat-2 is able to detect the thin sea ice, allowing scientists to more accurately track seasonal ice formation.
- Alan Taylor presents the Winners of the 2018 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest in 10 images.
- In A Spanish Photographer's 42-Year-Long Mission to Save His Village's Memories, Evelyn Nieves interviews Juan Manuel Castro Prieto about his decades-long project capturing life in Cespedosa de Tormes in western Spain. Natural light illuminates the work, even the image of the town's theater.
- In Guest Review: The 2018 Nikon Z 6, Praneeth Rajsingh, who works with Ming Thein, tells why he moved to the Z 6 from the Olympus E-M1 Mark II for shooting watches. Note that all the images were processed as JPEGs, rather than Raw files.
- David Hobby continues his Strobist Lighting Cookbook with Living in the In-Between in which he suggests "daylight vs. tungsten should be viewed as a continuum to be explored -- both with ambient and with flash in that shifted environment."
- The LensRentals staff lists its picks for The Best New Photography and Videography Gear of 2018.
- In Creating Obscure Camera Parts With 3D Printing, Derrick Story is delighted to find a $21 alternative to a rare $99 accessory thanks to 3D printing.
- Selected Pier 24 Photography publications are "available for the holidays," the gallery said.
- MacHeist is offering the indispensable Keyboard Maestro at $19, a 47 percent discount, for the next two days.
