Around The Horn
5 August 2019
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 Anargyros Dropala, travel photography backup, Fujifilm XF cameras, two old 50mm Pentax lenses, group interaction, Rocky Nook deals and a BorrowLenses discount.
- Athens-based photographer Anargyros Dropala finds Beauty in Moments of Despair and Disgust writes Rosie Flanagan.
- Scott Kelby share My Travel Photography Backup Strategy. He 1) uses memory cards he doesn't erase, 2) portable hard drive backup and 3) keepers copied to the cloud. His 64-GB Class 10 SD card two-pack for under $20 is a bargain but you can do better on the portable hard drive component. WD's My Passport USB 3.0 drives are available for $60 in 1-TB capacities.
- Thom Hogan takes the long view in Rounding Up the Fujifilm XF Cameras. Is Fujifilm gaining traction? Mike Johnston and Kirk Tuck have both jumped onboard recently. Hogan thinks it provides the best APS-C platform.
- Kirk Tuck takes Two 50mm Lenses for a walk. No joke.
- Derrick Story goes into a bar (this isn't a joke either) Looking for Group Interaction in Street Photography.
