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 Roland Schmid, Ming Thein, Arthur Cauty, womxn coping, Christian Werner, LED lighting, Sharon Tenenbaum and the Panasonic FZ1000M2.
- Cross-Border Love is a photo essay by Roland Schmid focused on couples separated by the Swiss-German border during the quarantine. "If a couple gets too close to each other on the border, the guards usually turn a blind eye," he writes. But not everywhere.
- Ming Thein encourages you to Use the Night. "Beyond the subject matter itself, there's the opportunity to present the same subject very differently: be it due to the change in ambient illumination color and direction or integration long exposure and motion or at a deeper level, reflecting the changes in ourselves and the way we observe and behave once the sun goes down," he writes.
- Scott Kelby found Something Really Beautiful This Morning created by Arthur Cauty from astrophotography stills:
- Grace Ebert highlights the work of Hundreds of Womxn Are Photographing How They Cope During Quarantine. "Organized by photographers Charlotte Schmitz and Hannah Yoon, The Journal is an extension of Women Photograph, which is an initiative led by Daniella Zalcman to elevate visual journalists who identify as non-binary or women," she explains.
- In Everything So Democratic and Coo, Christian Werner argues, like William Eggleston who inspires him, that everything has a right to be photographed.
- Derrick Story finds LEDs Are Great for Digitizing Slides and Negs as Well but mind the color temperature. He uses a seven-inch Fotodiox FlapJack in the home setup he illustrates.
- Kevin Raber has a half-hour conversation with Sharon Tenenbaum whose engineering background informs her architectural photography:
- Kirk Tuck shows how sharp the zoom on the $800 Panasonic FZ1000M2 actually is. "I found that at every focal length the lens, the camera and the camera's processing did a great job making files that were nicely sharp but without apparent sharpening artifacts," he writes.
