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 Jeffrey Salter, Lake Volta, Regina Valkenborgh, Lightroom exports, Disney World edits, mentors and free landscape presets.
- Heidi Volpe talks to Jeffrey Salter about Total Athlete, his Sports Illustrated assignment. It required a Covid-safe production. "I used a longish lens to do the portraits to keep my distance -- which wasn't problem because the athletes -- Derrick Henry and Caeleb Dressel are huge," he says.
- The Guardian exposes The Dark Secrets of Ghana's Lake Volta. "This enormous reservoir spans vast part of the country and submerges whole forests of trees. But it is also bound up with the heartbreaking use of child labor," it notes.
- Regina Valkenborgh took the Longest Known Exposure Photograph Ever Captured Using a Beer Can. It captures 2,953 arced trails of the sun rising and falling between summer and winter for eight years and a month. The long exposure wasn't intentional, though. The beer can was simply forgotten.
- Julieanne Kost provides some Tips and Shortcuts for Exporting Files From Lightroom Classic.
- In Disney World Editing Photos to Put Face Masks on Park Guests, Kehl Bayern reports its not the theme park's publicity photos, either, but the photos guests purchase to remember their wild ride. "This somehow makes it even stranger," he writes. Indeed.
- In The Benefits of Mentors, Magnum photographers discuss the importance of feedback and discussion. For both the student and the mentor.
- Photographer Melissa Findley is giving away six Nature Photography Presets for Lightroom.
