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 Joel Meyerowitz, the Transform panel, depth, a lighting grid, Peakto, the 300mm f2.8 lens and very hot weather.

  • In Tricks of the Twilight, Mee-Lai Stone takes a look at Joel Meyerowitz's photo series shot in Florida and Cape Cod at the blue hour when the sun goes down. The mesmerizing images are on exhibit at Huxley-Parlor in London until Aug. 12.
  • Julieanne Kost shows how to use the Transform panel and its Guided Upright tool to Correct Perspective in Lightroom Classic. We do this a lot more than you might think. The Auto option always leaves us short but snapping four guides on an image can really make an impact.
  • In Depth Matters, Dave Williams argues for "something very important to creating photos that draw in viewers and that thing is depth." Composing an image, in short, with a foreground, middle ground and background.
  • Joe McNally is Building a Lighting Grid With the Profoto Connect Pro. "OK, so you got your basic black room," he begins. "And then, you light it. Extensively. Let's start at the beginning."
  • Derrick Story kicks the tires on Peakto 1.0 from Cyme, released in June. He's using it to catalog his Aperture and Capture One catalogs but it can handle Lightroom, Apple Photos, iView Media Pro and Luminar catalogs as well. (Regrettably, we can't review it ourselves on our current hardware.)
  • Thom Hogan wonders, Is the 300mm f2.8 Lens Now Dead? "I wouldn't buy a 300mm f/2.8. I might buy something longer, such as an 800mm, but it would be rarely used," he writes.
  • Kirk Tuck list 10 tips (more or less, well, more) for Photographing in Very Hot Weather. Including two good reasons for using non-polarizing sunglasses.

More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
