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 PhotoVogue, St Patrick's Well, Jonathan May, a lighting comparison, star trails, The SilverFast E-Book 2.0 and Datacolor discounts.
- In PhotoVogue, the Guardian presents images by the 25 Italian photographers selected for this year's festival.
- Harold Davis captured the light coming into the subterranean St Patrick's Well in Orvieto built on orders from Pope Clement VII who had taken refuge there during the sack of Rome in 1527. "From a photographic viewpoint, I am interested in the feeling of light in my image, considering how dark it was down there at the bottom of the well (I had to use my headlamp to see what I was doing with the camera)," he writes.
- Suzanne Sease features End of the Line, the personal project of Jonathan May. "I was living in the center close to the Red Square and didn't really travel too far outside of my neighborhood," May explains. "My plan was to travel to the end of every metro line and spend a night there to document the surrounding area in winter." He shot with a Pentax 67II loaded with Cinestill 800t film.
- In Comparing Studio Strobes and Constant Lighting for Photography, Zach Sutton evaluates the two approaches in light of new technology.
- Christopher O'Donnell details How to Photograph Star Trails with a thorough primer on the subject. "Photographing star trails is challenging but the results are amazing," he writes. "The movement captured in our images can represent the vastness of the universe and our small place in it."
- SilverFast has published The SilverFast E-Book 2.0 with "a French and a Spanish version in addition to many other optimizations." The book from Karl-Heinz Zahorsky, the inventor of SilverFast, explains the technology used today in scanning and image processing, going beyond a mere instruction manual. It also includes video tutorials and is copiously illustrated.
- Datacolor is currently offering discounts up to 30 percent on its calibration tools.
