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 Stephen Starkman, long lenses, crashing Teslas, life experiences, Smart Objects, shutters, PhotoLab 6 on the M2 Max, practicing and log literacy.

  • In 'I Still Want to Have Hope', Toronto-based photographer Stephen Starkman reacts to a terminal diagnosis with and eloquent series of images inspired by the ordeal.
  • Joe McNally muses on The Language of Light and Long Lenses. "It's a chore, long glass," he writes. "But often what you lose in context, you make up for with impact."
  • Heidi Volpe talks to photo illustrator Justin Metz about Crashing Teslas for the New York Times Magazine. Stock photos of Teslas, that is.
  • In Life Experiences Through Photography, Dave Williams reveals his coda. "Once in a lifetime as often as you can." In this case, it was photographing a reindeer
  • Julieanne Kost demonstrates a cute trick to View Free Transform Values for Smart Objects with layer masks in Photoshop.
  • In Electronic Shutters vs. Mechanical Shutters, Jason Row explains the difference between the two.
  • A Reddit poster describes his DxO PhotoLab 6 and M2 Max Performance and Tweaks. Comments clarify the bottlenecks, which may otherwise be surprising given his comparisons with other systems.
  • Mike Johnston recommends practicing now so you can keep The Sharp Edge for spring shooting.
  • Howard Oakley posts two articles on Log Literacy. "It's increasingly clear that most advanced Mac users, consultants, system administrators and developers lack one essential skill: being able to read the log, log literacy," he writes. The second piece shows how to use his free log browser Ulbow to reduce the log output to entries you're interested in.

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