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 Espen Rasmussen, Point Reyes, specularity, street photography, the 400mm conundrum and the Tiffen Cross Screen Filter.

- Derrick Story shares a few images from his recent Point Reyes Photography Workshop.

- In The 400mm Conundrum, Thom Hogan shows the problem Nikon Z owners have in going telephoto in one colorful chart. "Nikon hasn't made it easy: as you can see, every choice has a clear benefit, but every choice has a different clear detriment," he writes.
- Chris Gampat reviews the Tiffen Cross Screen Filter with plenty of examples. "It does the equivalent of putting a really wide mesh across your lens while also using a piece of glass to soften the image overall," he writes.
FYI, this is the first piece we've written on the new M2 MacBook Pro. It's not fully harnessed yet but we like it too much to let it trot around the corral by itself. More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look five years back. And please support our efforts...
