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 the Nature Conservancy Photo Contest, Paris Photo, Corinne Dufka, Euclid Telescope images, working with catalogs, reaction to Sony's A9 III, cable management, incomes and the LensCulture Art Photography contest.
- Winners of the Nature Conservancy Photo Contest have been announced. Entries from over 80,000 photographers in 191 countries and territories were judged in 12 categories. Tibor Litauszki of Hungary is the Grand Prize winner.

- Amna Nawaz interviews former conflict photographer Corinne Dufka about her new book This Is War. Dufka spent over two decades documenting human rights abuses when she led the West Africa division at Human Rights Watch. In the 1980s and 1990s, she photographed some of the world's most brutal conflicts. The 256-page hardcover is available for $45.61 ($60) at amazon.com.
- In Euclid Telescope Dazzles With Detailed First Images of Our Universe (gift link), Katrina Miller presents five images from the European Space Agency's robotic telescope.

And in Global Shutter Arrives World Radically Changed Within Hours Early Adopters Already Ensconced in the Photography Hall of Fame All Previous Cameras Rendered Useless., Kirk Tuck is bemused. "I'm sure the new Sony A9III is a miracle of sorts. But every photographic miracle comes with some sort of balancing compromise...." While in Photography Has Changed Forever, Kevin Raber can hardly contain his enthusiasm. "This camera has changed everything with the introduction of the Global Shutter," he writes.... Meanwhile LensRentals offers to help Understanding the Difference in Global and Rolling Shutters.
