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 Reykjanes Peninsula volcano, the year in pictures, macro photography, intentional motion blur, five things and the Pentax Film Project.
- Matt Fidler curates images of the Reykjanes Peninsula Volcano erupting in Iceland.
- In A Weary World (gift link), Marc Lacey looks at the year in pictures for the New York Times. "The Year in Pictures is a way to commemorate the big news events from January to December: the ones that traumatized us -- and there are many of those -- mixed in with some moments of bliss," he writes.
- In Macro Photography: The Undiscovered Country, Harold Davis writes, "Of course, just because something is novel, because I've discovered new country in a close-up, doesn't mean it is interesting or moving. But novel gets attention and attention is the first step toward deeper meaning and beauty."
- Julieanne Kost shows how to capture Intentional Motion Blur from a moving car in this 9:15 video:
- Derrick Story lists Five Photography Things I'm Thankful for in 2023.
- In And Here's What I Think the Pentax Film Project Ought to Be, Mike Johnston reveals a few basic concepts before wading into the weeds.
