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 Garry Winogrand in color, Valerio Minato, Eleonora Prignano, the Hasselblad 180mm f4.0 and LensRentals.
- The Guardian presents images from Garry Winogrand's new book of color work from the 1950s titled Garry Winogrand: Winogrand Color. He shot over 45,000 color slides between the 1950s and late 1960s.
- Cathedral, Mountain, Moon by Valerio Minato was the Astronomy Picture of the Day on Christmas Day. It's an amazing triple alignment of the Basilica of Superga in the foreground, Monviso rising up behind it and the setting Moon in a crescent phase.
- Chris Gampat explores How Eleonora Prignano Makes Her Beautiful Photographs. "Something I've always been fascinated about since I started shooting human subjects, is their peculiarities, not only in their looks, but also their psyche and more specifically, the complex nature of our identity," she says.
- Kirk Tuck remembers shooting four rolls of Agfa XPS 160 film with a 180mm f4.0 on his Hasselblad. "The Hasselblad 180mm f4.0 had the absolute worst bokeh of any lens I have ever shot," he writes. "I think it's because the leaf shutter has only five blades"
- Mike Johnston notes the Canon R5 Tops List for Second Year in a Row among rented bodies at LensRentals. He and Kenneth Tanaka both sing the praises of renting from the company.
