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 Atlas Gallery, Iris suite, the Mirrorless market, the Nikkor Z 26mm, a $68,750 contract, online counterfeiters, LensCulture portrait contest, Adobe AI job and HP sued.
- The Guardian features images from an exhibition at the Atlas Gallery in London featuring some of the 20th century's most groundbreaking photographers.
- In Iris Suite, Harold Davis captures the flower up to twice life size using a light box and sometimes a small LED find light.
- In State of the Mirrorless Market, Thom Hogan writes, "We're probably at or near Peak Mirrorless here in 2024. Not necessarily peak in sales volume, but more in terms of breadth and depth of options available on the market." He gives a synopsis of eight company strategies as well. And in Some Don't Understand the Sony A9 Mark III he list three benefits and two drawbacks of a global shutter.
- In 26mm and Be There, Derrick Story spent a perfect day in San Francisco with his Nikon Zf and Nikkor Z 26mm. And in his weekly podcast he compares the virtues of the Nikon Zf vs. Olympus OM-1.
- Bryan Sheffield negotiates a $68,750 contract for 30 images and up to 5 minutes of video of a Medical Equipment Manufacturer.
- Paul Melcher writes about Combating Online Counterfeiters in the "visual economy." Content Credentials and invisible watermarking and reliable digital marketplaces all play a role in combatting faked images.
- LensCulture is now accepting submissions for its 11th annual Portrait Awards. Deadline is Feb. 14. Of course it is, Valentine.
- Adobe is hiring a Staff Experience Developer, GenAI Prototyping. Pay range: $154,000 to $278,800 annually.
- Scharon Harding reports HP is being sued for blocking Third-Party Ink. The lawsuit seeks an injunction against HP requiring the company to disable its printer firmware updates from preventing the use of non-HP branded ink, monetary damages over $5,000,000 and a jury trial.
