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 Stephen Lesli, Dave Jordano, Jan Erik Waider, Al H Thompson, creative effects, jackpot photography, light modifiers, Really Right Stuff's L bracket and a backdrop sale.
- Stephen Lesli has collected his Spontaneous Street Snaps in Mostly False Reports, a new photo book.
- Kate Mothes presents The Idiosyncratic Personalities of American Towns captured by Dave Jordano. "For me, it's mostly about the quiet solitude, the empty streets, sometimes surreal nature of a city that looks and feels as if it's frozen in time," he says of his night photography.
- Jason Kottke features The Frozen Colors of Winter from Jan Erik Waider's Behance portfolio.
- Suzanne Sease features Remnants of an Exodus, the personal project of Al H Thompson. "Thompson's photos pose a truncated perspective of Spring Valley, N.Y., the New York City suburb where he came of age."
- Christian Möhrle demonstrates Six Creative Effects You Can Do in Lightroom. He converts a landscape into autumnal color, adds a polarizing effect to another, uses two sliders to give an image the Orton Glow, adds bokeh to another, introduces some fog and adds a glow spot.
- In Jackpot Photography, Mike Johnston reports seeing "picture after picture" as he drove through "beautiful light" for 135 miles to visit three doctors. "The skies cleared and clouded again over and over, the clouds were ever-changing, the snows came and went, the wet roads reflected the almost heavenly brightness of the skies," he writes.
- Zach Sutton does a deep dive into Light Modifiers with a primer on the three characteristics of light: power, direction and quality.
- Jim Kasson has posted a quick review of the RRS L Bracket for GFX 100 II.
- Gravity Backdrops is having a Fifty Percent Off Sale on all of its backdrops. And they are selling out.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
