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 Navalny, Tina Signesdottir, older gear and RawTherapee.
- Associated Press photographers document thousands paying respect to Russia's Navalny with candles and flowers. Russians abroad "headed to Russian embassies and consulates to express their shock and anger" while in Russia "after initially allowing people in several cities to lay flowers at monuments to victims of Soviet-era repression, police sealed off some of the areas and started making arrests."
- Grace Holliday explores Tina Signesdottir's phone picture of two sisters in an old workman's house that captures The Passage of Time. "Their pose came about naturally. We worked together to capture a beautiful moment," she says.
- Kirk Tuck makes the argument for Older Gear. "I love the cameras we were offered by makers ten years ago ( or more ). There are iconic camera models in each manufacturer's recent histories. The Nikon D700 (and by extension, the Nikon D750 and 780). The Canon 5Dmk3. The Fuji X-Pro2 and 3. The Sony a850 and a900. And the Panasonic S1. And, of course, the Pentax K-1. All are good cameras and most will provide files that are so close to the quality provided by the latest gear that the differences are invisible to most."
- RawTherapee [LMW] has been updated to v5.10.
