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 Juneteenth, aerial glacier photographs, Josh Scott, photography magazines, Nikon rumors and leaks, half frame cameras and Canon's mid-range zooms.
- The Guardian curates images of yesterday's Juneteenth Celebrations.
- Jon Keegan surveys Aerial Glacier Photographs in two collections. One is the United States Geological Survey's 100,000 high-resolution black-and-white images photographed over 40 years with a 63-pound WW II surveillance camera. The other is the National Park Service's collection of color images.
- Suzanne Sease features Waterway, the personal project Josh Scott started in 2009 after buying a house on the Detroit River. "This series of images is focused on foggy mornings when things are quiet, calm and surreal," he says. "It's a magical time to be on the river as threads of mist permeate from the water into the cool air leaving it a horizonless abyss, disorienting, removing any visual reference to direction."
- Dahlia Ambrose lists The Best Photography Magazines broken down down by genre and region. "The overall winner of our list is Outdoor Photographer Magazine," she writes.
- In Knowing and Watching, Thom Hogan makes a few observations about the leaks and rumors surrounding the introduction of the Z 6 III.
- Kirk Tuck, who has collected half-frame cameras since 1981, is not impressed with the Pentax 17 because "you are stuck with 'guess composing' and 'guess focusing' and no exposure control beyond what is provided by the program mode and an EV dial."
- LensRentals compares Canon's Best Mid-Range Zoom Lenses. Four of them: Canon RF 24-105mm f4L IS, Canon RF 24-70mm f2.8L IS, Canon RF 28-70mm f2L, and the Canon RF 24-105mm f2.8L IS USM Z.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
