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 Grant Simon Rogers, the Vogue World Fashion Show, Lindsay Wasson, the Palouse, coins, the Z lineup, unusual focal range lenses, Kirk Tuck and Linda Tirado.
- In Terra Incognita, Grant Simon Rogers explores Berlin through a series of dramatically lit portraits of plants.
- Pejman Faratin curates images from the Vogue World Fashion Show at Place Vendôme in Paris a month before the city hosts the Olympics.
- Lindsay Wasson says A Good Action Photo Is Often About the Cropping. In this case, the action was a postgame Gatorade bucket dunk.
- Where Have I Been? The Palouse, Kevin Raber confides. He took a few photographers there for a workshop. "One of the highlights of this trip was an evening of once-in-a-lifetime sunset skies," he writes.
- Harold Davis shots some Coins with his Leica M11 Monochrom, a Leica Macro-Adapter-M with the Novoflex M-mount to Nikon F adapter, a 36mm extension tube and a Zeiss 50mm f2 macro lens. "The upper photo of the coin is somewhere between 5:1 and 10:1, meaning many times larger than life size," he writes.
- Thom Hogan offers Another View of the Z Lineup based on the image processor in the cameras. The EXPEED 6 cameras (Z 30, Z 50, Z fc, Z 5, Z 7 II) represent an older generation than the EXPEED 7 cameras (Z f, Z 6 III, Z 8, Z 9).
- Feroz Khan explores some Unusual Focal Range Lenses, including the 43-86mm Nikkor we've featured on this site from time to time.
- Kirk Tuck dapples in a Car Review of his new Subaru Legacy Sport before spicing things up with a slide show from his Leica CL with a 56mm f1.4 Sigma lens.
- Rachel Treisman reports A Journalist Shot by Police While Covering the 2020 Protests Is Dying of Her Injuries, referring to photojournalist Linda Tirado. In Linda Tirado Is Dying, Mike Johnston has more on the story, including an interesting comment by John Camp, who himself covered a few protests.
