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 the Olympics photo tech, Day 12 photos, good food, Cosplayers, iPhone video, Vital Impacts grants and trust.
- Zach Sutton explores How Photographers & Videographers Bring the 2024 Olympics Together. "While the gear room of the hundreds of camera bodies and lenses free for the taking (at least, on short-term loans) might be the highlight for most photographers and videographers, we've also seen some incredible technology used to capture the Olympic games in new ways," he writes. "Of my favorites, has to come from the cameras situated at the bottom of the pools and the underwater photographer who was allowed to shoot during the surfing events."
- Speaking of which, Reuters features its own Stunning Photos Taken Underwater at the Olympics while showcasing three photos from Day 12. The Associated Press adds its Day 12 Highlights, too.
- In Just Good Food, Kirk Tuck writes, "Sometimes it's fun just to enjoy things. Like food." Well, photos of food, anyway.
- Suzanne Sease features Ryan Dearth's portraits of Cosplayers. "This is an ongoing project and if you'll be in costume for Denver's Comic Con in 2025, please reach out. I'd love to photograph you," he says.
- Jason Rows discusses the advantages of Shooting Video on an iPhone 15 Pro.
- Vital Impacts is offering Environmental Photography Grants and Mentorships that include one grant totaling $20,000, six grants worth $5,000 each and 10 mentorships. "Recipients will have the opportunity to work on their projects over the span of twelve months, bringing these impactful stories to life," the organization said. Applications will close Sept. 15.
- In Anchoring Trust in Visual Content, Paul Melcher argues, "We don't truly trust software or algorithms; we trust the individuals and organizations behind them. This simple truth holds the key to preserving the integrity of visual content in our digital world."
