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 harvest supermoon, Warm Waters, freed prisoners, shooting exotic cars, ergonomics and manipulated photos.
- Reuters presents Rare Harvest Supermoon Partial Lunar Eclipse from around the world.
- Suzanne Sease features Warm Waters,, the personal project (and a book) of Vlad Sokhin documenting climate change recently featured on NPR.

"With my Sony A1 camera and a wide-angle 35mm 1.4 lens, I began taking photos of their hands as they tried to get the attention of the few photojournalists who were there."

- Is It True That Photographs Have Always Been Manipulated? Yes but, Mike Johnston explains.
