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 AP's week in pictures, the Governors Awards Red Carpet, layered starling murmurations, Robin de Puy, Tuscany, digicams and Apple's Clean Up.
- The Associated Press features its Week in Pictures: Global.
- Reuters showcases 35 photos of Style From the Governors Awards Red Carpet.
- Kate Mothes presents Kathryn Cooper's layered images of The Complexities of Starling Murmurations. "She uses a 19th-century photographic technique called chronophotography to reveal what she describes as 'the robustness of self-organised systems in nature,'" Mothes writes.
- Dutch photographer Robin de Puy travelled across the U.S. to capture Portraits of People with underrepresented voices. The portraits will be displayed on billboards along Nevada's Route 50.
- Joe McNally spent Fall in Tuscany. "It was a time of camaraderie, attended by the rich hues of Tuscany, beckoning our cameras and a time to thoroughly enjoy the magic of the Italian table. In the ancient Villa Pozzola, we would literally awake to the smells of a gorgeous breakfast, wafting down the rough hewn halls of this historic structure," he writes. Nice pictures too.
- Mike Johnston asks, Do You Have What You Need to Do Your Work? in response to a reader's comment on Jeff Keller's digicam reflections. Who made what for whom in those days? When we would ask manufacturers back then, stony silence would be the answer.
- In How Does Clean Up Measure Up? Joe Rosensteel discusses "some technical things I've noticed while using it and seeing the ways it is similar and different from some other photo retouching tools."
