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 Reuters' Instagram photos, the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder evidence, image quality differences in sensor size and the Adobe Lightroom Holiday Contest.
- Reuters shares its Most Popular Instagram Photo of the year. Rugby players exchange shorts? Who knew?
- In A City of Cameras: How New York Police Are Hunting a Killer (gift link) Maria Cramer details the numerous images captured of the gunman who shot Brian Thompson, the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare. "On Wednesday, cameras inside a Starbucks two blocks from the crime scene that the gunman visited minutes before the shooting captured his partially hidden face," she writes of one of them. The Guardian, though, has the Photo of Suspect. And Chris Gampat identifies the shooter's Peak Design Everyday Backpack. UnitedHealthcare manages AARP's supplemental Medicare program.
- In Start With the Work and Work Backwards, Mike Johnston quotes Dave Millier's comment on the image quality differences in sensor size when printing 12z12-inch prints. None. "There is only so much real detail a printer can lay down on paper per inch and that seems to be the limitation," he writes.
- Two winners, each awarded $10,000, will be chosen in the Adobe Lightroom Holiday Contest, one in December (deadline Dec. 18) and another in January (deadline Jan. 31, 2025). Your image must be holiday themed and edited with Lightroom only before being shared on social media.
