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 a Swiss glacier, a selfie in the Uffizi, Peach Fuzz, Project Indigo, Apple's image sensor, Leica at 100, Darktable and a free macro webinar.
- Matthias Schrader photographed A Swiss Glacier Melting under the heat of global warming. Switzerland has already lost up to 1,000 small glaciers and the bigger ones are increasingly at risk, he notes.
- A Photo Gone Wrong in the Uffizi (gift link) fuels selfie worries in Europe's museums. "On Saturday, a visitor to the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy, stepped backward into a painting while trying to pose like its subject, Ferdinando de’ Medici, a 17th-century grand prince and patron of the arts," writes Amelia Nierenberg.
- Suzanne Sease features Peach Fuzz, the personal project of Eve Abeler and Hadley Sui. "Food stylist and pastry chef Hadley Sui approached me with an exciting concept: capturing the essence of the Pantone Color of the Year 2024, affectionately named Peach Fuzz, through food photography," Abeler writes.
- Julieanne Kost introduces Project Indigo, Adobe's new computational photography camera app. "It's available for iPhone 12 Pro and newer, with the best performance on iPhone 15 Pro models," she writes.
- Y.M.Cinema Magazine reports Apple Just Patented an Image Sensor With 20 Stops of Dynamic Range. The two-layered stacked sensor design also features an innovative on-pixel architecture with built-in noise sensing circuitry.
- Leica is celebrating it centennial anniversary of the Leica I, the first mass-produced 35mm camera introduced in 1925. To commemorate the centenary of this technological milestone, Leica Camera AG is introducing a collection of exclusive special edition cameras and a book under the title 100 Years of Leica.
- Darktable 5.2.0 has been released. You can now view snapshots side-by-side with the current image, configure the metadata module, use the new raster mask import module and export using multiple presets in one single export run.
- LensBaby will present Modern Macro Photography, a free live webinar with Tiffany Kelly on July 10 at 5 pm. PST. Kelly will demonstrate a more intuitive, handheld approach that embraces movement, creative blur and the emotional impact of shallow depth of field.
