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 Texas, Post-Brexit Britain, the Nikon Z5II, the Canon Hack Development Kit, Prints for Wildlife and decorum in churches.
- The Associated Press documents the Texas Legislature as "Republicans push for new political maps."
- Mee-Lai Stone features Netherlands photographer Merlin Daleman's images of Post-Brexit Britain in the UK’s "left behind" towns.
- Thom Hogan reviews the Nikon Z5II, which he took as his second camera on safari this summer (and illustrates the piece with images from that experience). "I really didn't feel I was losing much when I picked up my Z5II instead of my Z8 on a recent African safari," he writes.
- Feroz Khan loads the Canon Hack Development Kit on his 2009 Canon digicam to give it "features I'd only seen on dSLRs from the same era."
- Prints for Wildlife is a fundraiser for wildlife and nature conservation which has raised over $2.1 million since 2020. The fundraiser will launch tomorrow for one month only, during which you can view and order the images donated by photographers from around the world.
- A Reddit poster wonders about Decorum in Churches. If, in fact, it's OK to take photographs as people pray, even if the place is historic with a gift shop attached. Good answers.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
