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 Tibet, seaweed, Portrait of a City, a Hoya K2 yellow filter, an old lens and Hogan's news.
- Ng Han Guan documents Tibet as it marks "the 75th anniversary of what China calls the 'peaceful liberation' of Tibet in 1951, which critics describe as an invasion that has widely curtailed the rights and culture of Tibetans."
- Reuters presents 18 photos of a record surge of Seaweed swamping Mexico's Caribbean coast.
- Portrait of a City -- an exhibit with images by Peter Hujar, Garry Winogrand, Edward Steichen and more -- showcases over 100 works by some of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.
- In Me and the K2, Mike Johnston explains why he just bought a Hoya K2 yellow filter for his monochrome Sigma FP.
- In The Lens on the Back Shelf, Derrick Story takes his own advice and tries something new with an old lens. "I had forgotten how much I like this optic," he writes.
- In Sony Keeps Making News, Thom Hogan looks at Sony's new handheld video camera, the FX5, and the FCC's move against drones.
