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 (with more than 140 characters). This time we look at the greatest show on earth, more Photoshop shortcuts, the Godox AD200 and therapeutic photography.
- Alan Taylor celebrates The Finale of 'The Greatest Show on Earth' with 24 photos. We can't help shedding a clown tear in our cotton candy.
- Julieanne Kost continues her series on shortcuts with 20 Brush and Painting Tool Shortcuts in Photoshop CC. Can you guess all 20?
- Kirk Tuck raves about his compact but powerful Godox AD200 portable flash as convenient as a small strobe but as versatile as a monobloc. "My test run was perfect," he reports. "I like the unit. I like the bare bulb head. I'll buy the second AD200 this week. Goodbye traditional studio gear."
- In Photography & Depression: A Journey, commercial photographer Johnny Graham salutes the therapeutic effects of his passion. "Ultimately it gave me a voice and helped me rebuild the most important pillar I had, myself," he writes. "Whether or not photography is a passion you should give it consideration as an output to help you manage and potentially beat stress, anxiety or depression."
