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 BigPicture Natural World photography competition, the Sony FE 85mm f1.8 G, Kevan Wilkinson, New Orleans, Apple Photos in High Sierra and Google Photos 3.0 sharing.
- In Winners of the BigPicture Natural World Photography Competition, Alan Taylor presents 12 of the 6,000 photos entered in the contest held by the California Academy of Sciences.
- Roger Cicala did some Sharpness Tests of the Sony FE 85mm f1.8 G. Conclusion? "We have a reasonable performance 85mm f1.8 lens at a fairly reasonable price in FE mount now," he writes.
- Kevan Wilkinson decided to shoot California Wine Country in Black and White. "My goal was to capture landscape images that showed a slightly different perspective of this famous wine country," he says, noting he's been visiting it for "well over two decades."
- Meanwhile Derrick Story took a different approach with black-and-white in B&W in New Orleans. He put a Panasonic 20mm f1.7 on his Olympus PEN-F and hit the streets.
- Jason Snell goes Hands on With Photos for macOS High Sierra covering the changes and new features to Apple's free image editing software. Snell concludes "this update to Photos is a big stride forward."
- In Give and Get the Photos You Care About. James Gallagher, Google Photos engineering director, explains the new sharing features of the new release, rolling out now.
