This time we look at insect macro techniques, abstractions, Nikon's strobes, Adobe looks for rising stars in broad daylight and last night on The Photo Show.
- Robin Wong's Insect Macro Photography Techniques continues with Part II and more dramatic shots of that other-worldly micro universe.
- In Abstractions, Harold Davis suggests that, as photographers, pattern recognition is one of our strengths. With two examples.
- In Where Is Nikon Flash These Days? Thom Hogan sums up the state of the strobe for both the radio-controlled Unified Flash Control camp and the older optically-controlled camp. He bemoans the state of remote flash control "but you'd be surprised how often that moving the light stand is the actual adjustment made. "
- Adobe has launched its Rising Stars program to highlight the work, stories and blossoming careers of 10 up-and-coming photographers, ages 14 to 36, from four continents.
- If you didn't catch our plug for Mike Pach's The Photo Show last night, here's the mystery guest you missed.
More to come! Meanwhile, please support our efforts...
