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 Hagia Sophia, watermarks, another Lighting 103 piece from David Hobby and all the available 35mm films.
- Ming Thein wraps up his two-part photo essay on Hagia Sophia (part I), "an incredible piece of engineering and architecture." The omnipresent scaffolding actually gives you a sense of scale.
- In Making Visible Watermarks More Effective, Tali Dekel and Michael Rubinstein discuss Google's development of "a computer algorithm can get past this protection and remove watermarks automatically" and how to make watermarks more effective.
- Strobist David Hobby continues his Lighting 103 series with Developing a Framework. "Think about the reasons behind the color of your lights and your palette will often take care of itself," he writes.
- Kosmo Foto has published These Are the 35mm Films You Can Still Buy Today, a three-part piece listing the films with sample images.
More to come! Meanwhile, please support our efforts...
