Around The Horn
14 October 2017
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 life in Sonoma County, four lighting techniques, Dawoud Bey, a Bill Cunningham story, Dehazing autumn leaves and a Copyright Office rule proposal.
- In Oh Yes, We're Definitely Having the Workshop (And Everything Else), Derrick Story updates the situation in Sonoma County as the fires continue to burn. "Many of us haven't had a home to go to since 1 a.m. Monday morning," he writes. "And true, our productivity right now isn't what it will be soon. We have to spend big chunks of our day helping others less fortunate, finding services and dealing with rustic living conditions." But he's working, he adds.
- Zach Sutton illustrates Four Lighting Techniques to Try on Your Next Photo Shoot. He shows both the setups (which are not overly complex) and the results (which are dramatically different from each other).
- Christopher Borrelli interviews photographer Dawoud Bey after being awarded a 2017 MacArthur Foundation grant. "When you are able to stand before a photograph of a person who you don't know and you still have a connectiveness through that photo -- that's what I try to do," Bey says.
- My Bill Cunningham Story is John Druzba's true story of an only-in-New-York encounter with New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham:
- In Dehaze for Fall ... Say What?, Moose Peterson discovers Camera Raw's Dehaze can cut through the haze to bring out fall colors. With an interesting tip about blue channel saturation.
- Carolyn Wright reports the Copyright Office Proposes Rule to Establish a Group Registration for Unpublished Works. The rule "would allow the Office to more easily examine each work for copyrightable authorship, to create a more robust record of the claim and to improve the overall efficiency of the registration process," she points out. Efficiency, that's the ticket.
