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. This time we look at the Paralympics, Puerto Rico, the War in Iraq, Humza Deas, Photoshop's layer options, the need to edit and a used gear sale.
- In Looking at the Paralympics With a New York Times Photographer, Ben Shpigel follows N.Y. Times photographer Chang W. Lee to the games for athletes with impairments. And yes, he was there for the ice hockey final between the U.S. and Canada that went into overtime before the U.S. won its third straight gold. He had less than 10 percent left on his battery.
- Portraits of Suffering and Resilience in Puerto Rico Six Months After Hurricane Maria presents a selection of Eduardo Meléndez's photos of Puerto Rico from the last six months.
- In Looking Back at the War in Iraq, 15 Years After the US Invaded, Alan Taylor captures history in 50 images from the war. "The Iraq War caused more than 150,000 deaths, cost trillions of dollars and its repercussions continue to have strong effects in the region, on foreign policy and on thousands of families to this day," he writes.
- Capture One has released another video in its Dedication series, this one featuring Humza Deas, best known for his drone photography with sweeping views of New York City:
- Julieanne Kost highlights Select and Filter Layer Options in Photoshop CC, which have become more complex in recent releases.
- In Why SOOC Still Isn't Really Workable, Ming Thein argues that "straight-out-of-the-camera" shots are "inherently compromised." Editing, that is, provides the only path to realizing what you want others to see in your photos. And he illustrates the point with his own images.
- BorrowLenses is offering an extra 20 percent off its used gear when you use the code SAVEONUSED at checkout through Mar. 27.
