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 Olympus at 100, white rhinos, author photos, film vs. computational photography, another Fujifilm lens kit and that "passion" thing.
- To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Olympus has released A Great Moment, a 6:38 video in which a used camera shop technician, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer share the story of Olympus cameras and their insight on how Olympus influenced the world of photography:
- In To Serve and Protect, Justin Mott presents a set of images of the last two known living northern white rhinos. They are both female.
- In Author Photos: A Taxonomy, Emily Temple classifies the genre displayed on book jackets.
- In How Things Have Changed -- Nikon FA vs iPhone X, Derrick Story compares the same shot made with a film camera and a smartphone. Computational photography (smartphone) can make a nicer formal presentation but doesn't accurately capture the lighting, he notes.
- Kirk Tuck reveals his Ultimate Fujifilm X Series Lens Kit. Sit on your wallet while you read it, though. There are a lot of them -- and he forgot three others he uses.
- Stephanie Lee explains Why 'Find Your Passion' Is Such Terrible Advice. "We're pretty bad at most things when we first try them," she writes. But you don't "find" a passion. You develop it.
