Around The Horn

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 Sebastião Salgado, Dina Litovsky, the Vietnam War, the lunar eclipse, the Northern Lights, Photoshop actions, Leica batteries and Visualizing Climate Change.
- In An Immersive and Intimate Journey Through the Brazilian Amazon, Grace Ebert present images from a new 528-page book by Sebastião Salgado who spent six years on the project.
- In Amish Girls on Holiday at the Beach, Amy Fleming interviews Dina Litovsky about her best photograph. "I sat and chatted with the girls for some time and they asked me about life and photography and dating," she says. "Then the boys went down to the water and the girls followed them and signalled to me to come and take the picture."
- These Rare Vietnam War Images were taken by North Vietnamese combat photographers who documented the 30-year conflict. They're excerpted from the book Another Vietnam: Pictures of the War From the Other Side, published in 2002.
- Derrick Story captured the Lunar Eclipse With Wispy Cloud with his Olympus Pro 40-150mm lens at f2.8 using 1/1.3 second exposure at ISO 1600.
- Odd-Petter talks about photographing the Northern Lights and everything it led to for him.
- Julieanne Kost continues her series 3, 2, 1, Photoshop! with Ten Tips for Working With Actions:
- Kirk Tuck buys a Leica BP-SCL4 Lithium Battery for $285 and barely lives to tell about it. "I am always amazed at what Leica can get away with," he writes. On the plus side, "Everything else feels like such a bargain now."
- Visualizing Climate Change: An Open Call for Photography, a partnership between U.K. climate change charity Climate Outreach and the non-profit TED, is now accepting submissions for its $100,000 licensing initiative. The initiative will source, license and promote 100 images of climate change taken by both professional and amateur photographers from around the world. Deadline is June 30.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
