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 Ferdinando Scianna, Laure Andrillon, the Platypod eXtreme, fun, using Reference View, B&W plug-ins and Drobo.

  • Marizio Fiorino interviews Italian photographer Ferdinando Scianna in 'I've Taken a Million Pictures -- 50 Were Good'. The 79-year-old says photography was a passion for 60 years, "And it is over today." Scianna expounds amusingly on many themes before tossing in his "theory of the three risottos," just for fun.
  • In Storm Chasers, Heidi Volpe talks to San Francisco photographer Laure Andrillon about her assignment for GEO Magazine. "When we experienced our first tornado from up close, in McAlester, Oklahoma, it created a deep bond between the other guests and I," she says. "It was a dream for them and I was there to see it fulfilled."
  • Dave Williams performs death-defying Extreme Tests on the new Platypod eXtreme, which survived them all. "The strength considerations put into the design really goes a long way to reassuring me in trusting the Platypod with my expensive gear in more precarious positions," he writes.
  • Jason Row lists Four Ways to Put the Fun Back Into Photography. Did it go somewhere, the fun? Anyway, healthy suggestions. Fun is healthy.
  • Julieanne Kost highlights Editing Photos Using Reference View in Lightroom Classic. The old Before & After approach helps educate the eye.
  • Derrick Story takes a peek at Silver Efex and ON1 Effects for Black and White imaging in his latest podcast. "We have many options for monochromes in the digital age," he writes. Indeed.
  • In Dear Drobo; Please Get Better, Chris Gampat comes to praise the company not to bury it. "Overall though, I just believe that Drobo will have a very hard time restructuring," he writes.

More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
