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 LA's arcades, nordic landscapes, Nancy Rubin, a Nikon wishlist and global shutters.
- Frank Bohbot writes about his Timeless Portraits of LA's Arcades (gift link). "Arcades allow us to dream -- but they also place us inside the dream," he writes. "They bring us out of reality."
- Grace Ebert features the Snowy Nordic Landscapes photographed by Finnish photographer Mikko Lagerstedt. "Ice clings to tree branches, an aurora streaks through the sky and vast fields of snow cover the ground in scenes that are both serene and full of grandeur," she writes.
- Berkeleyside profiles Nancy Rubin, whose high school class project to write a letter to your future self is chronicled in the documentary Hi, I’m Nancy Rubin. After retiring in 2002, Rubin became proficient in photography. "For her, photography felt like a natural continuation of her career in teaching, 'since I have always loved observing people and listening to their stories,' Rubin says in the film," writes Ally Markovich. Her portraits of Fathers were exhibited in 2015.
- Thom Hogan's 2023 Wishlist for Nikon includes three Z-system bodies and six lenses. "My actual wish, though, is that the accessories guys, whoever they are, get better integrated into the camera group and executing in the same time frame," he writes.
- There's an interesting discussion on Reddit about Global Shutters prompted by Hogan's Still No Global Shutter? A global shutter reads the whole sensor data at the same time.The common rolling shutter reads data off the sensor line by line, introducing a slight delay in reading the top section of the sensor from the bottom, which can cause distortion with fast moving subjects and in video.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
