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 lowriders, Jwst images, the Fujifilm GFX100 II, incomes, travel tripods and the square format.
- In How Low Can You Go?, Mee-Lai Stone presents Owen Harvey's images of Chicano lowrider culture in Los Angeles.
- In Process Your Own JWST Images at Home, Rami Mandow shows how he processed data from astronomy's newest legacy space-based observatory. "Over the last year and a half, I've been downloading JWST data and color processing it, to bring out the beautiful details of many different types of space objects, so I thought I would share how you too can also do this," Mandow writes.
- In All About the Medium, Mike Johnston compares the new Fujifilm GFX100 II to its predecessor and competitors physically.
- Rob Haggart continues his series Photographers, How Much Do You Make? with one more commercial photographer, this one based in the San Francisco Bay area.
- Jasenka Grujin lists The 10 Best Travel Tripods. Which is amusing because who knew there even are 10 of them?
- In Why Square Format Portraits Are the Best, Chris Gampat enthuses over shoot square in camera rather than cropping in post.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
