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 the World Gymnastics Championships, the Marché Jean-Talon market, Kenrokuen Garden, action cameras, Frame.io, autumn and an iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max review.
- John Windmill presents image from the World Gymnastics Championships: Women's Team Final from Antwerp where the U.S. won their seventh consecutive gold medal.
- Kirk Tuck posted more images from his trip to Montreal, including a set from Marché Jean-Talon, an open air market in the Italian neighborhood, which he visited twice. "On both visits I took only one camera and one lens. The camera was the Leica M240 and the lens was the Voigtlander 50mm APO," he writes.
- Harold Davis is Coming Into Kanazawa after a long day of travel. But he escaped his hotel room (with four remote controls) to take photos in Kenrokuen Garden.
- Zach Sutton surveys the field for The Best Action Camera. "As I expected, all of the footage from the cameras is surprisingly similar overall and all eight cameras I tested in this are capable of producing really great footage," he writes.
- Hillary Grigonis reviews Adobe's Frame.io which makes automatic camera-to-cloud uploads on certain hardware. "Frame.io and camera-to-cloud have the potential to change a big part of how future cameras work," she writes. "But, this early in the concept's young life, Frame.io has limited appeal."
- JasenkaG compiles 27 Stunning Autumn Images. "Even if you're not into landscape photography, you should try it during the autumn season," she writes.
- Jason Snell reviews the iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max with an incisive look at the camera changes. "The iPhone 15 Pro Max's image stabilization is remarkable, counteracting shaky human hands and (on both phones) when you zoom in a lot, a pop-up of the full frame appears to give you guidance about exactly where you're aiming," he writes. W"ell done."
