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 RSPCA Young Photographer Awards, Georgia, configuring the Nikon Zf, the Pentax Film Project camera, World War I images and memories.
- Sarah Gilbert presents a selection of the natural world winning entries in the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards.
- In 2016, Polish photojournalist Tytus Grodzicki travelled through Georgia, creating a portrait of the country and its people. "I would like to convey openness toward the unknown to others, to the beauty of simple things, to the beauty of small gestures and emotions between people," he says. "Daily life is universal for everyone -- it's very simple, but it's also very important."
- So How Am I Configuring the Nikon Zf? Thom Hogan asks himself. He lists 10 things he does with the settings so he can work conveniently in either Manual or Aperture Priority mode.
- What Will the Pentax Film Project Camera Look Like? Mike Johnston asks. "I've been reviewing cameras for longer than most of today's camera engineers have been adults, and have forgotten more about using Pentax film cameras than most people know." So he expects to be disappointed. Again.
- A Reddit poster worries about Developing Photos From World War I taken by a great grandfather and "exposed to light over the last 106 years." Turns out they don't need to develop film but to get negatives printed.
- In What Happens When the Happy Memories Fade (gift link), Margaret Renkl remembers Christmas happiness as snapshots, or the briefest of video clips. "Like the flash from a cube on my father's Instamatic camera, it lasted only a moment," she writes. "Even then the Kodachrome colors were already beginning to fade, leaving just that one scrap of brightness to carry through the years."
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look five years back. And please support our efforts...
