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 Sunday, Sacha Goldberger, sstriking Chinese seamen, a family portrait, the Voigtlander 90mm lens and four-shot pixel shift.
- Alan Taylor shares 28 photos of Superb Owl Sunday VIII. And that's about all we have to say about yesterday.
- In The Lady Does Not Vanish, French photographer Sacha Goldberger recreates key scenarios from Alfred Hitchcock films to create a series about relationships. "Each picture invites us to to take a position in relation to a situation that appeared normal in the last century," she says.
- Tim Adams examines Bert Hardy's 1942 photo of Striking Chinese Seamen in Liverpool which "captures an equal pay protest that led to deportations."
- Harold Davis had portrait photographer Nan Phelps take a Family Portrait "the old-fashioned way: with film and a medium format camera." He likes the candid result.
- Kirk Tuck showcases a few images shot with his new Voigtlander 90mm Lens in a Leica M mount. He used an M-to-L adapter to mount it on his Fujifilm GFX. "I'm very happy with the lens," he writes. "It performs well and, as a bonus, it's small, light and inexpensive." He also mounted it on his Leica M 240.
- In Four-Shot Pixel Shift and AA Filters, Jim Kasson writes, "If your objective is to have the crispest pixels when examined at 100 percent magnification, then you don't want an AA filter. If your goal is to make the best prints, then I submit that you do."
