We are back with some links for week 4 of 2019. It’s been a good week, I got away from my paternity leave and went to photograph Idrottsgalan (Swedish Sports Awards) on Monday. It was a nice change of pace and really has me looking forward to going back to work full time at the end of February.
Hong Kong from the Skies
The Guardian featuring aerial photography from Hong Kong. Looks like an incredibly expansive city and stretches to the horizon and beyond. Reminds me of when I was in Japan.
First look at Sony’s Impressive New Auto Focus
Not at all jealous.
Targeted Adjustment in Adobe Camera RAW
I can’t say that I use the targeted adjustment tool in Camera RAW before but after seeing this video I am definitely going to try it out. I really like the tools in Camera RAW where you can get away from the sliders and their values and work directly off of the image.
Interview with Pete Souza
Interview with Pete Souza, who was the official White House photographer for President Barack Obama.
Yes, Apple WILL Pay Photographers for Its ‘Shot on iPhone’ Contest
But only after the internet shamed them into doing so and it’s pathetic that it came down to that. That the worlds richest company expects to make a contest and use your photographs in their global marketing campaign without compensating you really rubs me the wrong way.
Exposure does not pay the bills. You can’t spend exposure at the grocery store or pay your insurance with it. You sure as hell can’t purchase an expensive MacBook Pro with it.
That’s all for this week.
