Stuff You’ll Like

A weekly compendium of stuff I found I thought you’d like. If you do, let me know, so I know to find more of it for you.

  • Photocritic: Visualising Studio Lighting.
  • Read/Write/Web: first look at snapgroups. I’ve been waiting to see what Mark Fletcher (Bloglines and Onegroup, which became Yahoo Groups)  had up his sleeve. It’s SnapGroups, which is a fresh take on community/group/forum/list type setups. At first glance, looks very interesting. This looks like it might give Yahoo Groups a run for its money. Already beats the hell out of Google Groups, but then, so does a hit to the head..
  • Jeremy Pollack: 5 Lightroom Quick Tips
  • George Barr: One in a Hundred
  • Michael Zhang: Time-Lapse of the Milky Way over Hawaii. Awesome.
  • Jim Goldstein: Gates of the Valley, Yosemite National Park
  • David duChemin: Confessions of a So-Called Pro
  • Michael Johnston: National Geographic ten top photos of 2009. there’s been some grumbling about NatGeo’s choice of photos here. I think photographers need to step back a bit and see that these were chosen as much for (if not primarily for) the story they’re telling as the photo and quality itself. Great NatGeo work, but the photo is the vehicle, not the purpose.
  • Rob Knight: unclutter your library with lightroom’s stacks.
  • Joe Pelletier: Trail of the Stanley Cup. One of the rarest and most sought after hockey book set. Laurie owns all three volumes as part of her collection. Her collection is around 500 volumes, not including media guides (more or less complete back into the 80′s and other volumes earlier) and programs (a few thousand, something like 20 linear feet of them going back into the 30′s) or my collection of rulebooks (including ones going back into the 40′s). At one point when we were actively collecting we kept hearing about another collector in B.C. we kept hearing about in various stores — one store told us he wanted to meet us as he was buying for the Hockey Hall of Fame and wanted to buy our collection. No idea how true it was, nobody ever followed up with us on it. Most of that was “before eBay”, today, anything worthwhile ends up online there or on abebooks or one of the other used services, and it’s almost impossible to find really rare stuff at non-insane prices, so mostl we don’t… but while we were building this collection, we sure had a lot of fun wading through dusty bookstores…
  • Juan Pons: Favorite Images from my “Winter in Yellowstone” instructional photo workshop. (sigh. jealous).
  • Mike Panic: 7 things photographers should never do
