Cool Stuff, Week of February 1, 2013
Cool StuffWelcome to Cool Stuff, a weekly feature where we post our favorite links from the past week, including our favorite articles and how-tos, videos, images and more.
- We love it when one of our own gets a nod from someone we admire. Our very own Alex Huff was mentioned in this week’s episode of Photography Tips and Tricks, by none other than R.C. Concepcion. Have a look at the end of the video below.
- The Sony RX1 has become a favorite around these parts; check out this Russian-made turret universal optical viewfinder that seems to work perfectly with it.
- Any time Philip Bloom does a gear review, we tend to drop everything and listen. Here, he breaks down the Canon 1DC for you. As usual, it’s a thorough, full-featured review.
- This one’s for the retouchers among you. The guys at PhotoShelter have established a reputation not just for being a great photo hosting service, but also for bringing you some fantastic original content via their blog. In this webinar, they talk to veteran retoucher Amy Dresser about her process and technique – and it’s worth watching every second.
- And finally, from the “If he opens his mouth to talk, you should be quiet and listen department,” the Phillipines’ 24/7 cable news network, ANC, sat down with Joe McNally for a really good interview.
And now, for the BorrowLenses.com Roundup!
- Our fans responded in droves to our call for the best of their 2012 images. They’re now up at http://www.borrowlenses.com/blog/2013/02/your-best-shots-of-2012/
- BL is hiring! Wanna come work here? Can you do Biz Dev? Check out the listing!
- You’ve heard a lot about it. Now it’s coming to BL! The mythic Nikon 800mm lens is on its way!
