The panel share new images — Dammo from Birmingham Library and Cracks Hill, Ian with fungi and wildlife from Westcountry Wildlife Centre, and Neil with local sailing.

We chat about the Harvest Supermoon, the new Laowa 180mm f4.5 1.5x macro, and how photography supports mental health.

Saved you a click: Use external drives and print photos instead of using cloud storage.

Also the irony of them having a sponsor is not lost on me.

Article: Look Inside a 150-Year-Old Camera

It's a camera obscura. It's a building that uses the properties of a camera, and it's rather neat.

Article: Couples Are Hiring TikTok Creators to Avoid Waiting Weeks for Professional Wedding Photos

https://petapixel.com/2022/12/27/couples-are-hiring-tiktok-creators-to-avoid-waiting-weeks-for-professional-wedding-photos/

There's a lot of stuff I hate about TikTok, but I also dislike gatekeepers who draw an imaginary line between "professionals" and "people who get paid to do a thing."

I'm thrilled the TikTok users are finding ways to make money using their skills. Goodness knows their platform doesn't pay much.

Article: Video Game Photography in the 2020s: We've come a long way since the PS2

https://www.dpreview.com/articles/1780408794/video-game-photography-in-the-2020s-we-ve-come-a-long-way-since-the-ps2

I remember in the early days of Flickr the policy was to /only/ allow photos, which made a lot of video game players (mostly Second Life, IIRC) very upset, because they felt their screencaps were as valid, compositionally, as something created with a camera.

This was back when game graphics could only hope to render scenes this realistic.

Article: Photographer Sues Gannett for $34 Million For Copyright Infringement

https://petapixel.com/2022/12/15/photographer-sues-gannett-for-34-million-for-copyright-infringement/

Gannett shared a screenshot in a significant number of news agencies, crediting the photographer but not asking for permission or providing compensation.

Yeah, copyright is long overdue for an overhaul that strips back a lot of its power, but this is a case that shows why we still need it in at least some capacity.

https://www.rangefinderonline.com/news-features/industry-news/after-company-tries-to-copyright-his-photo-photographer-wins-almost-1-2m/

Before you reply with a statement about how evil copyright is, understand that copyright law is how this independent photographer was able to win this case. Otherwise the business would have been able to just keep using his art without fear of repercussions.

#Copyright Law is not black and white good or bad. It's a tool.

Article: You’ve got a new camera. Now what? Part two

https://photofocus.com/photography/youve-got-a-new-camera-now-what-part-two/

Most photo guides I find online assume you already have $2000+ in gear and know all the vocabulary to go with it.

It's nice to find one going over the basics, many of which apply even if you aren't using a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
