Remember that I mentioned things would be different for The Journal. Well, this issue continues to illustrate the make-over and has converted to news and stories, rather than reviews, new thing mentions, etc. For issue 72 of The Journal we have All About Photography's "Nature" winners, Sony's dominance of the sensor market, Rainbow Contrails, Bird Photo Tips, Sony World Photography Awards 2023, as well as the return of AIPAD to The Armory.
|
The September/October issue of Shadow & Light Magazine is in the layout stage and is shaping up rather nicely. I got an early start on this release which enables me to be more intentional with the that process.
|
The Featured Showcase Portfolio artist is Chris Jordan, who has relocated from Seattle to Chile where he captures images of oceans, mountains, and other naturally peaceful surroundings. Other Showcase Portfolio artists are Jim Larimer, Tom Chambers, Claudia Cammirata, Fred Zafran, Robin Bell, and a review of Anne Berry's compelling new book, "Behind Glass." E.E. McCollum and Steve Immel return with their regular columns, Mindful Matters and Telling Stories.

I am putting the final touches on a year-long photography course which will enable students to widen their perspective while working on developing a more creative mindset. This course is designed for those who are stuck-in-a-rut and don't know where to go next. We will look at and learn from a wide range of art. Assignments will be fun and at times unique. Deciding on an annual course structure will enable student and teacher alike time to hone their skill-set. You can check out the details, here.
|
If you have questions or considerations about the course, please contact me, below.

Wow! Rare Rainbow Contrails Caught on Camera
A series of stunning rainbow contrails were captured by amateur photographer Soumyadeep Mukherjee, from Kolkata, India.
|
|
Contrails are a type of ice cloud produced when water vapor generated from the airplane's engines condenses and freezes around dust particles or with the water vapor already present in the air, according to NASA.
|
Rainbow contrails are produced when the frozen water droplets diffract sunlight in the same direction.

Sony Dominates the Sensor Market
There's an image sensor inside every camera, phone and device that records stills or video – and Sony has a 42% chokehold on this market. Yet Canon, despite being the biggest camera manufacturer in the world, only has 1% of it.
|
What's more, the only other manufacturer that makes its own sensors, Panasonic has less than a 1% share of the market – which was valued at $21.29 billion (approximately £16.67 billion / AU$32.35 billion) in 2022.
