Ben:

I recently produced a video I thought might be of interest to yourself and your readers. I set myself the challenge of capturing a cinematic sequence with one restriction…I could only use focal lengths of 100mm or greater. I feel that like a lot of filmmakers, I tend to use wide lenses a lot of the time, so wanted to learn more about the purpose of long lenses and the unique shots that they can achieve. It was a fun experiment and my little girl was very patient while I asked her to walk up a hill…again and again and again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwM5A2KN9JQ

I took this photo three days ago inside the Covid-19 intensive care station in Bolzano (Italy). This men is finally recovering after two weeks of intubation. The doctor is holding his hand while he has the first chat with him.

This is a small story of hope that may be a good omen for the year to come. I wish you all Merry Christmas and a quick recover from this very hard year!
