Martin Stavars is a master at capturing an incredible tonal range in his images. When combined with his ability to seek out powerful compositions in his cityscapes, the results are phenomenal. I’ve long been a fan of his use of long exposures to capture movement among his stationary subjects. Martin now travels the world to capture his intense and powerful cityscapes – including London, Hong Kong, Paris, and Tokyo. Via Johann Barnard

"Columbia University has announced the 2012 Pulitzer Prize winners for photography. The prize for Breaking News Photography was awarded to Massoud Hossaini of Agence France-Presse for, 'his heartbreaking image of a girl crying in fear after a suicide bomber’s attack at a crowded shrine in Kabul.' The winner in the Feature Photography category is Craig F. Walker of The Denver Post, 'for his compassionate chronicle of an honorably discharged veteran, home from Iraq and struggling with a severe case of post-traumatic stress.' The annual awards include a cash prize of US$10,000. Information on this year's awards and the winning photographs can be found on the Pulitzer Prizes site. Massoud Hossaini is an Afghanistan-born photographer, raised in Iran, who became a political activist during that country's 'Reformists Movement' in the late nineties. It was during this time that he chose photography as a means of documenting the events around him, covering the plight of Afghan refugees and the post-9/11 War on Terrorism in Afghanistan. He has worked for Agence France-Presse since 2007. Craig F. Walker has been a staff photojournalist at the Denver Post since 1998. He has chronicled personal stories of domestic AIDs survivors as well as the World Trade Center attack and US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a previous Pulitzer Prize winner (2010) for a his series of images about a teenage American soldier during the height of violence in Iraq." Via Philippe Gassmann 
One of the continual dances that I see in photography is the interplay between the big picture and the small details. The title of this portfolio, Memories of India, tells us the big picture. In the photograph above, however, it is the small details that attract our attention — and make this a successful photograph. Via Mario Pires 
I shoot almost exclusively in Manual Mode these days, and I get anxious at the thought of giving my cameras' computer control of my exposure. Yeah sure, they often do a superb job at calculating exposure; but only under the most "generic of circumstances" not applicable to most real world photographers' creative needs. I found that I've really become used to the connection between the subject in frame and my manipulation of the exposure, which is to say that my stance about exclusive manual shooting is more than just being something a "pro" would say to distinguish his skill or expertise in the field. There's something about manual exposure control that once you have experience with, you won't easily give up.
