The end of the week is nigh! So you’re gonna need some links to help you cross into the next world. Or the weekend. We have the winners of Nat Geo’s first drone photography contest, the top World Cup photos and why they’re so fab, an interview with Exposed alum Jim Darling, and tigers designing jeans. Head towards the light:

  • You can read an interview with Exposed alum and local photographer Jim Darling in Atlantic Media Strategies.
  • The Guardian’s sports photo editor picks the top World Cup images and explains why they stood out from the 250,000 shots they received. Spend some time with these shots.
  • Photographer Melissa Golden wrote about her experience of being misquoted and having her work falsely represented in Politico, and works to clear her name.
  • Want to learn how to be a street photographer without being a jerk? Learn from four local photographers in this article on CityLab.
  • Need help getting your images copyrighted? Local photographer John Harrington made this video as a step-by-step guide to registering published images.
  • Local photographer Gaston Lacombe, who we interviewed last year, is showing his Antarctic penguin photos at Photoville in New York. The New Yorker has a slideshow of his images.
  • Photos by Gregg Segal of people lying in a week’s worth of their own trash.
  • Science magazine used a photo of transgender women with their heads cropped off as the cover for the latest issue, highlighting how to stay a “step ahead of HIV/Aids.” In a field that has been trying to attract more women, the cover did not go over well.
  • Is drone photography a fad, or here to stay? It may not matter when you look at these amazing drone photos.
  • Want to get a master class in space photography? Then read this Time interview with astronaut Don Pettit.
  • And finally, tigers are so awesome they are “designing” their own jeans.
