China: Grain to pixel

Shown for the first time outside China, this exhibition promises an interesting insight into the 80-year history of Chinese photography, from an era of black-and-white documentary through to more recent contemporary images.

Working with layers

Adjustment layers are among the most useful editing functions, partly because they enable you to edit non-destructively but also because you can use the Layers function to select part of an image and work on it without affecting the remainder of the image. The best way to visualise layers is as transparent overlays upon which specific effects are applied.

The second Brumbies home game of the season and the first time I’d fired the day-old 7D Mark ll – a steep learning curve after my previous Canon bodies (30D, 50D and 5D Mk2). I was mighty impressed with the 7D’s focus tracking system, which was a big bonus considering the arms, legs and bodies going everywhere and getting in the way of the intended subject hidden away inside a scrum.
