THOUGHTFUL LION-TAILED MACAQUE By: Gary Brookshaw Shot Details: A thoughtful Lion-tailed Macaque at Chester Zoo… His fur had a fairly clearly defined edge so I thought I would try the image on a black background… seems to work! Canon EOS 7D, with Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS II USM, at 70mm, f/2.8, 1/100 sec, ISO 100 Portfolio | Website AMUR LEOPARD By: Gary Brookshaw Shot Details: A stunning Amur Leopard named Xizi at WHF Big Cat Sanctuary. Amur Leopards are my favourite big cat but sadly critically endangered with as few as 70 adults in the wild… the rarest big cat in the world. Canon 7D, at 75mm, f/2.8, 1/640 sec, ISO 100 Portfolio | Website JACK By: Gary Brookshaw Shot Details: A wonderful Jungle Cat named Jack at…

I’d had the idea for this short film in my head for about one year before I started filming for it. I was constantly talking to my wife about the ideas for the shots I wanted to get and how I thought I could film it. Little did my wife know, at that point that I was going to put her in front of the camera! I shot the film at weekends and occasional nights, after gaining permission from the correct authorities, especially for the longer timelapse shoots. Thanks to a good friend for his assistance - you know who you are! I wanted to weave some slow motion shots together with timelapse work and see what the results would be and at the same time tell a short story…

In this photography tip we’re going to help you keep your camera up to date. Your camera has lots of little tiny digital elves and pixies inside called Firmware which it needs to make it work. Every now and then camera manufacturers update their camera firmware and all you have to do is update your camera’s firmware to have the best your digital SLR can offer. It’s pretty simple to do (even I can update my digital SLR firmware) and it’s certainly worth checking to make sure you have the latest update in order to keep your camera working well and your photos looking their best. To update your firmware you’ll need an internet connection, a couple of memory cards and/or a USB to connect your camera to the computer.…

SELECTING COLOR RANGE To select out the different colors, create a new layer and go to Select - Color Range. Click on the color you want to sample with the regular eyedropper tool. You can play with the fuzziness to get more of an accurate selection. Also, if you need to add or take away from your selection, you can use the eyedroppers with the plus and minus symbols next to them to do so. Next, go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Hue/Saturation. This will load your selection directly into the Hue/Saturation layer so that you can adjust the hue sliders and change only the colors you want to change! REFINING LAYER MASKS If you have small unwanted parts in a selection, you can always paint over it…

Photographic Speciality/Style: I take photos of both landscapes and seascapes. I particularly enjoy taking photos with little or no modern human elements and conversely scenes that include ancient or exotic pieces of architecture. I hope to recreate and convey how the scene felt when I was taking the photo whether its emphasising the feeling of isolation or enhancing the light and mood of that moment. Short Bio: I started taking photos “seriously” in 2012. It was something I enjoyed doing as a hobby and over time it has become an important part of my life. My love of the natural environment led me to do a Bachelor of Applied Science and photography of wild landscapes combines these two passions. I would love to be good at drawing and painting but…

Sooner or later, most of us come to the realization that we can’t always have the very best things in life. And that’s actually a good thing. After all, if all any of us ever did was drink Dom Perignon in the backseat of our chauffeured Bentleys as we were driven to our jobs as Condom Testers or Chief Cake Samplers, then those fancy, top-of-the-line things would eventually become routine and lose some of their luster and appeal. In other words, there’s definitely something to be said for things that are middle-of-theroad. A Toyota Camry may not get any gear heads drooling, and champagne will always be classier than boxed wine, but boxed wine can still get you pleasantly buzzed and a Camry can efficiently get you where you want…
