On friday I went back to school and did part 1 of a 2 day advanced photoshop course. I learnt so much, really useful tools that should really speed up my post processing...Can't wait for part 2 now!
And yesterday I went to Brighton and saw a 9min film about kevin carter...interesting and thought provoking stuff.

Not sure how these photo journalists do cope... unfortunately for Kevin, not well. James Natchwey is another who manages to stay sane.
Will see this film when it comes to Canada.
very worth it. I did a 7 week course in the summer and learned so much about the use of layers. More important though is translating the histogram and how to use it to get the lighting you want. Colour balance is another important tool. Photoshop is fun, too bad the new macs don't work yet with it because I want to upgrade from my G5. Gotta wait for CS3
Another comment to add about photoshop. The raw converter, after you load photos into bridge, is a tool I hope they are really covering for you. We learned batch processing and using the white balance eye dropper in the raw converter, after you select all photos, to balance the colour of the entire batch at once! With the use of a grey card or just a neutral colour in one photo from the batch, the white balance eye dropper is a miraculous little tool. Everything we do is in the raw converter and we hardly go into photoshop for processing. So indredible and time saving.
OMG, he Kevin Carter story is so disturbing. The vulture photo just made my heart fall for that starving baby girl being stalked by a vulture. He must have felt such terrible anguish.
Great about the photoshop course, now you can teach me, LOL! It must be weird going back to class! I want to do that, though, and audit some art history classes so I won't have to take test again.
