I
t’s the season to be jolly... you know the rest. I love Christmas as,
not only is it a good excuse to meet up with friends and family for a
few festive drinks, it gives you a big excuse to ask Santa for (or treat
yourself to) new camera kit! To give you some brilliant ideas we have
our Big Christmas Photo Kit Guide on page 65. With over fifty great
products from under £15 to over £399, there’s something to suit every
budget this year. If you’re looking for bigger new toys to buy then check
our Canon Gear of the Year where we reveal the very best Canon EOS
cameras, lenses and accessories of 2019, from page 105.
Also inside, our PhotoPlus Apprentice stays in the warm and learns
how to take beautiful lifestyle portraits in the home, using nothing more
than window light and the occasional reflector! See page 8 for how Canon
pro Rebecca Faith teaches our Apprentice how to take top Hot Shots and
get the most out of prime lenses.
We explain all you need to know to take great images of winter wildlife,
from the right gear for the job to key camera settings and quick photo
techniques, from page 28. In our Canon skills section, from page 45, we
have more new photo projects, including how to fake car studio photos,
and close-up shots on shoestring budget, plus ensure your landscape
photos are as sharp as possible, and new image-editing tutorials in
Elements, CC and Affinity Photo – all with free video guides.
We interview up-and-coming and rising star award-winning wildlife
photographer, Michel D’Oultremont, (page 72) and there’s more expert
techniques in Canon School from page 88,
plus we answer more of your tough techie
questions in EOS SOS, on page 92.Welcome
