The Canon Magazine 45
Welcome...
WINTER is a brilliant time
to photograph wildlife and
landscapes, so be sure to
check out our projects on
pages 52 and 56 to see how
you can capture a burst of
action and increase the
sharpness in landscapes.
If you’d rather remain
cosy inside then be sure to
check out Peter’s ‘close-ups
on the cheap’ photo project
on page 50 as he
transforms waste product
packaging into gold and
silver... no he’s not found a
philosopher’s stone, he’s
been crafting budget
reflectors with cardboard
from the recycling!
James has been giving
his classic car a high-end
studio look, but with his car
on the drive, and two studio
flash heads and Photoshop
to work with, see page 46.
And if editing is more
your cup of tea then be sure
to check out our tutorials on
using the free triptych
templates, adding splash
effects in Photoshop and
creating HDRs with Serif’s
Affinity Photo as well.VIDEO DISC #160
