The Canon Magazine 45
Welcome...
WITH the days getting
shorter it’s much easier to
shoot at night, so follow our
big project on page 46 to
discover how you can get
some wonderful images in
the ‘blue’ hour. Shutter
speed is a core part of the
exposure triangle and this
month we have two projects
that will help you master
motion. See how to capture
blur clouds in landscapes on
page 50, and how to inject
motion with motorbikes
zooming around a racetrack
on page 52.
Polarizing filters are an
essential accessory as their
results cannot be replicated
easily in post-production, so
be follow our top tips on how
to use them on page 56.
If weather isn’t permitting
for outdoor photography, be
sure to try one of our editing
tutorials, from a classic
colour pop (page 58),
watercolour effects (page
60) and a day-to-night tricks
using Affinity Photo (page
62). Get stuck in and enjoy
creating all kinds of
photographic magic!CANON SKILLS
