FANTASTIC CANON PHOTOGRAPHY
(^06) CARNIVAL TIME BY MELINDA NAGY
Melinda has captured a magical moment
from the carnival in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
She’s done well to frame up with the two
waving people on the left with a wonderful
stream of confetti spiralling towards them
from the right. My only criticism is that the
focus has locked onto the Church in the
background, rather than the two people.
Lens Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
Exposure 1/200 sec, f/7.1, ISO200
(^07) GOLDEN HOUR TRIO BY ALLAN MOIR
Allan tells us: “I was at the 2019 Venice
Carnival and I wanted to get away from the
main crowds, so asked these three people
in fancy dress to come over to the canal for
a more staged shot and got lucky with the
golden light as the sun set.”

(^08) THE NOVICE MONKS OF BURMA
BY UKU SÖÖT
We love the simplicity in the composition of
Uku’s shot, which he’s posed and carefully
taken the time to setup with two young
monks in each window. Usually, it’s best to
frame your shot with the rule of thirds, but
Uku’s symmetrical composition works very
strongly here and is all the better for it.
