The Canon Magazine 43
Welcome...
2020 IS the year to try out
new techniques and if
you’ve never tried your hand
at shooting videos or movies
before, then a time-lapse is
a great way to start because
Canon cameras make it so
easy to do! See Peter’s
project on page 48. Maybe
you’d like to try your hand at
portraits or wildlife? Well we
have two great techniques
on pages 44 where you’ll
merge a portrait with smoke
to make abstract art, or
shoot and convert a wildlife
shot to black and white to
give it a high-end studio feel
on page 50. If you get stuck
indoors, why not try our still
life project, page 54, where
you can get cinematic
results using a toy figurine,
smoke and a little editing.
