The Canon Magazine 47
Welcome...
MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
allows you to transform
ordinary objects into the
extraordinary, so on my first
issue of PhotoPlus, I’ve lined
up two macro projects for
you. Get to grips with the
basics of macro, then move
onto a more advanced
home setup to create
amazing abstract art from
cooking oil in water.
If you’re in a landscapes
mood then be sure to read
our editor’s project to find
out what gear you need for
perfect sunsets. But if you
don’t get the weather you
envisioned (we are in the UK
after all!) you can follow our
tutorial in Elements to
discover the easy way to
replace skies to give your
shots a brand-new look fast.
Be sure to check out our
shutter speed masterclass,
and also how to make tricky
selections in Photoshop CC
too. We also continue our
ever popular Affinity Photo
tutorials, divulging the easy
way to replicate the wet
plate look using our
free start images.CANON SKILLS
