The Canon Magazine 47
Welcome...
Studio FLASH has long
been associated with
pin-sharp, beautifully lit
portraits, but this month
we’re going to show you how
to use flash with colour gels
and a long shutter speed to
capture a sharp image
surrounded by swirls of
colourful motion.
We also show you how
to shoot at high speeds to
catch a match head burst
into flame. No extra light
sources required here, as
the explosion provides all
the necessary lighting.
If you’d prefer to take
your camera outdoors to
shoot some landscapes
then read our editor Peter’s
project on shooting sunrises
this month, or our project
on using a Lensball to give
landscapes a fresh twist.
If you’re more interested
in post-produciton, why not
