Welcome...

hello! Photography, as you’ll have heard a million times, is all about light. The best pros can enhance lighting conditions with their own special tips and kit, and as usual we’ll be showing you how to do the same.

First up we’ll be at the beach, using mist filters to add mood to early morning scenes. For something closer to home, why not work with a Speedlite and focus on your furry friends in our pet portrait project? Later in the day, discover how to add romantic rings of flare to your portraits. Then, once the sun has truly set, there’s a project for turning passing cars into terrific traffic trails.

We haven’t neglected the editing tutorials this month: ’tis the sunny season, so learn to edit your daylit portraits with ease; remove unwanted people from friends and family groups; plus, use Lightroom to merge shots for stunning panoramas. Get out (or stay in) and work that light!
