Welcome...

THEY say home is where the heart is, but it’s also where some great pictures can be taken too! This month we show you how to take boudoir portraits in your bedroom with just window lighting (page 46), as well as how to attract wildlife to your back garden for stunning bird close-ups (page 48). Of course, it’s no-good taking an amazing picture if you can’t print it with accurate colours, so we also look at how to calibrate your monitor (page 52). On top of all that, we have 15 textures you can download (for free) and add to your pictures in Photoshop and Elements, find out more on page 54. Now that we’re able to venture outside more, why not try something different the next time you shoot a sunrise or sunset? Find out how to shoot and edit together a striking time-slice image on page 56. Lastly, got a box of old photos in need of some TLC? Check out our Affinity Photo guide on page 58.
