Nigel’s Top Tips

• Hiring can be a cost-effective way to access expensive equipment or just try something different.

• Talk to fellow photographers at events, they often have a wealth of knowledge to share and you’ll make some great friends along the way too.

• Practice makes perfect. Techniques like panning take time to master.
