Master shooting in darkness

The January 2013 issue is packed with 164 pages of technique, expert advice & inspiration to help you improve your photo skills, including mastering shooting after dark with features on night photography and painting with light. We also show you how to make the most of glorious winter coastal sunsets, creating abstract still life images from paper, capturing both day and night in a single image and how to shoot a simple but stunning low key portrait using natural light.

We also find out if the Lensbaby Spark and Pentax K-5 II are worth your hard-earned in Budget Photo and Camera Test.
