In This Issue
- It’s fair to say that Pentax SLR fans haven’t had much to shout about in the digital age. OK, there’s been a few entry level models, but nothing to interest the serious user. That’s all changed with the introduction of the highly-specified K10D, which promises to take Pentax back into the enthusiast heartland. Daniel Lezano puts it to the test.
- He’s photographed the leading faces in the music industry for the past two decades and only this year became a fully-fledged member of the digital convert club. Daniel Lezano talks to Andy Earl about his move away from film and how it’s changed the way he works
- Merging bracketed exposures to produce an image with detail in the sky and foreground is a popular Photoshop technique. Luke Marsh explains how to do it in under five minutes.
- Many noted photographers believe that using just one light can strengthen the directional quality to give the lighting character. The use of one light can provide an unmistakable element, in other words ‘a real statement’ and one that can gain strength, usually through simplicity. Complicated multiple light set-ups can sometimes be just that, complicated!
- Turning the world into monochrome magic gives a timeless quality to your work and is as popular now as it always has been since the dawn of photography nearly 200 years ago. In fact, digital SLR photography has made black & white more popular than ever.
- With exposure modes and metering covered in our previous two issues, we now turn our attention to the autofocus systems used by digital SLRs. Follow our informative yet easy to read guide to autofocus and you’ll never take a poorly focused picture again.
- A look at what's new in the world of photography.
