In This Issue
- Find out if Fuji’s Super CCD SR Pro lives up to its claims in our big test.
- Working within the insanity and madness that is heavy metal music might not appeal to everyone, but for rock photographer John McMurtrie, it’s a dream come true and a world apart from his old job at Nikon UK! Daniel Lezano chats with one of music photography’s up and coming stars
- Nature is one of the most popular subjects to photograph and is also one of the most technically challenging. In this series, award-winning natural history photographer Ross Hoddinott exclusively shares his knowledge of photographing wildlife with Digital SLR Photography readers.

All that pales into insignificance when you start viewing the Earth from outer space and in particular when you view our Blue Planet from the surface of the moon.
