In This Issue
- Pentax has replaced its K100D, launched a year ago, with the updated K100D Super, which offers a couple of new features, including dust removal. Daniel Lezano finds out if it’s worth spending £400 on this new six-megapixel DSLR.
- Brett Harkness is a man in demand. His energetic style and creative eye has seen him gain a lucrative foothold in the world of social & wedding photography. Now established as a brilliant and innovative photographer, Brett has expanded his business to offer training for aspiring professional portrait photographers. Matt Henry talks to one of the UK’s brightest talents.
- Everyone has one – a portrait that captures an expression or mood of the subject, yet lacks impact in composition and lighting. Photoshop expert Luke Marsh takes such a shot of his son Alfie, taken using diffused windowlight, and transforms it into a dramatic portrait with character
- Sometimes it’s good to be bad. At the Digital SLR Photography offices, for one day only, three members of the team have lost their ethics and become photo cheaters. Their aim? To use their DSLRs and imagination to create images that aren’t what they at first appear. Have a look at the three prints above and try and work out how they were taken, then turn the page to see how each was created. Who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to become a photo cheat yourself!
- Capturing stunning landscape images is high on the wish-list of most photographers, but as those who has ventured into the great outdoors will testify, producing an image that does justice to the glorious scene in front of you isn’t always easy. This month, Mark Bauer covers the basic technical ingredients, from depth-of-field to exposure, that you will need to understand and use to help make the perfect landscape.
- Every month we meet up with a Digital SLR Photography reader and give them just one hour to produce a series of stunning images. This month is all about birds of prey – Dennis Madge takes up the challenge.
- The majority of digital SLR owners will want to try their hand at wildlife photography at some point, but its reputation for specialist gear and remote locations can prove discouraging. In this month’s beginner’s guide, we show the would-be nature photographer that you don’t necessarily need to go on safari or buy long, pricey telephotos to capture great images. As well as provide an expert insight into UK wildlife, we offer simple ideas and practical techniques to help you shoot stunning wildlife images.
