CANON UPDAT ES THREE-LOADER As Canon celebrates three decades of the EOS system, it’s taken the opportunity to introduce a trio of additional EOS cameras: two APS-C DSLRs and new CSC FIRST LOOK F IRST on the list of Canon’s latest EOS launches (see opposite page also) is the 77D. Positioned between the new 800D and the 80D, it’s pitched as a camera that’s “ideal if you’re looking to upgrade your kit and re?ne your skills?? Canon’s DSLR line-up isn’t exactly short of upgrade options: there are already six APS-C DSLRs in the current EOS range before you factor in the two new cameras? Muddying the waters further, both the 77D and the older (and more expensive) 80D share a similar feature set? ?oth use the same ????-megapixel CMOS sensor,…

PROJECT 1 Collaborate When cities meet What happens when you take a photographer from New York and a photographer from Paris? This! C ARLA de la Matta from New York and Loïc Remy from Paris have a unique photographic relationship. They combine images of the iconic cities they occupy to create dream-like results. This image, taken from their project Phantasma, combines an image taken by Loïc in 2015 of the Pacific Tower in La Defense, Paris, and the International Hotel and Trump Tower in New York City, taken by Carla in 2016. Loïc and Carla have a clear understanding of what they are both trying to achieve and respect for each other’s creative process. “The main challenges we have encountered are to make our visions converge and to find the time…

NEW MONTHLY PHOTO PROJECT! Miniature effect IF you have a young child, you will find this project easy to complete in record-breaking time! Grab a toy car and head out into the garden or a park. Find a small mound of earth to place the toy on. Try to include some background interest, as we have done with the trees in the background here. As you’re shooting close-up, you don’t need to worry about making the aperture too wide – around f/5 will do. Make sure the toy is the main focal point, and shoot! There you have it: a miniature car effect that looks almost life-sized. Rain drops ON a rainy day, instead of feeling fed up and trapped indoors, use the rain to your advantage. You don’t need…

SHOOT BETTER PORTRAITS Read our cover story on page 43 I T MAY seem daunting to think about shooting with anything other than natural light, but there is no need to fear flash! To set up this atmospheric portrait, we put our camera into its Manual mode and set the shutter speed to 1/250 sec. The biggest consideration to take into account when using flashgun is your shutter speed setting. Most flashguns will only sync with a shutter speed of 1/250 sec or slower. Some have faster sync speeds depending on the make, but this is a good rule of thumb to go by. It’s far easier to put your camera into the Manual mode so you can control each setting manually. The final consideration to take into account is where…

£1,399/$1,599 It’s been another strong year for new camera releases, with compelling contenders for our most coveted award coming from Canon, Nikon and Olympus. But ultimately it’s the X-T2 that wins out, thanks to its unbeatable blend of convenient dimensions, excellent ergonomics and stellar performance. Fuji?lm’s 24.3MP X-Trans III APS-C sensor provides a noticeable jump in detail compared with the already impressive 16.3MP X-T1. The new sensor delivers terri?c image quality up to ISO 1,600 and acceptable results as high as ISO 25,600. But it’s the X-T2’s muchimproved autofocus system performance that makes it the most complete all-round camera available today. Where the X-T1 fell short when it came to motion tracking, Fuji?lm’s new hybrid AF system, consisting of 325 phase and contrast-detection points doesn’t just improve on its predecessor:…

£199/$270 It takes something special to stand out in the action camera market, and the Bandit delivers just such a killer blow to more established competition with its innovative shake, edit and share feature. There’s built-in GPS, too, enabling automatic location tagging of footage, while motion sensors assist automatic editing. TomTom hasn’t neglected the basics either, as the Bandit is capable of 1080p recording at 60fps and 4K at 15fps, and you’ll get an impressive three hours recording from the battery. WINNING FEATURES Innovativeshake-to-edit video feature Polished smartphone app with slick live view feed Great video quality backed up by a long-lasting battery…

£629/$899 Sigma’s no-compromise Art-series lenses have scooped multiple awards from this magazine, and this ultra-wide addition with its mighty 94.5? viewing angle further cements the line-up’s reputation for excellence. Inside, it’s a largediameter 59mm double aspherical lens element that enables a short focal length with a wide aperture. Other glassy attractions include two ?uoritegrade FLD elements and a feast of ?ve SLD (Special Low Dispersion) elements. Together they deliver excellent sharpness and contrast across the aperture range, with minimal fringing and vignetting. Build quality is excellent, as you’d expect from a hefty 950g design. Weather sealing is sadly absent, but it’s more than compensated for by a large, smooth focus ring and a highly effective ultrasonic autofocus system. And when you need to go manual, there’s a smooth and precise…

£8.57/$9.99 per month Adobe caused a furore when it moved to a subscription system for its software – and it did initially look like a pretty pricey deal. But the price has dropped, the dust has settled and the world has carried on turning on its axis. If you take out an annual subscription today, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for a very reasonable outlay. And you do need both programs. Photoshop is sophisticated but focused. For layers, masks, selections, retouching and complex, multi-step imaging processes, it’s impossible to beat, and it manages to present these tools in a remarkably clean, fast and ef?cient interface. On the downside, it doesn’t offer a library of single-click creative effects or any way of organising a large and growing photo collection. But…

OPTIONS BAR The Focus slider lets you control how sharp the central preserved areas are when using the Tilt-Shift or Iris filters. Ticking High-Quality gives you a slightly better preview, but takes longer to load. Selection Bleed works when you apply a blur filter to an active selection. It takes the areas outside into account when creating the blur. Finally here, Save Mask To Channel creates an alpha channel of the blurred area. SPIN AND PATH Both these filters let you mimic motion-blur effects. Spin Blur lets you create circular blur as if an object is spinning, like a wheel. Path Blur lets you direct the blur along a straight or curved line by adjust the start, end and middle points. It can be set to Basic or Rear Sync…

W hen you shoot portraits, the sort of image you take – and the settings you need – will largely be down to lighting conditions; specifically whether you’re shooting indoors or outdoors, and with or without flash. Our easy-to-follow, step-by-step flowcharts in this guide cover all of these shooting situations. They all demand slightly different techniques, but there are a few key settings that can be applied on almost any portrait shoot. The first thing to bear in mind is that you should always try to focus on the eyes, as this is usually the most important part of any portrait. With this in mind, it’s usually a good idea to select the autofocus point nearest to your subject’s eye manually, rather than let your camera select an AF point…

THERE’S no doubt that dawn is the prime time to be out in the natural environment. Just as everything is starting to wake, there’s a real calmness that makes the world a pleasure to be a part of. When you shoot in the first light of the day, use the conditions to your advantage and capture warm, hazy scenes by setting yourself down low in the natural vegetation. Fields of long grasses, like the ones we captured in our example, are the perfect settin g for this type of effect. Although you might consider a lens flare to be a technical flaw, it can be used more creatively. By shooting directly into the sunlight, a yellow streak of light pours across the image and adds a atmospheric effect that alters…

Tom BLAEN-Y-GLYN is regarded as one of the best places to see waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons. We met up at the Upper Blaen-y-Glyn car park and headed downstream, working both individually and in a group. (Top tip: if you’re planning a shoot in this area, start at the Lower Blaen-y-Glyn car park – the walk back with heavy kit at the end of the day is much easier…) Tom managed to get his camera into some extreme positions, whether it was locking it on a tripod wedged between rocks in the streams, or by simply supporting his Nikon hand-held on the rocks themselves. With this shot, he was unhappy about the position of the distracting tree, but there was little that could be done, short of some heavy-duty cloning…

ONE of the world’s most revered nature and wildlife photographers, Frans Lanting has no formal training in this field. Like his equally famous contemporary, Sebastião Salgado, Lanting is an economist, having completed a master’s degree before moving to the United States to study environmental planning. But soon after completing his Atlantic crossing, Lanting began photographing the natural world in earnest, and he never turned back… When you were younger, what part did photography play in your life? I was surrounded by nature of a sort when I was growing up in a small town in The Netherlands. It wasn’t nature on a grandiose scale like you ?nd in the United States or elsewhere, of course, but I’ve always been drawn to the natural world. Picking up a camera was a…

ANNA Fox is a leading British documentary photographer who came to the forefront in the 1980s. In?uenced by ‘new colourist’ photographers including Paul Graham, Paul Reas and Martin Parr, Fox produces long-term projects on speci?c themes. Most of these projects use the documentary style to examine aspects of contemporary society, although some consist of staged or ‘constructed’ images. She shoots in colour, often uses ?ash and sometimes combines images and text. Born in Alton, Hampshire, in 1961, Fox completed a degree in Audio-Visual Studies at the Surrey Institute of Art ? Design in 1986. She was shortlisted for the Deutsche B?rse Photography Foundation Prize in 2010 for her series Cockroach Diary, which documented a cockroach infestation in a shared ?at. What was her first exhibition? Her Work Stations series was…

£579/$649 Tamron has been on somewhat of a roll recently with its redesigned SP-series lenses – and this 90mm macro is the best of the bunch. A stack of quality elements deliver image quality that’s nothing short of sublime, with stunning sharpness up to f/11, no distortion and barely any fringing. Usability is enhanced by a waterrepellent ?uorine coating and excellent Vibration Compensation. WINNING FEATURES Fast and accurate Ultrasonic Drive autofocus Class-leading image quality Enhanced bokeh results…

£3,449/$3,898 With the Leica Q challenging Sony’s original RX1R as the compact camera king, it was only a matter of time before Sony sought to retake the throne. And what a way to raise the bar: gone is the old 24MP sensor from the ?rst RX1R, replaced by a 42.4MP device pinched straight from the Alpha 7R II compact system camera. The sensor is joined by the world’s ?rst variable optical low-pass ?lter, which is activated depending on the subject you’re shooting. This way you get the maximum possible detail resolution with less risk of moiré patterning on ?ne textures. Other improvements over the RX1R include 30? faster AF speeds, the ability to record uncompressed 14-bit raw ?les, a clever electronic view?nder that retracts into the camera body, and a…

£115/$150 A shining example of great design, the X-Pro 3-Way head gives you three-way head precision in a form little larger than a regular ball head. Retractable handles are the key, letting the head pack down into a 13.5cm cube almost instantly. Manfrotto has still found space for some fun features, though, like adjustable friction resistance to balance cameras of varying weights. Well-positioned bubble quality ble levels and top build lity add even more appeal. WINNING FEATURES Offersthe benefits of three-way head precision, minus the usual size drawback Variable horizontal and vertical tilt friction lets you tune the head to suit your camera and lens set-up Ergonomically sound two-lever quick-release mount…

£1,729/$1,997 Aiming with the D500 to take on the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Nikon hasn’t just matched its rival: it’s produced a new benchmark in APS-C SLRs. The D500’s 20.9MP sensor has a colossal maximum sensitivity of ISO 1,640,000 and can capture 4K video. It’s paired with the D5’s Expeed 5 image processor, which is potent enough to enable a maximum shooting rate of 10fps ?les. The D5 also donates its superb 153-point autofocus system, which includes 99 cross-type points. fps for up to 200 14-bit raw A metal chassis and extensive weather sealing keep the D500 shooting in stay in control thanks to plenty of direct buttons and dials. All of this comes together to make the D500 an extremely versatile camera. In fact, for the money, this…

£1,599/$1,798 Sony’s new 85mm G Master delivers everything you could hope for in a portrait lens, and more besides. There’s smart glass like an XA (eXtreme Aspherical) element and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements. Sony claims the XA element features increased surface precision, which combined with the 11-blade diaphragm, produce sumptuously soft and dreamy bokeh in defocused areas. rounded diaphragm helps Sharpness across the entire frame is very good at f/1.4 – and stunning at f/2.8 and beyond.

EXPERT TIP While my main image was shot in a studio using one light and a beauty dish with a grid, you can create this look at home using no more than a darkened room with a pair of curtains. Open the curtains just enough to let a sliver of light hit your subject’s face. Make sure all other light in the room is off or blocked. Have the subject face directly into the light first, then take a step towards you (sideways for them) – just enough to get a shadow on the cheek. See? Much easier than you’d expect. You can see here how I’ve done it with my son. The inset shows the shot with the flash turned off.…

EXPERT TIP The blur effect we’ll add makes it look as if everything is in miniature; this works best on a wide scene shot from above. Make a duplicate of the background layer [1] with Ctrl/Cmd+J. Right-click it and choose Convert To Smart Object, then go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift. In the dialog, position the sharp area [2] over the ground, then drag the lines to fine-tune the blur transition area above and below [3] and the blurred areas [4]. Use the pin to adjust the blur strength. Next, boost the tones. Add a Levels Layer [5] (Layer > New Adjustment Layer) but don’t change any settings. Instead change the Blend Mode [6] to Overlay to punch up the saturation and contrast. If it’s too strong, use…

NEW MONTHLY PHOTO PROJECT! B LUE-TONING comes from the days of analogue film, when you could add a blue tone or a sepia effect to alter the style of your black-and-white image. The process involved a chemical solution in which the print would be submerged, and altered the blacks into blue or brown. These days the same can be done in Photoshop with a few simple steps! As our starting image we have a simple still-life of a hedgerow plant against a white backdrop. (This is on the disc if you’d like to use it to follow the steps.) Start by turning the white into a more dirty yellow colour, which gives the image a more authentic look. It’s these little touches when making edits like this that really help give…

KITE TAKE OFF Wide horizons Bird portraits are usually shot with a telephoto lens, but the wide-angled composition here makes the shot dynamic and unusual. The 24mm focal length was carefully chosen. “I felt any wider would render any birds tiny in the frame,” says Jamie. Stopping time By choosing a shutter speed of 1/6,400 sec, Jamie effectively froze the red kite’s movement. “I set ISO 2,000 which gave me a shutter speed of 1/6,400 at f/6.3,” he says. “I felt I had enough depth of field and a fast enough shutter speed to freeze any action.” Careful planning Jamie’s careful planning and patience are what generated this frame-filling and pin-sharp capture. He placed a small worm about 12 inches in front of the camera and pre-focussed on this spot.…

Tom TOM showed a methodical approach to capturing creative shots like the one he’s presented here. His remote release was always to hand and, once his camera was in the right position, he took the necessary steps to get sharp results – hands free of the camera, with the mirror locked up – and carefully analysing the image on the back of the camera each time. Getting sharp shots can be challenging in these situations: slimy rocks and mud don’t make for the surest footings for a tripod. Motion-blur studies like this work well when there are some stationary details to add contrast; the sharper these are, the more pronounced the effect. Tom’s choice of standard zoom was a good one, as it gave him plenty of framing flexibility without…

There’s something enticing about rundown buildings and abandoned spaces that simply begs them to be photographed! This challenge requires some forward planning and scouting in order to get the best results possible. Although it’s tempting to follow in the footsteps of others and capture what’s already been found, imagine the reward in ?nding your own abandoned space! It could be as simple as heading to the ‘never used’ shed and documenting the deterioration of time. For this challenge a wide-angle lens could come in handy; a tripod is also a must due to the low-light conditions of most of these spaces. We’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

£6,199/$6,499 Medium-format cameras have traditionally been bulky, slow, and eyewateringly expensive, but the GFX 50S is a true game-changer for the sector. It commands a price tag that rivals a ?agship 35mm DSLR, while 148 x 94 x 91mm dimensions and a body & battery weight of just 825g are more comparable to the specs of a Canon 5DS.

£439/$497 Not only has Nikon secured top honours at the pinnacle of its DX range, it’s got the winner at the entry level. The D3400 has much in common with the popular D3300, carrying over an excellent 24.2MP DX sensor that does without an optical low-pass ?lter in order to maximise image sharpness. 5fps burst shooting, Full HD video and an 11-point AF system aren’t features that’ll drop many jaws, but they’re good enough to satisfy beginners. Image quality will still please experienced photographers, as the D3400 generates beautiful results.
