This month we have another amazing issue for you, featuring professional tips, reviews, and practical how-to guides. Here's a sneak peek of what's inside!
To kick off the issue, turn to p36 of the magazine to discover our main feature on beautiful bird photography. With help from three expert wildlife photographers, you’ll learn how to understand avian behaviour, getting insights into how best to position yourself for dramatic photos. You’ll also find out what’s in a pro shooter’s kitbag, how to set up your camera for action and how to introduce a little creativity to your portfolio, for images with a unique twist.
Wideangle lenses open up the world like no other type of optic. Their immense power to bring details into the frame means they can truly capture a scene as we see it with our own eyes. While this has great storytelling potential, it’s important to understand the challenges that come with an inclusive field of view. In our first feature, we speak to two pro landscape and architecture photographers to find out how they control distortion, compose correctly and find perfect subjects for wideangle treatment.

We chatted to him about how he works in this niche island market while also capturing celebrity images for major campaigns around the world.
