Welcome...<br />
hello! Photography, as<br />
you’ll have heard a million<br />
times, is all about light. The<br />
best pros can enhance<br />
lighting conditions with their<br />
own special tips and kit, and<br />
as usual we’ll be showing<br />
you how to do the same.<br />
First up we’ll be at the<br />
beach, using mist filters to<br />
add mood to early morning<br />
scenes. For something<br />
closer to home, why not<br />
work with a Speedlite and<br />
focus on your furry friends<br />
in our pet portrait project?<br />
Later in the day, discover<br />
how to add romantic rings<br />
of flare to your portraits.<br />
Then, once the sun has truly<br />
set, there’s a project for<br />
turning passing cars into<br />
terrific traffic trails.<br />
We haven’t neglected the<br />
editing tutorials this month:<br />
’tis the sunny season, so<br />
learn to edit your daylit<br />
portraits with ease; remove<br />
unwanted people from<br />
friends and family groups;<br />
plus, use Lightroom to<br />
merge shots for stunning<br />
panoramas. Get out (or stay<br />
in) and work that light!<br />
