WELCOME TO THE APRIL 2016 issue of
Digital SLR Photography.
In the last couple of weeks we’ve had frosty mornings, warm days
and plenty of showers, which can only mean that spring is well and
truly here. It’s arguably the most popular of seasons for outdoor
photographers (although autumn pushes it close) as the
combination of changeable weather, great light, reasonable
golden-hour times, unpredictable weather and the natural world bursting into
life, all add up to incredible potential for great photographs. We kick off our new
Beginner’s Guide
series by providing a major guide covering the camera settings,
kit and techniques you need to make the most of this wonderful time of year.
We’ve several other features aimed at helping you improve your photo skills,
from subjects as diverse as motorsports to daylight portraits and still-lifes, so
there is plenty to test your technique this month. With an inspirational interview
with wildlife pro David Yarrow, kit reviews and various tutorials to enjoy, you’ve
a busy month’s shooting ahead. Finally, if you are heading to e Photography
Show at the Birmingham N.E.C. and see me on the aisles, please do come and say
‘hello’, as it’s always nice to meet our readers. All the best!
