Top 9

TOP 9 THINGS TO DO THIS SPRING

At Jessops, we’re always looking for new ways to have fun with photography, from learning new techniques to trying out a new lens or accessory – here’s our must-do’s for the season

1 GET NEW GEAR There’s nothing more exciting than the feeling of opening the box to a new camera or lens, and this spring you’re spoilt for choice at Jessops. Pop in-store, or go to Jessops.com to find your next piece of kit.

FOCUS ON FLORALS

Don’t let spring pass you by without making some time for flower shots. From bluebells to daffodils and crocuses, there is so much colour to fill your frame. For top tips, head to page 46.

GO ON AN ADVENTURE

If you’re off on holiday this year, a small-size camera like a compact or mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is a great option for adventures, and picture taking on-the-go. Turn to page 30 to discover what’s perfect for you.

2 LEARN SOMETHING NEW From exotic macro, to motor sport, landscapes and birds of prey – there’s something for everyone at the Jessops Academy, which has just won Best Training Provider in the Photography News Awards 2015!

JOIN A CLUB

Joining a club is a great way to further enjoy your photography by sharing ideas and shots with like-minded photographers. See if there’s a camera club near you, or consider joining a high-profile organisation like the Association of Photographers or the Royal Photographic Society. See page 27 and page 61 for info.

BUY A NEW ACCESSORY

A simple accessory can make the world of difference to the way you take photos: from a wide-aperture prime lens to transform your portraits, to a tough new bag to carry your gear safely. Tripods are great for stability when shooting long exposures too, turn to page 88 for top tips, or page 78 for our pick of accessories.

SET UP A STUDIO

You don’t need to have a dedicated room, or tons of space to take studio-style shots. At Jessops, we’ve got a range of kit to suit all levels and budgets, so anyone can create a mini studio in their own home. On page 86 you’ll find a selection of our favourite gear to get you started.

SPRING-CLEAN YOUR KIT

Get your gear in tip-top condition with a cleaning kit. Use pens and air blowers for sensors, and cloths for sparkling glass. See the full range of cleaning kits online, or pop in-store for a professional sensor clean. Turn to page 17 for details.

Technique

MASTER MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY Brighter days and colourful nature is what spring is all about and with that in mind it’s the perfect time to look for macro subjects to photograph. Here are some tips to help you get started

1. CHOOSE YOUR SUBJECT The idea of macro photography is to be able to capture small objects and detail that we can’t normally see. Insects and flowers are perfect examples of this. With macro we can see the tiny hairs on a fly’s legs, the intricate patterns of a butterfly’s wings or the delicate texture and shape of a flower’s petals. Look for flowers in your garden or buy a colourful bunch from a shop. You’ll need to wait patiently to capture shots of minibeasts as they explore the world. If you’re ready to get started, switch your compact camera to macro mode or check out macro lenses suitable for your interchangeable lens camera at jessops.com.

Technique

4. THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX Feel like there’s something missing from your shot and you need a little boost? Use a spray bottle to add a mist of water to subjects such as flowers or fruit to create a dewdrop effect, really bringing them to life. Not only will water give a more natural feel to your image, but it will also reflect light, casting glistening droplets across your subject.

2. WORK THE BACKGROUND When shooting subjects outdoors you may find that the background of your image appears cluttered with distracting elements or foliage. To create a clean background use the widest aperture available on your lens, which will create a shallow depthof-field meaning your background will become blurred. This will make your focal point and object really stand out. Another option is to use a piece of coloured card, place it behind your subject and the messy background is gone. When choosing a colour consider colours that compliment your subject.

3. COMPOSITIONAL CHOICE While macro photography is all about getting up close and personal to capture the detail, you have to decide just how close you want to get. If you want to include some of the background in your image consider the rule of thirds and compose your image so that the subject sits in one third of the image. Alternatively if you want to go for a more abstract image, fill the entire frame with your subject and get extremely close. Focus on details such as colour, texture and shape to create a really eye-catching image.

5. LIGHT IT Now that winter is gone you’ll want to make the most of being outdoors and natural light is perfect for macro subjects. If you feel you need a kick of light, then you can always add a burst of light using your flash. If the clouds start to turn grey and you have to head indoors, don’t worry you can choose another subject from around your house, like food, small toys or jewellery. An ordinary desk lamp should be enough to light a small subject, but you may also want to consider using a tripod so you can use slower shutter speeds, to allow more light to reach your sensor.

PICTURE PERFECT

Want to try your hand at portrait photography? Now’s the time to get outside and make the most of the improved weather. Follow these tips and you’ll produce glowing shots every time! 1. LIGHT IT RIGHT Soft light works wonders for portrait photography as it helps to avoid harsh shadows on your subject’s face and will leave their skin looking smooth and vibrant. Golden hour, which is the time just after sunrise and just before sunset, is the best time to capture flattering portraits. Position your subject so that the sun is behind them to create a stunning glowing effect. If shooting at different times of the day, you can use a reflector to fill in any unwanted shadows that appear on your model.

2. SHOOT WIDE OPEN

Choice of location is another important factor when shooting portraits. You need somewhere that will compliment your subject’s style and personality. Shooting outdoors is great for natural-looking images and you can achieve soft blurred backgrounds by using a wide aperture. Prime lenses are especially favoured for portrait photography and boast wide apertures of between f/1.4 and f/2.8.

3. GO NATURAL Take a candid approach to your spring portraits to capture natural moments with your subjects. Sometimes the pressure of not having to look at the camera can make your subject feel more relaxed and provide the opportunity for some really special images, especially if photographing children.

4. COMPOSITION IS KEY When framing your image be careful not to crop out your subject’s limbs. If shooting a full portrait make sure to include space around their head and feet; if shooting mid-way shots crop in the middle of limbs and not at the joints; and for headshots make sure to include your subject’s shoulders. If you’re going for full body shots, look to include enough space around your subjects so that the eye is carried softly around the frame, keeping the horizon level.

With spring in full bloom it’s time to brush off those winter blues and get outdoors to capture action. Whether wildlife is your thing, or you’re more at home at a home game, focusing on the footie, the powerful Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is ready to breathe new life into your shots this season. Boasting high-quality 20.2-megapixel resolution in a full-frame CMOS sensor, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is ready to capture all the action, and when we say all the action, we really mean it. With full AF/AE tracking at 14 frames-per-second, or up to 16fps in live view, you can fire away in continuous burst mode and freeze movement, so whether it’s the tense time as a penalty is taken or the dramatic moment a kingfisher dives for food, you can be ready to catch the shot everyone is waiting for. The new fast, intelligent AF system comprises 61 focus points, which further helps you bag those blink-or-you’ll-miss-it shots. And with enhanced flexibility when framing shots, you can be sure your subject is pin-sharp no matter where it appears in the frame, or how fast it’s going. With an advanced processor compared with its predecessor – the EOS-1D X – the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II has a Dual DIGIC 6+ processor, offering improved noise reduction across the ISO range, which reaches heights of 51,200 and 40,9600. So if wildlife keeps

you waiting as the sun starts dipping, it’s no problem, as shooting in low light is a breeze with the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II. Action doesn’t wait for perfect conditions, but you can rest easy knowing that the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II has a dust and splash proof body, allowing you to shoot in all environments. If you want to enjoy the scene in motion, the 4K video function allows you to capture outstanding video quality and record slow-motion footage to really heighten the excitement. A touch panel LCD and Dual Pixel CMOS AF provide outstanding autofocus tracking when filming too, so you can focus easily and accurately. With an increased number of pixels compared with the Canon EOS-1D X, you can crop images while still retaining an exceptional level of quality for professional printing. So if you’ve got a better crop in mind, or want to supersize your prints there’s no need to worry. Professional photographers who own at least two qualifying Canon bodies and three qualifying Canon lenses should consider signing up to the Canon Professional Services. This generous free service aims to help pro photographers using Canon equipment with a range of benefits such as a priority repair service and free backup equipment loans during repairs, depending on your level of membership.

WHAT FEATURES SHOULD I LOOK OUT FOR?

IMAGE QUALITY

LOW-LIGHT SHOOTING

CONNECTIVITY

When it comes to image quality you need to consider the sensor size of the camera and the number of megapixels. A larger sensor will let in more light and capture more detail, while more megapixels means you can print images bigger.

If shooting fast-moving subjects or shooting in low light, you will need to consider the camera’s ISO range. A high ISO will allow you to capture more detail, but can result in noisy images. Consider a tripod to allow you to use lower ISOs.

Most ILCs feature Wi-Fi or NFC (Near Field Comminication) connectivity, which allows you to control your camera from you mobile phone or tablet, and share your images as you take them, great for putting them online or emailing them.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

BATTERY LIFE

AND, ACTION

It’s not only the lens that can be customised on an interchangeable lens camera; the hotshoe can be too. You can add anything from an external flashgun or microphone to remote triggers, just make sure you check compatibility.

If you’re going to be shooting for long periods of time, you’ll need to consider battery life. Spare batteries are available or buy a battery grip that allows you to attach more than one battery to your camera, so there’s less worry!

Most interchangeable lens cameras offer video functions and many feature inbuilt microphones that offer good quality sound recording. Video quality is also improving amongst ILCs with some models offering 4K quality.

Advertorial

THE RPS: OPEN TO ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS

Over the past few years the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) has reinvented itself. The world’s oldest society in continuous existence, its heritage and royal patronage remains important, but the society is now more relevant to its members and the public than ever before, embracing digital and even smartphone cameras, without forgetting the traditional darkroom. WHAT IS THE RPS? The RPS is both a membership organisation and a charity and exists to promote and support photographers looking to improve their skills. The RPS also acts as an advocate with government and the media and has taken an active stand – with others – on areas such as copyright, the right of everyone with a camera to photograph unhindered and to ensure that photographers can enjoy their hobby or profession. RPS members include familiar names such as Annie Leibovitz, David Bailey, Gered Mankowitz and Steve McCurry, to landscape photographer Joe Cornish and artists such

as Simon Roberts and Tim Rudman. The majority are people simply interested in taking better photographs – both amateur and professional – plus those using images such as picture editors, curators and teachers of photography. The Society is different to your local camera club with less emphasis on print competitions and more on improving skills and education. However it also offers members opportunities to enter monthly and annual competitions, with exhibitions travelling to venues across the UK and abroad. Across the UK, its regions and special interest groups – which cover everything from contemporary, to landscape and digital photography – hold over 500 events each year. The society runs workshops and courses at its headquarters in Bath and elsewhere from beginner to advanced subjects, and offers bursaries for those looking to undertake photography projects. For many, the society’s awarding-winning and image-led monthly Journal is worth the annual membership fee alone.

MEMBERSHIP Membership is open to anyone, but one of the main reasons to join and stay with the society is its distinctions, which provide an alternative to an academic qualification, recognising a photographer’s skill and creativity from the Licentiate up to the internationally respected Fellowship. The RPS supports those working towards a distinction with advisory days and shows examples of successful portfolios on its website and in each issue of the Journal. SIGN UP Join the RPS with a special 20% discount for the first year. Simply go to www.rps.org/jessops to take the discount code and sign up. The Society looks forward to welcoming you.

With a distinguished history dating back to 1853, the Royal Photographic Society champions digital and all genres of photography and is well placed to be supporting photographers for the next 160 years

Focus quickly and precisely with the 61-point AF system and never miss a moment with advanced subject tracking and 5fps shooting in burst mode. Rest assured as you fire the shutter that you’ve got enough memory with dual memory card slots, allowing you to insert two cards into the camera.

HIGH-FLYER

SUITABLE FOR ALL LEVELS: ✓ Beginners ✓ Amateurs ✓ Advanced

Spring is the ideal time to grab your camera and rediscover nature. Our Birds of Prey Experience Day gives an exclusive opportunity to capture stunning images of some beautiful birds, we caught up with Academy Trainer Phil Gould to find out more Tell us about the Birds of Prey Jessops Academy Experience. How many locations is this course available at? The course currently runs from two venues in the UK. Our Bird of Prey Centre, which has been specially built for photography and is not open to the public, is in the beautiful countryside of Shropshire. Our other experience takes place at Loch Lomond, in southern Scotland, giving easy access from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Across the Jessops Academy we’re always looking to make courses accessible to all.

What sort of access do attendees get, what can they expect on the day of the course?

We work with the professional falconers at each venue to offer a really intimate experience, in a very relaxed setting, which means attendees will always come away with great shots. At our Shropshire location we’ve even secured exclusive access to this private collection, which means that we’re able to offer photographers unrivalled picture-taking access.

How long does the course last, and what does it include?

Each course is a full day, usually starting around 10 in the morning and finishing around 4. Tea and coffee is provided with light refreshments, and candidates are asked to bring a packed lunch with them.

What sorts of birds of prey will delegates get to photograph, and how close will they be able to get?

Each centre has a different range of birds from all over the world to photograph. One of the unique opportunities with this Academy course is just how close to the birds you can actually get; a standard telephoto zoom is all that’s required for some stunning shots. However delegates are welcome to bring other kit as they wish.

What sort of prior knowledge and skills should photographers come armed with?

DELEGATES WILL EXPAND THEIR KNOWLEDGE IN: 3 Aperture-priority 3 ISO control 3 Shutter-priority 3 Single autofocus and continuous autofocus 3 Continuous shooting 3 Metering 3 Lenses 3 Composition and cropping 3 Animal behaviour

Ideally, most photographers will have attended a Level 1 Photography Course with Jessops already and so arrive with a good knowledge of their camera. Other photographers should at least understand basic settings including exposure, aperture, shutter and ISO on their cameras.

What would be the best kit to bring to the day, is there a minimum requirement?

As long as you have a good zoom on your camera you’ll be fine, but ideally a bridge camera or interchangeable lens camera with a telephoto lens. We will usually be able to get attendees close enough to the action to get amazing photos, and memories that will stay with them forever.

SUITABLE FOR YOU IF YOU: n Have a basic knowledge of aperture control n Know how to adjust ISO nU nderstand how to adjust shutter speeds n Understand focus and lens control

How many people will be on the course, and what sort of tuition will they receive?

Normally we try and keep numbers down to around eight so that each candidate gets plenty of help from our tutor, and everyone has the chance to ask questions. I’ve drawn upon more than 30 years experience when designing these courses to make sure everyone gets the best out of the day. The falconers are, of course, also experts in their field with more than 60 years of knowledge and experience giving you the perfect combination of tuition for an amazing day.

Will the birds look captive, or will they appear to be in the wild in the photographs?

One of the unique aspects of this course is that it is designed for photographers. Each bird is situated to create stunning images and where possible, the leads that secure the birds will be hidden so that the

Ways to buy:

animals look extremely natural. The owners of each centre are very sympathetic to the photographer’s requirements and work with us to achieve these goals.

Can you give the birds of prey course as a gift to someone else?

Absolutely, you can purchase this course – and any of the others – as a gift option from Jessops in the form of a voucher, which is valid for 12 months and can be redeemed online. Many of our attendees have been bought the Experience Day as a gift, and have told us it was the perfect gift. We look forward to seeing you on the course!

VIDEO CAMERAS PUT YOURSELF IN THE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR AND CREATE YOUR OWN MOVIES WITH PORTABLE VIDEO CAMERAS THAT BOAST HIGH-QUALITY SHOOTING

Camcorders and action cams are great for people who want to: ✓ Capture movies rather than photos ✓ Rewatch memories and events ✓ Shoot point-of-view footage

Featured product: SONY FDR AX100E 4K £1349 5271957 Visit jessops.com for more details.

READY TO GO Camcorders have a fixed lens so there’s no need to worry about carrying extra lenses. Most offer wide-angle views with a good optical zoom range to allow you to get close and capture the action.

SOUND CAPTURE

It’s not just about the moving picture, sound is key to any movie. With high-quality, builtin microphones you can capture sound while you film. If you want to record action that’s further away, you may need to invest in an external mic for more professional results.

MAKE MORE MEMORIES With many camcorders featuring built-in memory you can get rolling straight away. Those who want to shoot a number of videos and for longer periods will need to invest in an extra memory card or two. Look out for cards with fast read/write speeds.

WHAT FEATURES SHOULD I LOOK OUT FOR?

VIDEO QUALITY

GO SLOW-MO

CAPTURE STILLS

Many video cameras now offer 4K shooting, which is four times the definition of HD footage at 1080p. Look out for 4K capability in your camcorder if you want to capture professional-quality movies.

Check the frame rate of your video camera to see what footage can be achieved. 14/15fps is what the eye is used to viewing, but higher frame rates allow you create slow-motion effects. Some models offer up to 120fps.

While you will be mainly focusing on video, some camcorders offer stills capture too. Some models feature a specific stills mode, while others will allow you to grab stills from your recorded footage.

Drones

TAKE TO THE SKY

Owning and flying a drone has never been easier or more affordable, and the image quality you can achieve even with entry-level models is fantastic. Pro Moviemaker editor Terry Hope looks at what it takes to get involved

There’s a huge buzz about the whole drone sector right now and it’s easy to see why. They’ve been steadily coming down in price at the same time as their feature sets have been improving beyond recognition, while they’re now easier to fly than they’ve ever been. What’s not to like? Suddenly all of us have the chance to get involved and to start producing exciting aerial stills and video footage that would have been beyond the wildest dreams of hobbyists even just a couple of years ago. It is important, however, to take the time to be a responsible drone pilot, and to follow the guidelines to make sure that you not only get the most out of what can be a thrilling flying experience but also fly safely and within the law. That’s not remotely to be a killjoy: some of the things you need to do – or not do – are just plain common sense (pardon the pun), such as not flying near an airport, over your neighbours’ gardens without their

permission or close to crowds, busy roads or overhead power lines, for example. But you should also read up on the wider recommendations for safe flying, and take the time to read the instructions carefully so that when you take off for the first time you know what you’re doing and can cope with any problems that might arise. It’s well worth the extra time, because as you grow in confidence you’ll be amazed at the viewpoints your drone will make possible, and the things it will allow you to do. The Phantom 3 series from DJI, for example, starts at just £450 from Jessops for the Standard model, and for this you get a craft that’s easy to fly, can maintain a hovering position without you needing to touch the controls and will even return to home should you have an emergency or even just run too low on battery power. You’ll also be able to see live footage from your drone as it flies above your head, so you’ll be able to achieve exactly the

viewpoint you want from your position on the ground. The latest release from DJI is the Phantom 3 4K drone. Costing just £699 it comes – as the name suggests – with a 4K/12-megapixel camera that will deliver exceptional quality images and footage. The top-of-the-range Phantom 3 model is priced at £949 and also carries a 4K/12-megapixel camera, and it’s even easier to fly, with Lightbridge image transmission technology so that you can see your live footage in HD. All Phantom 3 prices have dropped considerably recently and so they represent incredible value for money. Have a chat to a Jessops specialist by popping in-store to get the full rundown on the line-up of drones that are kept in stock and go online to inspire yourself with some of the incredible aerial images and footage that can be found there. You too could be joining this exclusive club, so take a closer look and come and see what it’s all about!

FASTER, LONGER, LIGHTER, BETTER

Featured product: OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO 300MM F/4 PRO LENS £2100 5281133

With stock now available, the Olympus M.ZUIKO 300mm f/4 PRO lens has been long awaited by photographers the world over. Pro shooter Warren Fleming put this fast glass to the test in South Africa Behold the new 300mm f/4 lens from Olympus which packs an incredible 600mm equivalent focal length into an impressively compact metal body – one of the most compact in its class in fact – making it a versatile and portable option for amateurs and pros alike, who are looking for further reach in their shots. With a fast f/4 constant aperture, shots are guaranteed to be bright and sharp – giving you full creative control. Boasting the world’s first* 5‑Axis Sync IS mechanism, the 300mm is the perfect partner to the OM‑D E‑M1 or E‑M5 Mark II to realise an enhanced compensation of 6EV stops. Read on for Warren Fleming’s first impressions. FOCUS SPEED Overall I was genuinely impressed with the speed. The lens was very fast in pulling focus with variances from close-up to far-away subjects. The speeds at which the motors managed to alter the distance from infinity to close-up and vice versa was very impressive. I found if the correct focus selection points are used, nine out of ten images are sharp and accurate on the point at which the focus was set to. SHARPNESS I felt the image sharpness from the Raw files I have looked at in Adobe Camera Raw is extremely good. Closer subjects are obviously more detailed and using the various focus limiters does make a huge difference. Overall the lens is very sharp and the optics are every bit as capable in terms of clarity as the renowned wildlife lenses from Canon and Nikon. We compared its performance with that of a Canon 300mm f/2.8 on a Canon EOS 7D Mark II body. With all sharpness settings turned off and the images viewed on screen zoomed in at 100%, they were mostly identical in terms of clarity of pixels.

Visit jessops.com for more details.

BOKEH An industry complaint that I hear all the time is that smaller sensors will always give less creamy bokeh than a full-frame system. However shooting at an effective range of 600mm or 840mm with the 1.4x converter this factor can be argued. The bokeh that occurs when shooting a subject that is relatively close is soft, creamy and very smooth. There is very little to no distortion on the bokeh effect and the images have the feel of any professional image one will ogle over in a top-end wildlife coffee-table book. PERFORMANCE & HANDLING One of the main aspects of the Olympus systems that appeals to me is the build quality and weather-sealing capabilities. I’m not shy to test my equipment; if it’s made for it, I will push it to the extremes. While in the desert I had a serious amount of dust to contend with – I shot images in a dust storm where visibility was less than 1m and the lens remained in perfect condition. As for image stabilisation, I managed to get sharp images down to a 0.2sec handheld – which is just incredible. The ability to shoot at lower ISO ratings and still get the exposures that you would at nearly twice the ISO is a certified bonus.

KEY LENS SPEC: n World’s first* 5‑Axis Sync IS n Extremely fast AF n Exceptional image reproduction n Ideal for handheld close-ups n 1270g without tripod adapter n 1/4 the weight of DSLR rivals n Dust, freeze and splash proof n Barrel-mounted one-finger photo clutch for AF/preset focus switching *As of December 2015.

STUDIO SAVVY

WE CAN’T ALWAYS RELY ON THE BRITISH WEATHER, SO A STUDIO SET-UP IS A MUST-HAVE FOR ANYONE WANTING TO SNAP PROFESSIONAL PICTURES ALL YEAR ROUND. READ ON FOR OUR PRODUCT PICKS TO GET YOU STARTED

For those lucky enough to have one, a studio space is truly a photographer’s happy place. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to have one, and just a few items will get you well on your way to great pictures. Every studio needs lights, and the Bowens Gemini 400RX Twin Head Umbrella Kit is great for both beginners and professional photographers. Get everything you need including two lights, wide-angle reflectors with umbrella mounts, two silver/ white umbrellas, light stands and a radio trigger. It all comes in a handy carry case so you can take your studio with you. A great way to get more from your lights is with reflectors. We’ve got plenty to choose from at Jessops, and the Bowens Basic Reflector Kit is a great option, including a reflector, snoot and four-leaf barn door so you can get even more creative with your shots and create dynamic lighting effects. Once you’ve got to grips with a basic lighting set-up, you can start to get more creative by adding other studio accessories. Take control over your lighting with an umbrella, and choose to diffuse or reflect your light source for different effects with the two-in-one Westcott 43" Umbrella. For even softer results, diffuse the light even more with the Lastolite Ezybox II Square Medium which makes natural, professional portraits a doddle.

Want more than just a plain coloured background? With the Lastolite pop-up backgrounds you can bring the outdoors in; choose from the extensive range of urban and out-of-focus backgrounds. As each background is double-sided, you have two looks in one, while the ability to fold them down makes them super portable. These crease-resistant backgrounds can be used on location or in the studio. With a stronger and more stable structure than basic reflectors, the Lastolite TriGrip has a moulded handle with strap for easy grip and use. It’s available in three different colours, so you can choose between combinations of gold, silver and white. Of the three surfaces, the silver side reflects the most light and is great for low-light conditions or when you need a strong fill light. If you want to add a warmer appearance to your images, use the gold side, and for softer effects use the white side. Whether you own a studio space or need a portable kit option, the Interfit background support is ideal and can be packed away and taken everywhere. With a maximum height of 2.4m and a maximum width of 2.5m, you can shoot single portraits or group shots and easily squeeze more people in the frame. As it can support both textile and paper roll backgrounds, you can switch between different backdrops for different occasions.

All these products and more are available at Jessops. For the full range of studio kit, ask in-store or visit jessops.com.

Technique

CREATIVE LANDSCAPES

Want to get more from your landscape images? Follow our tips and you can transform the way you photograph the land and sea by incorporating natural movement into your shots

1. STEADY AS YOU GO When shooting landscape images one of the key things to consider is that your horizon line is straight and your camera steady, to avoid any unwanted movement. A tripod is the solution, allowing you to secure your camera in place. Some tripods feature a spirit level so you can check that your camera isn’t wonky.

2. SLOW THINGS DOWN

Adding a sense of movement to your landscape shots can really bring them to life. While fast shutter speeds freeze movement, slow shutter speeds allow you to capture blurred movement in things such as water and trees; a tripod will help to keep static subjects sharp. Shooting in shutter-priority allows you to select a shutter speed of your choice, while the camera automatically selects other settings to achieve the best exposure possible.

3. ADD A FILTER To achieve dramatic results such as milky water or clouds scooting across the sky, you’ll need to use a super-slow shutter speed. With the help of neutral density (ND) filters or ND graduated filters, you can block out light and produce a well-exposed image while using slower shutter speeds than normal.

4. GET CREATIVE If you want to get even more from your landscape images, filters can help you achieve variety of results. Circular polarisers, for example, saturate colours and reduce reflections in your images, while coloured gels add a kick of colour to your scene; red and orange filters warm up your images, while blue shades introduce cooler tones. There are also UV filters, which reduce the blue haze produced on sunny days.

WEEE policy The UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations aim to reduce the environmental impact from electrical waste by reducing the amount of unsorted waste as this goes to landfill sites and incinerators. The ‘wheelie bin’ symbol on new electrical products is there to remind people not to dispose of WEEE to unsorted waste. Please help us to minimise the effect we have on the environment by recycling your waste electrical goods. Instead of throwing your WEEE in the bin (unsorted waste) find your nearest recycling points and helpful recycling tips by visiting www.recycle-more.co.uk. Recycle your batteries Batteries contain heavy metals and other dangerous chemicals, they should not just be thrown away as this will cause pollution. You can now bring your waste portable batteries to your local Jessops store to be recycled. Just put them in our collection box in-store and we will ensure that they are recycled in a responsible manner. (Excludes industrial and automotive batteries).
