Welcome
Will shooting in manual make you a better photographer? No, but it will certainly give you W more autonomy when trying to realise your creative vision, and this is what we focus on in this month’s cover feature (p50). Get an idea of what’s possible, then try it out on the projects in this month’s Photo Active (p16). Also this month, Camera Clinic (p70) offers an expert overview of filters, you can saddle up for an equine portraiture masterclass (p8) and savour the winners of Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year (p42). This month’s kit reviews include the Leica SL3 (p102), DxO Nik Collection 7 (p116) and new lenses from Nikon, Panasonic and Sony. Enjoy the issue.
