Welcome
The new season has certainly put a spring in our step after a winter that seemed to go on and on. So whatever wonders of spring you like to shoot – scenics in fields or woodlands, birds feeding in your garden, flowers up-close with a macro lens, or some indoor still life with a creative twist – you’ll find examples of it all, and more, in our cover feature (page 50). Also this month, we present another appealing selection of Photo Active projects (p16) and inspiring images in Hotshots (p42), where we focus on International Garden Photographer of the Year. This month’s camera and accessory reviews include a pair of new mirrorless hybrids, the Panasonic Lumix S5 II (p96) and the Canon EOS R50 (p100). Also, and in perfect time for capturing epic spring views, five best-buy filter holders face off in our group test (p106). Enjoy the issue.
