A s we usher in a new season, it’s time to spring clean your kit and exercise those creative muscles. This month’s cover feature (p62) is a pick’n’mix of 22 projects spanning a variety of photographic genres from flowers and forests to wildlife and weather. More inspiration awaits in Photo Skills (p39), while Camera Clinic (p82) is a masterclass in getting colours right. Digital Camera Apprentice (p8) visits a bird reserve in the company of top wildlife pro Andy Rouse, and we get set for Earth Day on 22 April in this month’s interview (p118). Camera and lens reviews (p105) include new compacts from Sony and Leica plus optics by Nikon and Sigma. Enjoy the issue.
