WE’VE LOVED making the most of the summer sun and getting out and about with our Canon DSLRs (and mirrorless cameras to shoot our photo projects for you this month. On page 46 James shows you how to inject incredible colours into your portraits with a two light setup and some affordable flash gels. While I ventured to some of my favourite local landscape spots for this month’s project all about aperture and depth of field (page 50). Editor Peter got his hands on Canon’s brand-new EL-1 Speedlite to shoot some fast flash pet portraits, see his results on page 54. Our new Lightroom series continues, and this month Louise shows you how to tackle tricky blown out skies with ease on page 58. You can also find out how to turn photos into fantastic sketches in Photoshop CC on page 60, and how to cut out subjects and place them on a new background in Affinity on page 62.
