MANUAL MODE Pierre likes to use Manual mode and set his aperture, but he needed some help understanding how to set the shutter speed for a good exposure, as he uses Auto ISO, which means his shots are often noisy, as his Canon 1300D tends to set a high ISO as the shutter speeds he sets are quite slow. “I set ISO100, aperture to f/8, and then increased the shutter speed until the exposure level indicator was central on the exposure index – indoors he needed a shutter speed of 8 secs,” explains David. WHITE BALANCE “I got Pierre to set his White Balance according to the lighting conditions,” says Davids. “The Cloudy preset was ideal, as it was very overcast when we were shooting outside. However, once inside the…

CAMERA Nikon D750 LENS 24-120mm f/4 EXPOSURE 1/5 sec, f/8, ISO100 It’s hard to think of anything more stunning than a misty morning. Get up early and stand upon higher ground, and you’ll see the landscape below transformed. Photographing these conditions can require a degree of luck – sometimes you’ll need to return to the same location over and over before you get just the right conditions. Keep an eye out for cold, clear nights following warm, wet days – especially in autumn – and you might find that your favourite locations are totally transformed at sunrise. A favourite misty scene of mine is Corfe Castle in Dorset in southern England. The ruins stand high above the mist, and you can also capture some beautiful rays of light as the…

Microphone maker Shure has announced its new MoveMic Microphone System, clip-on wireless mics designed for mobile content creators and video makers for connecting to Shure’s MOTIV and MOTIV Video apps on iOS and Android. If you want to link the mics to a camera you can also get the MoveMic Receiver Kit, which can be linked to cameras, computers, and recording software. The MoveMic One is for solo video creators who just need a simple solution for directly recording audio from one source. The MoveMic Two kit has two mics that can be connected to the same receiver, which is great for interviews or videos with more than one subject. Shure claims the MoveMic is “the smallest, best-sounding, dual-channel direct-to-phone wireless lavalier solution available”, and with Shure’s proprietary wireless software,…

1 LAP THE BUILDING Take a complete tour so you can spot everything from classic wide shots of the nave and chapels to long lens details. Make a mental list of each focal length and position, and get to work. 2 USE A TRIPOD IF POSSIBLE Always ask for permission to use a tripod inside cathedrals/churches. A tripod stabilises your camera to produce sharp, clear images at lower ISO, especially in low-light conditions. You’ll be surprised how many places will allow you to use one. 3 EMBRACE SYMMETRY Cathedrals are often incredibly precise in their design, and symmetry adds a powerful visual impact to your images. Align your camera with floor tiles and features to capture the architectural balance of the interior. 4 WIDE-ANGLE FOR GRANDEUR Utilise wide-angle lenses to…

Modern cameras can produce images of staggering clarity and pixel-perfect detail, but these defect-free digital depictions of scenes can sometimes feel a little cold. It’s no surprise, then, that many of us feel nostalgia for a time when photography was harder, and imperfections in photos were the norm. There’s a certain charm to old pictures that have been tainted by colour casts, light leaks, blurry edges and grainy details; what they lack in crispness, they make up for in fuzzy old-school feels. This perhaps goes some way to explaining the continuing popular trend for adding analogue effects to digital photos. It lends them some of that retro charm, and lets you create photos that evoke a feeling of time and place. In this issue’s video tutorial we’ll look at how…

PRO DAVID CLAPP CAMERA: CANON EOS R3 Landscape, travel and architectural photographer David, 52, is based in South Devon, but spends much of his time travelling the world. He runs seminars for Canon and his own photography workshops, and was the perfect pro to show Pierre how to capture Salisbury Cathedral’s historic architecture. To see more of David’s work, and for info on upcoming workshops, check out www.davidclapp.co.uk APPRENTICE PIERRE BURGER CAMERA: CANON EOS 1300D Pierre, 37, is originally from Namibia, and moved to Salisbury in 2016. Weather permitting, he likes to spend as much time as possible outdoors, and he takes his camera with him at every opportunity, because “there’s always something interesting to capture in beautiful Wiltshire”. Pierre wants some help to improve his architectural photography, so that…

1 CANON TILT-SHIFT LENS “My well-used Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II tilt-shift lens is an amazing optic,” reveals David. “With a large field of view, your camera can be set up level and square to buildings, and then the composition ‘shifted’ around in the viewfinder. This keeps those important verticals straight, just as the eye sees them, which is an essential look for professional architecture photography.” 2 CANON EXTENDER “This little EF Extender 1.4x III is my secret weapon! I use this teleconverter to multiply the focal length of my favourite lenses to make them even more versatile. My TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II becomes a 35mm, and my EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM telephoto zoom becomes a 560mm at the long end!” says David. “I simply use the EF-EOS…

www.canon.co.uk £2,300/$1,899 Every so often, a new superzoom telephoto lens grabs our attention. Mostly, it’s third-party lens-makers like Sigma and Tamron battling over stratospheric focal lengths or huge apertures, and Canon, it seemed, was content to focus on sensible quality and let other companies make the headlines. But the Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM is a serious challenger to the superzoom throne. The RF 200-800mm offers a record 600mm difference in focal length from wide to tele, for full-frame cameras anyway, and achieves this in a body weighing just over 2kg and 31cm long. However, compromises have been made, with the maximum aperture being limited to f/6.3-9, making it considerably narrower than other rival lenses with less ambitious focal lengths. The RF 200-800mm is designed for full-frame cameras, but…
