20 MINS Some effects just can’t be replicated in Adobe Photoshop, and circular polarising filters are one of those things. This essential landscape photography tool is used to reduce reflections and add more punch to blue skies. But these useful accessories can also be used to change the appearance of computer screens, since most laptops, tablets and even smartphones emit polarised light. In this project we’re going to transform a set of clear plastic forks into the vibrant, almost radioactive-looking, abstract you see above. The trick is to attach a circular polarising filter onto your lens, and then twist the adjustment ring to change the filter’s intensity. When you find the accessory’s sweet spot the screen of your electronic device will appear entirely black, while the plastic cutlery will take…

Lens maker Irix has announced the new 45mm f/1.4 Dragonfly optic for Fujifilm GFX cameras. The lens is impressive for two things, the first of which is its f/1.4 maximum aperture, making it the fastest lens ever for a GFX medium-format camera. The second is the price, which is just €845 at the Irix online shop, or about £750/$1,020. We say ‘only’, but that’s not a bad price for any medium-format lens, let alone an f/1.4. The 45mm focal length corresponds to roughly a 36mm prime in full-frame terms, so this is an ideal semi-wide ‘walkaround’ standard zoom – although with a length of 144mm and a weight of 1,120g, you might not want to walk very far. Like other Irix lenses, it’s manual focus only, so you’ll have to…

A professional photographer isn’t always a full-time one, and many successful image-makers find their time split between other creative outlets and endeavours. This is certainly the case with Matt Holland, a graphic designer, pro photographer and workshop leader. “For me, it’s the outdoors first, photography second,” he says. “If I go out and don’t get any photos, that doesn’t concern me. And it’s easy for me to say that, as for the last 20 years I have been a working expedition and outdoors leader, and as such I’ve always had a mindset of going for long walks in silly locations and daft weather for the sake of a night under canvas or muddying the boots.” Pro photographers need a niche or a selling point, and Matt’s is an extensive knowledge…

www.leica-camera.com £4,995/$5,995 The Leica Q2 Monochrom (like the regular Q2) does not form part of Leica’s regular camera ranges. It might look closest in design and audience to the Leica M range, and the Summilux lens bears the same name as some legendary M lenses, but this is a compact camera with an electronic viewfinder and a fixed lens, and is about as far from the M rangefinder design as you can get. The Leica Q2 is designed for photographers who are happy to embrace the limitations and the creative constraints of a fixed focal length lens in exchange for a stripped-down way of seeing and composing images, combined with some of the finest engineering in the camera world. u don’t buy a Leica Q2 to get the most features…
