2 HOURS In 17th century Holland a trend emerged for larger-than-life paintings of still-life flower arrangements. Galvanized by the fledgling disciplines of botany and horticulture at the time, Dutch artists like Jan Brueghel the Elder, Ambrosius Bosschaert and Roelandt Savery painted bulging bouquets brimming with allegory. Impossibly overblown arrangements full of tangling stems and masses of overlapping blooms were typical pieces of work for the time, and these collections of luscious art would go on to influence both painting and flower arrangement for centuries to come. We’ll take inspiration from the Dutch masters for this project to craft our own ‘impossible’ flower arrangement. By holding flowers from our relatively small bunch in various positions over a series of frames we can elevate the bouquet to a height that defies the…

Benro has announced a new and innovative ‘smart’ tripod head called the Polaris. It has electrical controls and programmable features that are accessed via an app, and can be connected to your camera remotely for complex operations such as shooting panoramas, timelapses and focus stacks. While products such the Camranger 2 or the Smartta SliderMini 2 offer features that allow you to control your camera and/or perform some kind of movement, we’ve not seen tripod heads include features like these before. The Polaris is available in four versions offering progressively more advanced features. Perhaps most impressively, all but the most basic Timelapse model can be used to capture night-sky images, using a built-in GPS, compass, and astromaps to move the head to prevent tailing or streaks – operations that would…

Available in both Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw, the Hue, Saturation and Luminosity tools in the Color Mixer panel give you a fine degree of control over colours and tones in your images, enabling to subtly alter a single colour or a range of tones, or change them completely, In this video tutorial we’ll made use of the Color Mixer tools to re-colour the backdrop without affecting the subject. This takes mere seconds with a targeted Hue adjustment, and doesn’t require any complicated selections or cut-outs. You simply enable the Hue sampler, then drag over the backdrop to alter the colour. If you want to delve deeper into controlling the hue, saturation and luminosity of colours in the image you can experiment with Camera Raw and Lightroom’s local adjustment tools,…

Black and white remains one of the most popular genres of photography. Like all photography publications, we receive a huge number of monochrome images from photographers around the world, demonstrating a near-universal appreciation for the power of simplicity, light and shadow – the fundamentals of any image. While colour imaging can produce an accurate, life-like recreation of the world around us, black and white is able to transcend the natural to produce a unique, visceral representation of what our senses encountered in the field. This may be due in part to the fact that, whether you’re using a camera to study a scene or your own eyes, you’re effectively seeing in monochrome. Both only ‘see’ light and shade – bright and dark. The sensor in a digital camera and the…

The winners of the 2020 Travel Photographer of the Year contest have been revealed, showcasing spectacular images captured around the globe and giving us a welcome shot of escapism in a year where travel has been limited for most of us, while perhaps also reminding us what we’re missing out on. Almost 25,000 images were submitted from photographers in 147 countries, with Vladimir Alekseev crowned overall winner for his portfolio of images that featured a mix of landscapes, wildlife and people. TPOTY founder Chris Coe said: “Travel photography in a global pandemic, with numerous travel bans, has been challenging to say the least, but travel photographers are a resourceful breed, as the latest set of winning images testify.” Click the link to see all the winning and commended images at…

www.nikon.co.uk £2,999/$2,997 The Nikon Z 7II is the follow-up to Nikon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera, the Z 7, which was launched in 2018. With a 45.7-megapixel full-frame sensor at its heart, the Z 7II is Nikon’s new flagship mirrorless model, and is designed to take on the likes of Canon’s EOS R5 and the Sony Alpha 7R IV while also tempting DSLR owners to make the switch to mirrorless. Sitting alongside the Z 7II is Nikon’s more enthusiast-orientated full-frame mirrorless camera, the 24.5-megapixel Z 6II, which costs significantly less than the pro-orientated Z 7II, and is marketed as more of an all-rounder. We’re big fans of the original Z 7 and, as the name suggests, Nikon hasn’t started from the ground up with the Z 7II. Instead, the company has…
