Panning is a photographic technique that can be applied to create a sense of speed and flow around a moving object. Using panning, you can keep your subject in sharp focus while blurring your background. There are two extremes with this technique – you can either freeze a fast-moving subject against a moving backdrop or capture motion in the subject. This is often suited to slower-moving subjects, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. Panning in this way makes for an interesting slow motion effect, while giving the impression the subject was moving faster than they were. Whichever technique you prefer, both help to camouflage uninspiring backgrounds such as buildings or unwanted objects. Here are some top tips to convey a sense of motion when panning. PAN LIKE A PRO…

Lens flare is usually something photographers will take care to avoid, but with the right image, it can enhance the mood. It’s ideal for travel and lifestyle photography, as what we lose in detail we make up for in atmosphere. Of course, if you want natural flares then the best approach is to capture them in-camera by shooting into the sun. But sometimes the effect is difficult to capture, or it can look weak. In our photo above, there was a subtle lens flare in the original image, but it was too weak to register properly. Whether you want to add to existing lens flare like this or create it from scratch, Affinity Photo has a range of tools that can help you to achieve the desired effect. Unlike Photoshop,…

AstrHori’s first full-frame autofocus lens has been released for Nikon Z mount – and at just £222 /$250, the 85mm f/1.8 optic looks like an absolute steal for Nikon mirrorless shooters. AstrHori is a third-party manufacturer that makes affordable specialist lenses, including tilt-shift, macro, and fisheye optics, which offer features and performance that belie their low prices. The 85mm F1.8 Full-frame AF is already available for Sony E mount. The 85mm F1.8 offers one of the most popular portrait focal lengths, enabling photographers to isolate the subject and compress the background. The lens can also be mounted on APS-C cameras, providing an equivalent focal length of 127.5mm – not far off that of the recently released Nikkor Z 135mm f/1.8S Plena. The lens is constructed with nine elements in eight…

Photography website and magazine All About Photo has announced the winners of its latest AAP Magazine competition, ‘Shadows’. Shinji Ichikawa from Japan took first place for his series The Old Man With an Umbrella, which he created to commemorate his father’s 80th birthday. “It captures him at the intersection of life and death, infused with my own feelings of anxiety and fear as I witness his journey,” Ichikawa writes. “The stark silhouette of my father holding an umbrella against the vibrant red and black backdrop emphasizes the contrast between life’s fragility and its resolute continuation.” Click the link to see more images at All About Photo.com, where you can also purchase the AAP Magazine and sign up for the AAP newsletter.

www.fujifilm.com £3,899/$3,999 I love that tilt-shift lenses enable me to do things in-camera that are difficult or impossible to replicate during editing without some serious compromises. This Fujinon GF 30mm F5.6 T/S is one of the best tilt-shift lenses on the market right now, and arguably the best of all time, as well as being one of the top Fujinon GF lenses, full stop. So what exactly is a tilt-shift lens? In essence, it has a moveable front section that allows you to tilt the optical path in relation to the camera, or to shift it up and down. The tilt function changes the plane of focus, effectively allowing you to alter the depth of field irrespective of the aperture setting. This can be useful in landscape photography, where you…

Shutter speed control might seem like a basic skill for a more advanced photographer: it’s one of the first aspects of camera work that we learn when starting out in photography, and you might think that there isn’t much more that you need to know about controlling the duration of your exposures. However, the shutter speed you select does more than simply moderating how much light enters the camera, and learning the various creative uses of shutter speed settings can open up a world of advanced techniques for use in any situation. As with most camera setups, it’s possible to get stuck in an artistic rut, using the same settings over and over, and capturing similar images on each of our shoots. Sometimes, making simple changes to our choice of…

Painting with light is a relatively simple technique that doesn’t require specialist equipment. You can either bring your own torch, or use ambient light sources that you find while on location. Light painting is best suited to capturing images after dark, when you’ll need to employ an extended shutter speed in order to allow sufficient time to capture the entire effect or movement of the light source. Think beyond the popular technique of waving a torch to create shapes or paint your scene, and seek alternative light sources to illuminate an image. Here are some unconventional ways to light-paint that go beyond the familiar approach. BALANCE PAINTERLY LIGHT SOURCES Work natural and artificial lighting into your images for subtle effects 1 PAINT WITH CAR LIGHTS Use car lights to paint…

It’s easy to shy away from outdoor portrait photography. On the surface, it doesn’t seem very accessible: you need a willing model, super-fast lenses and all manner of lighting equipment, right? But portrait photography can be more accessible than you think. Sure, you can’t get around the need to source a model, but family and friends will often be happy to sit for you. And failing that, there are plenty of portrait groups out there that share the price of hiring a professional model or two. And while we’d all love to be able to afford a high-end fast portrait prime, you can pick up some really affordable f/1.8 primes, such as the superb Viltrox 85mm f/1.8, that will stand you in good stead. Best of all, you don’t need…
