Other highlights in January’s Digital Camera
And there are plenty of other camera techniques this month. The third part of our new Camera Clinic series will teach you everything you need to know about digital ISO.
Helmed by leading imaging writer and freelance photographer Will Cheung, Camera Clinic will help you master the art of modern photography, and make the most of contemporary camera technology.
January’s Hotshots gallery showcases the category winners of leading international competition Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2023.
Produced by the UK’s Natural History Museum, Wildlife PotY is accompanied by a book and a touring exhibition. You can enjoy the winning images from the comfort of home, from page 42 of January’s Digital Camera.
For this month’s main interview, we speak to the French climate photographer Christophe Jacrot.
His latest book sums up his approach; titled ’Lost in the Beauty of Bad Weather’, it shows what happens when you immerse yourself in challenging weather conditions, rather than trying to avoid them.
See a selection of Jacrot’s amazing photos from page 120.
This month’s Practical Photoshop delivers another trio of in-depth tutorials that demonstrate the latest features in Photoshop and Lightroom.
For a lesson on how to use the new Lens Blur panel in Photoshop, head to Tool School (above), and see what this new AI-powered tool can do for your image editing.
Switching to Adobe Lightroom, find out how to add a lens flare effect using this popular software. Lens flare is something normally avoided, but applying a subtle amount of it to landscape photos can create distinctive results.
Get the Look also focuses on Photoshop. This month, we show you how transform the mood of your outdoor shots by adjusting foliage tones using Hue/Saturation.
To complement all our tutorials, we bundle bonus software extras to improve your editing workflows.
This month, in addition to 15 new Photoshop Actions and Presets, we’re giving away all the software extras from 2023 – that’s a total of 243, including 155 Actions and Presets.
The exciting new Nikon Z f leads January’s kit reviews. Having seen the success of the crop-sensor Z fc, the brand recently launched a full-frame model. Find out what our test team made of it, from page 98.
Also reviewed this month is the OM System Tough TG-7, a robust compact designed to be taken anywhere. Our reviewer submerged the camera in a glass of water… did it survive intact and still be able to take photos? Turn to page 102.
Kit Zone continues with the Nikkor Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena, a bokeh-tastic prime for portrait photographers.
And a popular Sigma super-zoom for DSLRs was recently ported to mirrorless mounts. Our test of the Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sport is on page 108.
The January issue means that it’s time to look back over the best photo books of 2023.
