The DJI Osmo Pocket is arguably the most innovative camera to have been launched in the last couple of years. This miniature device combines an action cam with a built-in gimbal stabilizer, making it a great choice for vloggers. But now this DJI’s de

There’s an undeniable irony that black and white photography is one of the most popular genres of the medium today. Despite the advances in photographic technology and colour reproduction processes, photographers the world over still choose to either

Low-key lighting has been favoured for its dramatic style in photography and cinema for decades. Closely associated with film noir, low-key images focus viewer attention on one area of the frame by limiting contextual detail. They introduce a sense o

When it comes to black-and-white images there’s a significant difference in the most effective style for each scene. One approach does not fit all conditions, and just as with the choice to convert an image to monochrome or leave it in colour, the st

When black and white film was the only photographic medium available and every image created was devoid of colour, the viewer had their expectations set by these limitations. And while the photographer had to be aware of the effects of shooting a sce

One of the most important things novices learn about photography is that an effect or style is not reason enough for an image to exist. Any exposure, colour, lighting or composition choice should enhance the impact of a carefully selected and positio

Try shooting in-camera black-and-white images to think of every frame in monochrome, rather than as candidates for later conversion. Shoot in JPEG format to apply B&W picture presets. Consider altering the native aspect ratio of your images in-camera

Any successful digital photographer working at a professional level understands the importance of bespoke image processing. No two images benefit from identical editing settings, and when working with genres as different as colour and monochrome phot

4 HOURS Toy photographers are master illusionists; they can allow us to suspend disbelief by making their subjects seem alive, fooling the viewer into thinking they’re not looking at a pint-sized plaything at all. This niche genre of photography is b

Standard zoom lenses cover most eventualities for day-to-day shooting, so it pays to have a good one. You can buy most Canon and Nikon DSLRs as complete kits with a standard zoom. In the APS-C format camp, the most popular option is a light and fairl

In today’s era of crisp digital perfection there’s something endearing about old-school chemical film flaws. In days gone by, camera makers faced the problem of light leaking into the camera body and accidentally exposing parts of the film inside. Th

This lens offers a wider maximum viewing angle than any other Canon standard zoom for APS-C DSLRs. It also boosts telephoto reach, compared with the 18-55mm kit lens, with an effective zoom range of 24-136mm. The design of this optic is comparatively

Marginally larger and heavier than Canon’s previous EF-S 18-55mm IS II kit lens, the latest IS STM boasts some key advantages. Previous editions relied on a basic electric autofocus motor that was noisy and sluggish, and worse still, the manual focus

Compared with Nikon’s 24-120mm VR kit lens, this model, often bundled with the EOS 6D Mark II, is little more than half the price. It lacks some of the Nikkor’s finery, though: it’s not a constant-aperture lens, it has neither weather seals nor a foc

Easily manageable for an f/2.8 standard zoom, this lens is little more than two thirds the physical length of the competing Nikon, and shaves nearly 25% off the weight. The Mark II represents a major revamp over the original lens, with an upgraded op

Building on the success of Nikon’s original AF-S 24-120mm VR, this second edition has a constant rather than variable aperture rating and an upgraded stabiliser. It’s been on sale for a decade now, though, and the 3.5-stop stabiliser is less effectiv

When you trade up from a standard kit lens to a more sophisticated zoom, there’s often little or no improvement in autofocus speed, nor in facets of image quality like sharpness, colour fringing and distortion. The biggest difference you’ll usually f

New meets old in this lens: it combines an effective yet conventional ring-type ultrasonic autofocus system with a new-generation, electromagnetically controlled diaphragm, which helps to maintain consistently accurate exposures in rapid continuous d

Available as a kit lens with or without Nikon’s Vibration Reduction tech, the stabilised version of this lens is definitely the one to go for. Both have a retractable design that enables a small carrying size, but unlike the previous AF-S editions, t

Measuring 155mm in length, this is one of the biggest standard zoom lenses on the market. You’d be forgiven for assuming that it had an internal zoom mechanism, but the barrel extends even further as you near either end of the zoom range. Redesigned
