Our Featured Articles Area for April

In April the clocks have gone forward for the UK folk, so there's more light in the evening, the weather is warming up and as the spring flowers start to die out the new colours of summer start to show their faces. The leaves are starting to open on trees, so there's plenty of buds to shoot. Country houses, parks and gardens have started to open their doors/gates to visitors, and events, festivals and open days are beginning to occur around the country.

It's a good time to shoot black & white landscapes as there's not enough variation to make the most of the colour. As the tress are still lacking canopies you'll get some strong high angle sun shafts through the branches. Check out our black & white article.

For those who prefer to stay indoors we've included a selection of techniques on using flash. And, of course don't miss our Photoshop tutorials by using our search facility in the techniques section.

Happy shooting.
