Digital Camera launched in 2002 and is the world’s leading digital photography magazine. It has been helping photographers of all skill levels to improve their images ever since.
Every issue is packed with technique tips, tutorials, inspiring images and expert buying advice, plus the latest news and equipment reviews, as well as a selection of free gifts (see below).
A lot of people caught the macro photography bug during the Covid-19 lockdowns and given the current cost of living concerns, it’s an ideal genre for enjoying at home, on a limited budget.
Covering plants, insects and creative approaches, August’s cover feature is packed with expert advice for shooting the world in close-up.
Don’t forget that you can subscribe to Digital Camera magazine and get the magazine delivered to your door every month. Choose between a print or digital subscription, or a bundle of the two.
There are plenty more photo techniques to immerse yourself in throughout the magazine, starting with Photo Active.
Discover how to use off-camera flash to shoot environmental action portraits, capture the unique bonds between horses and their riders, and go off-grid to really immerse yourself in landscape photography.
Plus, learn how to shoot creative images of flowers using intentional camera movement, and gain some expert insights for shooting long exposures at the coast.
