Now that we're having to spend more time at home, we’ve given a bigger focus to photography projects to enjoy under lockdown restrictions.
Photo Active gets things under way, with seven great projects you can shoot indoors, plus more inspiration besides.
Remember that if you can't get to the shops to buy a copy, then you can buy Digital Camera online.
Plus, we're also running a lockdown-friendly five issues for £5/$5/€5 promotion. Don't delay – subscribe today!
Our new Stay at Home section follows on and will walk you through some of the photographic housekeeping you’ve been meaning to do for ages – if only you had the time.
Now you probably do, so this selection of lockdown-friendly jobs includes scanning photo prints with a camera, an introduction to image cataloguing, and a new four-part series on how to build a photography website.
This month’s Shoot Sharper Shots cover feature is an essential guide to getting tack-sharp images every time, whether you shoot wildlife, nature or action.
And Camera College covers a related subject: how autofocus works, and how to get the most out of it.
As always in Digital Camera, there’s plenty of inspiration to savour.
Our Hotshots gallery showcases our highlights from the 2020 Zeiss Photography Award, while leading pro Craig McDean talks about fusing fast cars and fashion for his forthcoming photo book, in our seven-page Q&A interview.
Image editing is something that can safely be undertaken in lockdown, of course, so we’ve expanded the range of our coverage.
Alongside Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, you can now immerse yourself in a Serif Affinity Photo tutorial – the first of a new series.
This section is also where you can find out how to download and use Skylum Aurora HDR 2018, this issue's software gift.
New camera reviews lead on the Fujifilm X100V, followed by the Olympus PEN E-PL10, plus why Canon’s EOS-1D X pro workhorse would make a great pre-owned buy right now.
Lenses on test include the Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S and Laowa’s 65mm f/2.8 UM macro marvel, while the best bokeh lenses grace our group test.
