The ‘M’ setting on the mode dial strikes fear into the hearts of many photographers. In an auto age where clever tech can take care of pretty much everything, having to decide such settings for yourself may seem like an unnecessary complication. But we’ll explain how taking complete control of your exposure can take your photos to the next level.
The verdict is in on the Nikon Z 5, Nikon’s entry-level full-frame mirrorless. But is the cost low enough to tempt you to make the leap to mirror-free photography? We also check out that accompanying Z 24-50mm kit lens – which is big on quality, but not so generous when it comes to zoom range…
Our Apprentice takes to the trails of a Bedfordshire woodland to shoot mountain bikers in action, under the instruction of Geoff Waugh, one of the UK’s leading pro bike sports photographers.

We sit down with inspiring youthful travel photographer Dallian Macadam in the N-Photo interview to talk about how he's determined to follow his dreams, despite battling with a life-limiting condition – and how he hopes to inspire others in turn.
Over in our Skills section, you’ll learn how to create marvellous mono prints, shoot flowers with a superzoom and try your hand at infrared photography with a low-cost filter, as well as Adobe CC and Affinity photo-editing tutorials to make your shots really sing.
And as an added bonus, we're giving away a Teach Yourself Portrait Photography ebook.
