Ever wondered how to capture those moments in the landscape when time seems to stretch? Think flowing water, drifting clouds and moving skies.
That's the theme of this month's cover feature, where you'll learn how to translate this continuous motion into a single frame, compressing time and revealing nature’s silent choreography.
Your tutor is Karolina Konsur, a landscape photographer based in Gdansk, Poland, who specializes in seascapes and long exposures. An award-winning artist, Karolina is a global ambassador for Marumi lens filters, so you're in the best possible hands. Turn to page 62 to get started.
