THE APPRENTICE
GARY KIMBER
CAMERA: CANON EOS 5D MK IV After suffering a heart attack 10 years ago which resulted in a triplebypass surgery, Gary is now semi-retired, and loves to get out shooting with his cameras in his spare time. His passion is motorsports photography, but he'd like to shoot more landscapes, and develop his camera skills in the process, including mastering Manual mode and learning how to use lens filters.

TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT

Landscape pro Jack started out by showing Gary how to set up his camera to capture landscapes

APERTURE PRIORITY MODE

Gary is used to using Shutter Priority, or Tv (Time Value) mode on his Canon camera as it allows him to set the shutter speed for the right amount of blur when photographing motorsports. Jack explained that Aperture Priority, or Manual mode, would be preferable for landscapes because it’s more important to be able to set the aperture in order to control the depth of field, or how much of the scene is in sharp focus.
