STAYCATION PHOTO SKILLS

THE PRO DREW BUCKLEY

CAMERA: CANON EOS R5

Drew is a professional photographer based in Pembrokeshire, Wales. He shoots just about every genre, from landscapes to wildlife and weddings, and his images have appeared in a wide range of publications. Drew runs workshops throughout the year, and he wrote and took the images for his book Photographing South Wales, and took the pictures for the book Wilder Wales. https://bit.ly/3mt7H1O

THE APPRENTICE ANDY FULLMAN

CAMERA: CANON EOS 5D MK III

Andy is a 58-year-old civil servant who lives in Conwy, with the stunning North Wales coast on his doorstep. He loves landscape photography, and he wants some tips to help him get the most out of his recently acquired Canon EOS 5D Mark III full-frame DSLR.

TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT

Drew started out by setting up his and Andy’s cameras, ready to take some captivating coastal shots

MANUAL MODE Drew shoots in Manual mode, which allows him to dial in the shutter speed, aperture and ISO values he wants, overriding his camera’s built-in metering, which would alter his settings if filters were added or the lighting changed. He set up Andy’s camera to also shoot in Manual mode, and advised Andy to regularly check the exposure of images on his rear screen, and make adjustments to settings as and when needed.
