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.
