Amateur Photographer – 14 June 2019
English | 70 pages | True PDF | 30.3 MB

There are a multitude of rules of thumb about photography and camera kit, covering everything from focusing to choosing a shutter speed. Some of them hark back to film days and no longer
apply, while some were never true. This week AndyWestlake takes out his sharpest pin to pop some of the most popular misconceptions in photography. Free yourself from the limitations that some of these myths have imposed. Another misconception we challenge in this week of Amateur Photographer magazine is the notion that you need a multilight set-up to shoot good studio portraits – Amanda Thomas shows what you can do with just one light. Finally, the myth that amateurs are not as good as pros is utterly destroyed by some of your fantastic entries to the mono round of APOY 2019 (page 23). Aren’t you a talented bunch?
