You creep down the stairs in the early hours and peer into the living room. “He’s been, he’s been!” You race through piles of socks and jumpers, which reveal a stout box at the back of the tree. Could it be? Yes! It’s a new Nikon! You thumb through the manual while the battery charges and, as soon as the flashing amber light emits a solid beam, you whip off the lens cap and proceed to capture the few willing subjects. But when you tire of shooting blurry low-light pictures of grandma snoozing in the armchair, you’ll thank Santa for delivering this issue and its Christmas-themed skills section (page 43).
