Daybreak
Shooting in the golden hour allows you to capture low, raking light on a landscape, which adds an evocative mood to any scene.
With long days and clear nights, summer gifts us with more hours of photo opportunities. If you're an energetic photographer, the extended shooting time offers a host of fun photo projects to tackle.
You're going to have to burn your creative candle at both ends, but it's possible to shoot a new and diverse portfolio in one mega session in a one long day. If you go for it, we'll allow a quick siesta in the middle of the day to recharge your personal batteries, while giving your Canon camera's battery a boost, too.
Early and late in the day deliver warm, evocative light, enabling you to shoot atmospheric images that catch the eye. But with a change of direction and some considered technique, you don't have to put your camera away when the sun climbs high in the sky. You just need to know how to work with the light and set up your Canon camera accordingly.
Over the pages, our team including photographers and contributors Jon Adams and Andrew James, will take ou through the techniques you need to capture stunning summer images. Tackling different subjects across a range of photo disciplines from the moment the sun rises until just after it's set - is a tough but rewarding mission that can arm you with a raft of essential EOS camera and photo skills along the way. Let's get started shall we?
