The June 2013 issue of Australian Photography + digital is out now in newsagencies and on iPad.
The new issue of Australian Photography + digital is filled with photo and editing tips, photographer profiles, competitions, product reviews and much more.
Our cover story this issue looks at colour-to-b&w conversions, with a step-by-step guide to creating dramatic, tonally-rich monochrome images in Adobe Lightroom. There's a lot more to it than simply choosing 'convert to mono' and Mark Galer walks you through the techniques that professional photographers use to take control of tone and contrast at a global and local level.
If you're looking for help with portrait photography, Dale Morris has 12 great tips to help you shoot beautiful travel portraits. As a professional travel photographer Morris has crisscrossed the world photographing people and he's a firm believer that success is as much about the attitude of the photographer as it is about the camera techniques and equipment you use. He covers the technical aspects and shares some useful techniques to help you get the locals on your side and happily posing in front of your lens.
For inspiration, we meet extreme outdoor action photographer Krystle Wright whose portfolio is bursting with jaw-dropping images of base jumpers, rock climbers, kite surfers, paragliders and other adventure junkies. Marc Gafen talk to her about her approach to photography and some of the hair-raising things she has done in pursuit of 'the shot’.
Another inspiring pro photographer, Ryan Pierse, shares the inside story of his mind-boggling shot of the Australian Men’s Waterpolo team as they appear to 'float' in an empty ocean pool.
Peter Burian looks at the current crop of point-of-view action cameras, and explains what features you should look for if you're buying, and Andrew Fildes tests the latest version of Portrait Professional Studio 11. Of course this issue also includes the Your Best Shot and Image Doctor photo competitions, columns by writers Frans Lanting and Prashphutita Greco, the camera buyers' guide, and much more.
The print edition of Australian Photography + digital will be available in newsstands and delivered to subscribers later this week. The iPad version is available at the App Store now.
