The December issue of Australian Photography + digital is out this week in newsagencies, via subscription and on iPad.
In the December edition of Australian Photography + digital we talk to former military man turned landscape photographer Scott Leggo about his stunning images and his unique approach to photography, we share a collection of brilliant tips to help you improve your eye for composition, and James Simmons explains how he came to shoot an unusual travel portrait in India.
In our regular step-by-step imaging project, pro photographer Nathan Duff walks you through the process of creating a striking spot-colour image, we showcase the moody low-key portraits of Oli Sansom, and Frans Lanting describes the techniques he used to capture a striking image in the wilds of Suriname in South America.
No December issue would be complete without a Christmas Gift Guide and we offer up a selection of the best products from 2012 to make sure the photographers in your life are well looked after this holiday season. In our 'Tested' section, Peter Burian reviews Nikon's most affordable full-frame DSLR yet, the 24.3-megapixel D600, while Andrew Fildes puts Sony's new fixed lens, high-end compact – the DSC-RX100 – through its paces.
You'll also find some great photo challenges (and prizes) on offer in our regular 'Your Best Shot' and 'Image Doctor' competitions, the best images from our recent 'flowers' competition, the latest photo news, 'Q & A' with Prashphutita Greco, and much more.
