The July edition of Australian Photography + digital covers plenty of photographic territory, from a feature outlining eight key tips you can use to improve your wildlife photography, to a profile on former refugee and dual Walkley award-winning photographer Barat Ali Batoor. And we make sure beginners are also in the loop, with a story outlining eight common mistakes made by new photographers and how to can avoid them.
Award-winning photographers Steve and Ann Toon are veteran wildlife photographers, and their no-nonsense style of writing simplifies and clarifies what can at first seem to be an intimidating subject for those new to the craft. From clear explanations on how to best use natural light, to some basic tips about how to compose more powerful pictures, their feature is a 'must-read' for anyone hoping to improve the standard of their wildlife photos.
Writer Anthony McKee talks to the extraordinary photographer Barat Ali Batoor who won two Walkley awards for photography last year. The former refugee has photographed in war-torn Afghanistan, and also recorded his own desperate voyage by boat to reach Australia. His life story, as well as his unique approach to what he now considers his vocation, is enthralling reading.
We also have a review on a new Leica camera which signals a significant change of direction for the iconic camera maker. This long-standing manufacturer has developed a unique camera body made from a single piece of aluminium which our reviewer Marc Gafen likens to a sculptured piece of art.
Along with a story from our software expert Mark Galer on how to control contrast and saturation in blurred images using post-production techniques, this month we've got all the bases covered.
