For those who’d like to capture some new files to edit, then some cracking seasonal projects can be found in Photo Active.
Highlights this month include shooting a pirates-themed still-life at home, channeling the Pirates of the Caribbean film you inevitably watched over the festive season, using flash to elevate your shots of winter ice-skating, and checking out the photographic opportunities at your local cathedral.
Plus, learn how to combine wildlife with snowfall for fabulous fox photos (above), shoot the awe-inspiring Northern Lights, and discover how to deal with people when practicing street photography, in the second part of our serialisation of Brian Lloyd Duckett's Street Photography Workshop book.
The theme of our latest monthly reader photo challenge is indoor still-life, so to be in with a chance of winning a £50 voucher towards Cewe Wall Art, send us your best shot. You’ll find all the details in project 10, on page 38.
