A selection of readers’ photographic queries

“I just want to take an opportunity to congratulate the author and editor of this edition’s article on creative control. This article is succinct, immensely readable but most importantly is a very effective teaching tool. In just seven pages you capture the essence of creative photography which in many other publications would take chapters and not as effectively. Whoever is responsible for this piece of writing should feel very pleased and proud of what is perhaps the most competent description of the relationships between aperture, speed, ISO with the inclusion of ‘reciprocal rule’, depth of field and manual control. Essential basics, irrespective of how good your EOS camera is.”
