    APPRENTICE

    NAME: CHRIS VINES

    CAMERA: CANON EOS 760D

    CHRIS IS a very keen birder and Canon enthusiast who loves to photograph birds of all types. He’s 65 years old and a retired insurance underwriter living near Bath. He asked for our help to get the most out of his Canon camera, as he often runs into trouble when trying to keep fast-flying subjects sharp. We arranged a photoshoot at a local bird of prey centre.

    CANON PRO

    NAME: DAN MOLD

    CAMERA: CANON EOS-1D X MK III

    OUR TECHNIQUE editor Dan has been a semi-pro for more than five years, and writing for photo mags for the best part of a decade. He’s shot many subjects, but wildlife is the genre he likes shooting most, whether it’s in his garden, local bird hide, deer park, or in the wild. This month we visited the West of England Falconry centre to improve reader Chris’s skills. www.digitalcameraworld.com/uk/author/dan-mold

    TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT

    Before they started, Dan showed our Apprentice Chris a few key camera settings to help him get set to capture sharper shots of birds of prey in action in the air

    Sharpen Your Canon Skills
    As a photographer, if there’s one bar you have to hit, it’s the ability to capture a sharp shot – and that means an image with crisp, well-defined edges on the subject or area you want to be sharp. By ‘sharp’, we mean that there’s no trace of blur or
