He loves landscape photography and has written to us asking if we can help him get the most out of his recently acquired Canon EOS 5D Mark III full-frame camera. We paired him up with leading landscape Canon pro Drew Buckley to shoot some of the best photo hotspots in the popular holiday destination of Anglesey in North Wales.

PRO TIP
CHANGING LENSES
DREW SWITCHES between his wide-angle and telephoto lenses when shooting landscapes, but taking the lens off on a sandy beach isn’t without issues… To avoid sand getting into the camera, which could cause dust spots or damage the sensor, he finds a good place so he’s shielded from the wind, puts his back to the wind, and points his camera body down to avoid dust or sand getting blown onto or into the camera. He then switches his lenses as fast as possible to reduce the chance of dust and dirt getting in to the system.
