'New Big 5'

Photography is at the heart of the new Big 5 project – a conservation initiative that aims to raise awareness of the threats to the world's wildlife. Five Canon photographers share their passion and experience.

Some images lend themselves to being shot in black-and-white, and can evoke very different moods to colour images. Your Canon EOS camera has various options for monochrome capture, either in-camera or in post-production. We explain how and what you need to consider in terms of subject.

Landscape SCN modes

Starling spectacle

Starling murmurations are an enthralling natural phenomenon both to watch and photograph. Here's how to make the most of the seasonal opportunities with your Canon EOS camera, with Jeremy Flint as your guide.

Speedlite EL-100

Size is deceptive. This small, light flashgun is versatile and not to be underestimated, says Nina Bailey. Its compatibility across all Canon EOS cameras and range of functionality makes it an ideal kitbag addition.
