Hit the streets with your Canon camera

Whether you live in a big city or you’re taking a day trip to see some sights, urban environments are full of photographic potential.

There’s so much to point your Canon EOS mirrorless or DSLR camera at, it can be difficult to know where to even begin! From the hustle and bustle of busy city streets to amazing architecture, a vibrant urban snapshot is never far from reach.

That’s why this month I headed to our capital city of London, and in this project I run through six fun and exciting ways you can get started with street photography.

When it comes to what equipment you need to take a decent street shot, an entry-level Canon EOS DSLR or mirrorless camera will be ideal, with either a kit lens such as an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens for APS-C, or something like a 24-70mm or 24-105mm on a full-frame body. Even premium compacts can work well and help you keep a low profile, this is especially useful when taking reportage style shots of people going about their day.

The Art of Copying Art - James Paterson shows you how to use your Canon gear to capture artwork and paintings the right way with simple camera and lighting skills

Whether you want to capture a painting like the above, digitise old prints or reproduce any kind of canvas, there's real skill in capturing artwork with your camera. Not only do you need the colours to be accurate, you also need to master the spread, angle and quality of the light to minimise glare and show the work at its best.This painting by the artist Bryan Hanlon has a wonderfully subtle colour palette. To reproduce the painting in print and digital form, it needs to be captured in the right way.
