Over summer we’re treated to some beautiful light, which can make for all sorts of photographic opportunities, from longer days offering more time to take shots in glorious sunshine, to low sun casting super-long shadows and even changing the quality of light, so that it’s wonderfully soft and gentle around sunrise or sunset. To help you conquer this season, we’ve collaborated with four Canon pros, all leading in their own fields, that will reveal their top tips to make the most of summer sun. So whether you’re into landscapes, wildlife, sports and even travel photography, we’ve got you covered. You’ll learn how filters can be used to tame bright light in your images to create a balanced exposure; use accessories like mirrors and reflectors to bounce light back into shaded spots; understand which lenses will work best for you and how to get great travel shots, safely, whatever the current COVID-19 guidelines.

With summer drawing to a close officially in the UK on 22 September, you still have plenty of time to catch the last of the best light before we head into autumn and the days begin to get notably shorter and cooler once again. With all that said, let’s get started…
