THE NEED FOR SPEED

CANON PRO

NAME: ROB GRAY

CAMERA: CANON EOS R3 & R5

ROB STARTED his photography journey in 2013, picking up an entry-level Canon EOS 550D as a way to shoot his big hobby at motorsport events. He's since turned his passion into a pro career, graduating from shooting the UK domestic racing scene to jetting off to Moto GP races all over the world, as well as running his online Speed of Light Academy. www.speedoflightacademy.com

APPRENTICE

NAME: PHIL PERRY

CAMERA: CANON EOS R5

PHIL IS a healthcare relationship manager with a high street bank. In his spare time, he loves to photograph motorsports and has recently upgraded to a Canon EOS R5. He wrote to us asking whether we could help him get the most out his new Canon camera, so we paired him up with pro racing photographer Rob at Donington Park Circuit to take some fast and furious motorbike photos.

HOT SHOT #1

Lens Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II

Exposure USM 1/250 sec, f/3.5, ISO100

TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT

Rob set up Phil's EOS R5 so it was ready for action

MANUAL MODE

TO BEGIN, Rob set Phil's Canon EOS R5 to its Manual mode so that he could take full control of exposures. The first setup was all about using fast shutter speeds to make sure the riders were pin sharp in shot, so he set a shutter speed of 1/500 sec and an aperture of f/4 to let in loads of light. He also switched on Auto ISO, so there was one less exposure setting to worry about, enabled Raw image quality, and turned on the fastest burst rate mode, too.

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.
