Amateur Photographer Magazine

31 January, 2026

Long-term projects are a great way to stay motivated, and this week we talk to Beckie Burr, who travels the UK and beyond to document ancient stone sites, and Simon Buckley, who gets up before dawn to document his home city, Manchester. Plus we share a selection of images from President Trump’s return to the White House. We also test the Honor Magic8 Pro and two lenses aimed at users on a budget: Canon’s 200-800, for wildlife and sports shooters, and a cheap-as-chips portrait lens from Viltrox
