STUNNING IMAGERY FROM THE WORLD OF CANON PHOTOGRAPHY
01 STICK TO IT BY STEVEN ZHOU
Steven has taken an incredible shot here capturing the perfect moment to create eye contact with the bull and excellent expression from the rider. His conversion to black and white has enabled him to boost the contrast and make for winning shot packed with drama and atmosphere.

02 WILL YOU? BY HENRIK SPRANZ Henrik has caught this unique moment between a pair of European ground squirrels. In this cute exchange, he shot the moment they were both interested in a flower and side-on to the camera for a great composition. He also got down low and shot with a wide aperture of f/5 to make it easier to blur the background so the attention was firmly on his subjects.
Lens Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM
Exposure 1/2000 sec, f/5, ISO640

05 199 STEPS BY CHRIS SMITH
Chris has taken a magical shot of the iconic Whitby steps in North Yorkshire. Shooting in the blue hour just after sunset has provided him with a beautiful, cool colour palette in the landscape, complemented wonderfully by the warm glow from the street lamp that he’s positioned in the frame using the rule of thirds.

06 CORMORANT BY JOHN MIHOPULOS
John expertly zoomed in with his RF 600mm F4L lens and used a 1.4x extender for a focal length of 840mm to achieve a frame-filling shot of this cormorant swallowing a catfish – an amazing moment!
