Each month, there is a theme for the You Connect Gallery. Typically the Tutorial will link to this theme so it is a good place to understand the relevant features on your Canon camera and techniques to consider. But you also need to think about what will make your photos stand out amongst the many entries. Next month’s Gallery will show the photos that best show the season changing from winter to spring.
The type of camera
Good photos capture a memorable moment; they do not require the best equipment. So don’t worry if you don’t have the latest EOS and a wide range of lenses; the pictures chosen for the Gallery are often taken on simple equipment. Gary Knight, one of the Canon Ambassadors, frequently uses just one prime lens so that he can concentrate on the photo he is taking.
