For this annual we’ve selected our best content from the past year of N-Photo – the only magazine dedicated to photography using Nikon DSLR and mirrorless cameras. We kick off our Essentials section with a choice selection of features, showing you how to expand your options with extra lenses, shoot Raw images with confidence and even turn your photography hobby into a moneyspinner, while our excellent Apprentice articles pair a pro photographer with a reader and explain how to shoot live music gigs, architecture and tasty food photos. A selection of projects guides you through essential techniques, from reading the histogram to taking great wildlife shots in a safari park. The Gear Zone is filled with group tests including every current Nikon interchangeable lens camera plus lenses to screw into the front of them.
