Inside PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine Issue 220

August 2024 brings a packed issue of PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine, the monthly title dedicated to Canon EOS photographers. Across 116 pages, the editorial team and a roster of Canon pros deliver workshops, gear tests, and editing tutorials aimed at helping you get more from your camera—whether you shoot with a DSLR or a mirrorless EOS R body.

Landscapes in the Lake District 📷

The cover feature follows landscape pro James Abbott as he guides PhotoPlus Apprentice Lasse Petersen through the challenging, changeable scenery of the Lake District. You will see how they approach composition, light, and weather, and how a circular polarizer and careful highlight monitoring can make or break a scenic shot.

25 Canon Settings to Learn Today

Many EOS cameras hide powerful features behind menus you may never have explored. This issue highlights 25 settings worth knowing, from autofocus tweaks to image-processing options, so you can set up your camera with more confidence and spend less time fumbling in the field.

Weddings, Wildlife, and Budget Lenses

Wedding photographer Alisa Roberts talks about her energetic, people-first approach to capturing celebrations. Wildlife shooter Peter Travers shares a bird-hide session with the EOS R7 and RF 100-500mm lens. And the Super Test puts eight budget-friendly Canon lenses through their paces, with prices starting at £129—useful reading if you are building a kit without overspending.

Canon Skills and Software

The Canon Skills section includes projects on focus stacking for miniature scenes, aerial photography, and creative lighting. Photoshop, Lightroom, and Affinity tutorials cover portrait retouching, removing unwanted people from tourist spots, and blending exposures for balanced landscapes. Regular columns like Canon School, EOS SOS, and Photo Stories round out the issue with technical Q&As and reader inspiration.

Who This Issue Is For

If you own a Canon EOS camera and want practical, platform-specific guidance, this issue speaks your language. Beginners will find clear explanations, while more experienced photographers can dig into the pro workflows and gear recommendations. The mix of landscape, wedding, and wildlife content makes it a varied read rather than a single-topic special.

Why It Belongs in Your Digital Library

PhotoPlus is written by photographers who use Canon gear daily, and Issue 220 reflects that hands-on perspective. It is a focused, well-illustrated magazine that works as both a learning tool and a source of creative prompts. Add it to your Digital Delights collection and keep a month’s worth of Canon inspiration close at hand.
