Take your best-ever shots with these professional tricks

Hi Photo,
The weather in the UK and much of the US might be hiding it, but there is such a thing as the Sun and (when it shows its face) it can help you to achieve truly stunning shots, particularly during the golden hours.

In our latest issue, you'll find out exactly how to make the best use of these key shooting times to take your best-ever landscapes. We'll also teach you the seven secrets of professional portraits (Ssh!) and how to improve your photos with exposure blending, plus much more.

Share your shots with us on Facebook and Twitter. If you can catch the Sun, even better - we've included a cut-out-and-keep golden hours compass in the print edition of the magazine to help you find it.

Enjoy the issue!
