Advantages: Nice Photo DIY section

Disadvantages: Reviews lacking variety

Having just got back into my photography, I seem to be going crazy and buying every magazine on the subject. I had to draw the line somewhere though, as it was costing me a fortune. Then I saw this offer on The Magazine Group website, three issues for £1, so gave it a go.

My first issue arrived within a few days and I was pleasantly surprised. I won't say it has captured my imagination as much as Photography Monthly, but it is pretty good.

The May 2009 issue of Digital SLR Photography runs to 164 pages. It has some stunning photos in it and my favorite article of this issue is about Andrew Zuckerman and how he got all these really wonderful wild animals into his studio to photograph... the results are stunning and made me want to buy his book for a more in-depth look.

Back to the magazine, it has some great Reader's Photos, along with critique pages. The Photo DIY section is particularly good, showing how to tackle certain types of photo. The Reviews section is a bit lacking, with other magazines giving more variety. However, this issue did have a good review of studio lights, showing how the same photo looked with different budget lighting kits, that was very useful.

Will I subscribe? Probably not at full price, but if they have an offer on, I will.
