Spend the day with professional photographer and Canon Explorer of Light , Chas Glatzer , as he shares the thought process behind the making of an image and the techniques used to produce consistently successful images in the field . If you want to learn how to consistently produce images that are a cut above it is imperative you take control of your imagery . Chas will cover his proactive , in-the-field work methodology in depth , be it birds , wildlife , or any other photo discipline you are guaranteed to forever change the way you approach photography . The faster you are able to assess the conditions as presented and employ the tools and techniques necessary to render the image as desired , the more likely you are to accomplish your goal . There are four things ; knowing the fundamentals , familiarity with your equipment , being pro-active , and knowing your subject that are paramount to consistently produce successful imagery .
Meter patterns determine exposure . Priority modes change variables . All metering patterns and methods will work , some are simply easier to implement than others in certain circumstances . Learn how and when to use the various patterns and modes to your best advantage . The advantages and detriments of Manual and Av priority modes will be covered at length . Easy to remember tips and techniques will be provided . What matters most is that a pattern or method affords the photographer a consistent means of determining exposure . Chas will provide program participants with a firm understanding of metering fundamentals so that they can quickly make an informed decision , coming away with the envisioned image , regardless of the lighting circumstance . The ultimate goal is to put creative control back into the hands of the photographer .
The ability to visualize a finalized post-processed image prior to pressing the shutter is a huge advantage . The post-production techniques illustrated will change the way you expose and think about capturing images in-camera . You will walk away from this program with a renewed sense of confidence ; exposure will , regardless of circumstance , no longer be problematic .
