Join Chas Glatzer in the field as he shares the thought process and techniques
behind making images in the field. Preparedness is the key to efficiency and

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 paramount to consistently producing successful imagery: knowing the
fundamentals, familiarity with your equipment, pre-visualization, and preparedness.
