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
proficiency is the way to better images. The faster you can 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 paramount to consistently producing successful imagery: knowing
the fundamentals, familiarity with your equipment, pre-visualization, and
preparedness. Suggested Gear List: camera body and at least a 100-400mm lens, a longer telephoto
or zoom is beneficial for isolating and photographing birds at distance, tripod recommended if using long
500/600 or heavier telephoto or zoom lenses. Flash, if you would like instruction.
