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
that 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. Suggested Gear List: No gear
is required, but a camera with mid- range zoom, and a flash if you have one will allow hands on practical
11 application of techniques discussed.
