Working in the field,Winter photography,Nature Photography's Year

Working in the field enjoyably is what this section of the book explains. Making sure that once again, you have a convenient tripod for lugging around. The book also suggests getting a vest which also sounds quite efficient when searching for numerous gadgets and such. I found something I strongly agree with when it comes to cell phones. Always keep one on you in case of an emergency and especially when shooting by yourself. Alert someone of your location and length of stay before leaving.

One of the most important parts of this next section, 'Winter Photography,' is dedicated to clothing. Layers are crucial and those that zip on and off are even better for those freezing days. This is easily understood for me coming from Montana where the weather can change drastically in an instance. It can be hot and beautiful, rain and snow in the same day without question in Montana. Also, for this class we will be shooting during the fall season when times can get pretty chilly. This segment helps give a good winter preparation.

Lastly, Fitzharris depicts his favorite place to photograph each month. It is interesting to see what his explanations are for each month and even though they are surely different for all photographers, I loved looking at the great shots he has captured in this section and throughout the book. I have been to Kauai, HI and loved every second of the trip. From sunrise to sunset I remember looking at the beautiful land and absorbing all of the perfect snapshot opportunities. I would love to go again with a really great camera...possibly in December as he advises.
