    What gear do you use? What camera? What’s in your 20lbs of camera gear? You might have already said but I just started watching

    Hi Ian. I was wondering if you worry about wild animals while you are out shooting in the mountains, Forrests etc. and what do you do to ensure your safety? Thanks for putting out this live webinar so that we may all learn first hand :)

    Please share some about filters. Particularly polarizer on wide angle problems.

    Hi Ian, how do you prepare for, and deal with, different regulations, like where you’re allowed to go in different national parks (such as walking in river streams, going off trail, and such), and knowing whether you need permits at all?

    What aperture did you use on the trillium to get the total photo in focus?

    When shooting while standing in a river or stream, do you have any recommendations for keeping your camera dry? Do you use any waterproof equipment?

    How did you manage the backlit photo of the rainforest using a digital camera? Is it HDR? Otherwise, the contrast is so great, it must have been difficult to catch the range of light.

    Hi Ian! We get a lot of rain in the spring. Wondering if you have any best practices for capturing landscape shots when there is moderate to heavy rain. Thanks!
