Foreword

It is a great pleasure to present this book, another publication in the Nikonians Press series. These volumes are easy-to-read reference books aimed to reinforce what the Nikonians Academy Workshops teaches throughout North America (soon expanding to Europe).

The author, Mike Hagen, is an avid adventurer who combines his passion for the outdoors with excellence in photography. He is a skilled digital photography instructor, location photographer, workshop leader, and editorial writer. He started Out There Images in 1998 as a way to share his passion for photography with others.

Powered by nikonians.org, the worldwide home for Nikon Photographers of all skill levels, the Nikonians Academy was created to extend into a small classroom setting an even more intense sharing, learning, and inspiring experience than is found in the Nikonians community forums.
