His first camera was a point-and-shoot that had a dial with three pictures; sun, clouds and a candle. Now he is a professional photographer and has taken photos in almost 30 countries and has come to know what works best, and how to use it anywhere. Now Mark will share some of that experience with you. He learned long ago that not every gadget is a good thing to throw in your bag. "I was hiking around the pyramids in Giza, Egypt when my back told me I was using the wrong camera bag and I had too much stuff I didn't need in there." Mark said. "Ever since, I've really worked to make sure I have everything I need and not a thing more- and it should all be packed in the right bag." Now that you've invested in a good digital SLR camera, Mark will show you how to get the photos you want, whether you're out on assignment or out on vacation.
