To be an integrated part of your outdoor activity, photography must be light, fast and simple. This does not mean being casual or sloppy. Like the rest of your outdoor life, the more you put in, the more you get back. In photography, much of this input requires an investment of nothing more than time and thought. And much of this can be done when you’re indoors.

In the end, it’s your outdoor life and they’re your photographs. What you want from your pictures isn’t necessarily what we want, or anyone else wants. Everything in this book is based on experience, and it works for us, but that doesn’t always mean it will work for you. This much we can say: it will be worth trying.
