It has been said that the best love affairs generally start off as friendships. So what does that have to do with photography you ask? Well, I started with a lukewarm friendship when Live View first arrived on scene in 2007 with Canon's release of the 1DMKIII camera. I must admit, for the first year, I hardly touched it. Then, slowly, I began to tinker with it. I actually have to credit one of my workshop students with really showing me its potential as a serious tool when I noticed her checking critical focus. Hmm, now it had my rapt attention!

Today, I simply cannot live without it. I've truly fallen head-over-heels in love with this technology and use it on every landscape image I capture. To read more about the (6) reasons why I find Live View an indispensable tool, please read my new blog post: Falling In Love With Live View.
