Authors’ Acknowledgments

Mike and Brianna thank Sarah Hellert, Scott Tullis, Dennis Cohen, Carol Kessel, and everyone else at Wiley for their help with this book. Mike dedicates this book to his wife, who provided many of the photos in the examples, and his son, who continues to impress with his technological talents. Brianna dedicates this book to her husband, who doesn’t mind too much when his camera gear gets borrowed, and to her three-year-old twins, whose energy she really needs to figure out how to bottle.
