Scott Kranz and Glazer's Camera organized tonight's talk and promoting the camera sale this weekend at Glazer's.
Scott Kranz spent the last 2 summers documenting his climb of Bulger List.
During the intermission, he talked about camera gear. He uses Sony. The Sony representative at Glazer is also present.
He publishes a gear list.
Afterwards, during Q&A, he said either he uses a hip-belt camera pouch (for protection + quick access), or a shoulder belt clip (quicker access).
He also emphasized the research before his trip: both for condition and weather.
He even plot where he'd be at what hour for optimal shot.
I asked him what peaks he like to climb outside of Bulger.
He mentioned Mt Olympus, The Picket Range, Vesper-Del Compo area.
Scott Kranz was a corporate attorney. About 10 some years agao, he quit his day job, and now freelancing as a photographer. Quite a good speaker.
Donation is collected for WTA. A large turn out. The talk started late. No water fountain on site.
Update, Dec 11, 2025. Scott gave another talk, this time emphasize on photography, organized by Glazer's Camera. He had 6 lessons. I only remembered these:
- Have a system for quick access to camera. (See above: hip holster and a clip on shoulder belt)
- Have 3 presets on your camera for different scenarios.
- Have partners to share the moment, and be the foreground.
