Part 3. Making Fusion

This section is all about making Fusion, in as simple a way as possible. By having everything ready ahead of time, even the unforeseen issues that crop up on a wedding day, shouldn't distract you from what you need to do to make Fusion.

We've prefaced this section with a disclaimer: The first time you try Fusion should not be at a wedding or any other paying job. Just like you should test all new equipment before using it on a wedding day, you should practice Fusion ahead of time. Become familiar with the equipment, practice in different light, and know how to work with real people is extremely important. Grab a friend or even your pet. This book will help you with what you need to do to create Fusion, but it cannot give you the hands-on experience you need to make it happen.

Fusion is an extension of, and compliment to, your still photography, and practicing before a real event will allow you to maintain your composure and focus on the wedding day itself.
