Summer Photo Tips
Take My Camera, Please!!!
The last two Newsletter I reasoned why you should hire a professional photographer. This time I have decided to give some advice on to improve your summer photos.
Tip # 1: One of my greatest " cringe moment" is when I look at people taking photos with their digital cameras and stare at their LCD after each shot. "PEOPLE" you are missing the moments! Look at your photos later on the computer; trust your instincts, if you can't help yourself put black tape over your LCD on your camera to avoid temptation.
Tip #2: Now that you are no longer looking at your LCD screen after each shot it now time to step back. Before you compose the shot be prepared. You can set your camera on automatic, all amateur do. If you are adventurous try the "P" mode. It stand for "Play", not really. There you have control over your exposure and depth of field, "Whaaaaat" you ask yourself is that all about? Well, simply put you control the darkness and lightness and the details of focus. Think about the creative choices you now have at your fingertips. Example the photo of the surfer above is called a silhouette. I intentionally underexposed the photo by two stops (for tech heads) resulting in a deeper colored sunset and dark surfers.
Tip #3: Always, always have an extra camera battery fully charged with you; it is worth the extra weight (10 oz.) and cost, if your battery dies your camera dies, plain and simple.
Always charge you batteries every night after you use your camera. I mean would you let your smart photo go uncharged for days? Lastly, if you are not planning to use your camera for weeks take the battery out of your camera to avoid nasty stuff happen to the battery; don't want to go there.
Tip #4: If you go to the sandy, gritty beach put your camera in a zip lock bag to avoid... you guessed it sand getting into your camera. If you do have to change lenses avoid doing during a windy moment otherwise expect sand to get on you camera sensor. Oh always clean your camera sensor before shoots.
OK that is all. If you have any question give me a call.
Next newsletter I will discuss more complicated things like file format and pop-up flash.
Oh boy!
