Plans For Steam Engine
Beginners Photography – If Your Planning Is Perfect, So Are Your Photos!
Digital photography allows you to take hundreds of images, and then review them later to spot the one or two really great shots (hopefully) you may want to keep. After all, it costs nothing extra, so why not keep pressing the shutter and hoping for the best? Well, this approach can make the modern photographer lazy. Despite all the photos you take, this attitude does not actually give you the best chance of capturing a memorable shot. Less really can be more, if you plan ahead. This beginner’s photography article explains how.
So let’s say you are having a day out at a local event, such as a craft fair, or Steam Engine rally, for example. Many photographers would simply turn up on the day, have a casual walk around, and as they spot something they find interesting, take a few pictures and move on. In most cases, this approach will produce some acceptable shots, but so much more could result from just a little extra effort. Here’s how.
Two or three days before the event, do some research. In most cases, the event will have a website with details of what will be there on the day. Look at this and see if there is a timetable of events. For instance, there could be a falconry display at 1pm. There is no doubt, to most keen photographers, the opportunity to capture a beautiful bird in prey in flight would be a mouth watering opportunity. But without checking this beforehand, you could turn up, and find out you had just missed it. This really is a common sense beginner’s photography tip.
Even after checking the website, there will be other things going on that you will only see by being on location. My advice would be to take a walk around the grounds when you first arrive, and note (mentally or even better, in a small notepad) those areas of interest that you spot. Take some shots shots as you walk round, but after you have been round once, stop and take stock.
Now it’s time to look back at your notes, and the record of any images you took, and reflect on what are those places, or subjects, that you came across that really have the potential to make a great photo. What are the unusual angles you could try to make those pictures more memorable? Then revisit those areas, and take a second set of shots, which you will undoubtedly find were stronger than the previous attempts.
Talk to exhibitors at the event. You may find out there is a parade of Steam Engines at the end of the day. Without being aware of this you may have gone home and missed a really good photographic opportunity. The exhibitors would probably be able to tell you the exact route the parade will take, so you can then ensure you are in the prime location to take the best pictures before it starts.
In summary, planning is the essence of any good photography shoot, or assignment. It is far too easy to just grab your camera, turn up at your location, take a number of shots, sit down at the computer later and pick few decent images. Ultimately you may be disappointed with the number of good shots in ratio to the amount taken. But take time for planning, and a beginner’s photography assignment can result in many memorable images, developing an important habit that will become second nature.
