Well Sunday’s Act Fundraiser has come and gone and we had a blast with Terry and Joe from 4-Legged Babies. We met lots of nice canines and raised some good coin to benefit less fortunate dogs. We will do this again soon in the Sierra Vista Mall in ACT’s adoption center, the date to be set soon. Here are some photos from the shoot including cartoon dogs on some Dawgs (huh wonder who’s Dawgs- Terry’s!).
In the days of film professional photographers were very cognizant of what they were trying to achieve due to the cost of film and developing. They put a lot of thought and experience into every click of the shutter.
Today you can blast away until you run out of memory and see if got what you want. However, thinking like the days of film will make you a better photographer, for one thing you won’t waste time, you’ll avoid frustration and miss less photo opportunities. It is impossible to recreate the spontaneous! There is no way the average family can have a professional around all the time.
Hey I’m a professional photographer in Visalia and sure I want your business but I know every family in America has a camera and needs to take many of their own photos. So why not make them as good as they can be?
One way to get good pictures more often is to ask yourself what am I trying to acheive before you click the shutter. Secondly observe the result of each shutter click. And last memorize the situations that resulted in good snap shots and repeat them.
Professional photographers know that photographs serve many purposes. Photographs can be used to document history, crimes, accidents, property damage, injuries and scientific material. These types of photos must be all they can be from the click of the shutter. They should not be photoshopped in any manner as to distort reality and this must be kept in mind before the shoot.
Photographs can be used as art and in this situation the are no holds barred. Reality can be distorted by the way the shot was setup to major revisions in photoshop. So think before you shoot, observe the results and memorize what works, so you can delete less and enjoy more.
