Some of the best photo's you'll ever see toss photography rules out the window. So what to do? go beyond, stretch those rules. You'll never know what great shot you may come up with!
The rule of thirds: Set the horizon dead center, not one third up from the landscapes bottom or top. Symmetrical subjects, like mountains reflected in a lake are best candidates for such lawbreaking. You've been taught to shoot at the lowest ISO possible for the light your shooting in, to produce crisp images. But while cranking up your ISO can add a raw, gritty appearance to your photograph. maybe adding something much more to your shot! And if it's the difference between getting a shot, or not getting a shot. I will always go for the shot! Shooting in direct sunlight. You might love noonday effects everyone warms you about; flare, desaturated colors, erosion of sharpness. So what to do, go for it! Till next time, get out there enjoy the thrill and fun of shooting! Happy Clicking Lance We all know there are certain rules your should follow when doing photography. We also know the most important part of any shoot is to get the shot. And in wildlife photography this is so very true, as of course you're not dealing with models or landscapes which ton a certain degree you can work around and try to get that perfect shot. With animals you're working around they everyday lives, and they are going to do what they want.
Why do I bring this up you ask? Well, about two weeks ago while shooting at the Zoo with my friend/fellow photographer Scott Engel, we noticed quite a few folks enjoying the zoo, but also taking lots of photo's, which we both thought was great! But, there was this one group of ladies that seemed very obsessed with camera settings and missing lots of brief moments of great photo opportunities. So while I applaud they trying to learn. I think that more important to do on the fly, and more importantly learn about the animals you're trying to photograph, learn there moods and needs, that will serve you much better in your endeavors. Till next time! Happy Clicking Lance This weeks title, while being the name of the last movie made by the well known actor Peter Sellers, actually focuses on a very important aspect of photography. Namely putting in your time on your subject. This is important in any venue of photography, but I believe most important in wildlife photography. Lets face it, the animals are going to go about there normal day. And as that's the way we wish to capture them its important we not impact them while trying to get the shot.
The shots I posted here were only possible because I was willing to stay put and wait for them to give me the gift of that special shot, that may happen in 10 minutes after getting there, or 8 hours into a day. So just to recap, if you give of your time, many times you will be rewarded with that great capture. Till next time. Happy Clicking Lance You can check out my work at www.imagesbylemke.org |
