Simple Photo Tips

In the previous tip I mentioned how you need to take more than one photo of any given subject.

In addition to that, you have to learn to shoot more often. On a recent trip out with my family, I started looking for things I wouldn’t normally take photos of.  I started to feel “uncomfortable” with what I was photographing. At first, taking photos of walls, and other textures felt odd.  However, as time progressed, it felt better and when we got back to review the photos, we had some nice shots.

That doesn’t mean we didn’t delete a bunch either - but it did allow us to keep some we wouldn’t normally get.

While many people out for a day will shoot 30-40 photos, my wife and I shoot over 500 that day.  Why, we just followed the two rules given:

1. Shoot multiple shots - it saved us with our kids which are always moving
2. Shoot more things - it expands your comfort zone and gets you looking in ways you wouldn’t expect - which leads to that nice shot you would have missed.

I’ll be posting some of the photos we took the other day in an upcoming tutorial on shooting moving water.  Look for it next week.
