Shock, horror!! Of course… they are going shopping, meeting friends and doing all sorts of things apart from stopping, adopting the pose you’d really like, waiting for you to compose and checking your cameras on and ready…So how do we do it?
Well in the video above you’ll see from my perspective, just how tricky it can be, and lots of the time you’ll just miss the shot, or your composition will be off and the list goes on. The truth is more failures than successes, but there are different ways to give yourself a chance of getting a shot you like, and please GET A SHOT YOU LIKE. Do’t worry about the likes you want on Facebook. Instagram or Twitter. Just do it for yourself, practice, let your skill grow and find your style. It takes time and not everyone will get it, but the pleasure should be all yours in the first instance.
So just a few different techniques…
1. The Walk. – Just how it sounds, you have your camera in hand, you walk, you look hard and then BLAM! You take a shot. The key to this is the looking of course, as well as the speed you can see the frame and how fast you can use your camera. The composition may not be perfect with this one but you’ll get the energy, movement and give the feeling to the viewer that they’re in the thick of the action.
