Event Shoot #2 , 2nd six weeks

Brody's 4th Birthday!

 

Camera Etiquette

Don't hog a perfect camera shot, let others have a chance to get the same picture opportunity. Take care of your equipment and consider your spacing between them and others around you. Be aware of your surroundings. Being friendly with others can benefit you. Apologize whenever you make a mistake.
 My favorite tip: 6. Let others know – politely! – of their mistakes.
This is my favorite tip because, if you don't help them they'll never learn. You could better a person's photo just by one tip. I would politely talk with someone who isn't cooperating and ask why or simply move away for a different shot. No, i have not run into this before. 

At weddings

Etiquette at a wedding is very important and critical to shooting the best photos. Photographer lets guests have a chance at taking photos as well. Its all about the bride and groom and if you think that way, your photos will highlight them better. 

I would politely talk to the rude guest about my duty here and what i am to accomplish, no. I would warn people of my job and ask them ahead of time for their cooperation. I would talk to people before the situation gets really bad. 

Annoying things

This reading is about the annoyances photographers endure. It tells the truth underneath the annoyance. The author tells personal experiences he's had with these annoyances. 

I would be annoyed most with getting hit by other photographer's lenses or camera bags. I have encountered friends being really nosy about pictures and always want to go through them during photo shoots and bugging me about edits and when they will receive them. I would accept the job as long as i got some pay out of it, but its all about the experience and practice.

Photo walk 

Come completely prepared, bring extra camera things just in case. Dress moderately and weather concerned. Be polite with others and share tips. Use your surroundings to your benefit and take many photos at the same spot in all different angles. For a photo walk i'd like to walk around 2nd strret, 6th street, or south congress. Id like to go there because they have unique shops, architecture, and people there to shoot! Water, light equipment, good shoes and different types of lens would be needed to have a good walking day. I would prefer an urban walk.

Architecture

Tips:
1. A fish eye or wide-angle lens (and focal length) is ideal for this genre as it enables photographers to frame the entire building within its environment.
2. Reflections add an extra dimension to architectural images and allow the photographer to create a canvas on which the building can be playfully distorted.

3. Give old buildings some space.

I like this photo because, its unique and electrifying. It makes me feel energized. The use of light in this photo is great! The architecture captured by the buildings is precise and very detailed. This photo was taken during the night. The light is coming from cars and building office lights. There is enough light to capture the right vibe for this photo. I would slow my shutter speed to capture anything close to this. The photographer is above the subject. Maybe the photographer is at the top of another building looking over at the subject. You can use the rules of composition for architecture, it all depends on what you're wanting the photo to look like.

 I like this photo because of its natural light and symmetry. Its a typical picture and has beauty without major editing. The light is coming from behind him. This was shot earlier in the day, maybe before lunch. The lighting is good enough for me. The photographer is on ground level looking up at the subject. The entire subject is basically in the photo. I think this is the perfect angle because you get a clear view of the arks in detail. This photo compliments the rules of composition when it comes to the symmetry of the building captured.

I like this photo because it screams originality  and is something so unlike other architecture photos. This photo brings a smile to my face and has a light happy vibe. The light is coming from the east side of the photo. It is natural light from the sun. It was probably shot in the late afternoon. This photo could use a little more light. The photo was taken straight forward at this subject. The whole subject is present in the photo. I do not think there is an other angle that would suit the subject better. This photo also applies to the traditional rules with symmetry with the object.

I like this photo because it really highlights culture. This photo shows significant details in the carvings of the building. Its a beautiful photograph. The light is coming from the back of the photographer. This was taken most likely mid day to late afternoon. The lighting is good enough. The photo was taken on ground level but straight forward. There is a balanced composition in the photo and symmetry.
