As a former Calgarian, and current Torontonian, I know it's important.<BR/><BR/>I try to approach something unexpectedly interesting first by grabbing it as quickly as possible camera to the eye, frame, press the shutter - then consider ev +/-, brackets, tripod, alternative framings etc. in a more contemplative manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-81251615495010246142008-01-10T21:01:00.000-07:002008-01-10T21:01:00.000-07:00It is funny to me that people imagine landscape ph...It is funny to me that people imagine landscape photography, for example, to always be a fairly static sort of thing. Not at all. Frequently stuff is changing so fast and in so many ways that one can barely keep up. Cloud shadows appear fleetingly, light comes and goes, wind drops and picks up, the surface of the water changes, and so forth. <BR/><BR/>One example...<BR/><BR/>http://www.gdanmitchell.com/images/FloatingTarnIce20050708.jpg<BR/><BR/>(Sorry for the raw html, but this comment field won't take my img tag.)<BR/><BR/><BR/>I found this floating ice on a small tarn near the Sierra crest. I spent a few minutes figuring out how to shoot it, set up, and fired one shot...

You start second guessing yourself, you decide that thing on the left isn't quite right, so you fuss and move around and end up not getting the original shot which was in fact the perfect one.<BR/><BR/>GeorgeGeorge Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745541057122821349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-14778873263925288912008-01-10T18:30:00.000-07:002008-01-10T18:30:00.000-07:00The quick grab can result in some of the best pict...The quick grab can result in some of the best pictures....You always have to on your guard!<BR/>The best piece of advice I ever got was when shooting, even in a studio setting is to never take the camera away from your face. You never know when the model, not really paying attention will produce the perfect look, it may only last for a second but if you miss it you know you will not be able to reproduce that look.<BR/><BR/>I am really enjoying your blog here George...Great stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
