CAMERA ETIQUETTE

Camera Etiquette

1. of course this is common sense to be polite when you are doing photography. Don't be that one person that likes to hog all the good shots. Take as many shots as you can, stay for a considerate amount of time, then get out of the way so others can have a chance to take some photos because we are all hear to get that one picture that blows your mind. keep in mind of the size of things you took with you such as a tripod keep in mind the people around you. Also beware of your surrounding.let others know-politely- of their mistakes. 
2. fav tip: the tip that said to make friends around you and how it would help you in a situation 
     a. I think this is the best tip because most people would not think of this as a helpful tip.
     b. Some adults at the football games are really rude when it comes to standing in front of you its like they don't even see you like what!!
     c. Since there is pretty much always enough space, I usually just move to the side. if there wasn't wed have a problem! jk
 


1. Keep in mind that it is the bride and grooms day. They hired a photographer for a reason and they most likely had to pay quite a bit for it. As a professional, explain that you want to get your shot, and then you will let them get theirs. know the rules of the church. 
2.  this is from the perspective of a guest. But you may want to think about this from the professional photographers eyes.
     a. I would be nice and suggest taking turns about getting shots that we want.
     b. If you remain nice and make sure to take turns, there isn't much you can do about rude people.
     c. Set the "rules" from the very beginning so that everyone has a clear understanding and someone doesn't get butt hurt.   


 
1. make sure you Blame yourself not the equipment that they happen to be using . Be polite in your constructive criticism. Make sure to apologize if you hit someone and move on once youve got your good shots. Make sure your friends and family dont take advantage of you in that way that you are the one with camera. 
     a. I think the fact that people dont apologize for doing something or they just stand right in your way the whole time even when they arent taking pictures. 
     b. People photobombing your picture trying to be funny when you are trying to be serious ask them nicely to not do this is. if they have a problem with that then simply explain to them that this is a serious job you are being paid for.
     c. I would ask them to consider how busy my life is and that if they want me to take pictures of something that would take a lot of time and commitment when i could have booked another shoot with someone willing to pay. Working for free when it is only for like less than an hour is okay, but if there asking for me to print then id ask for some money.

1.Choose a light lens. Bring other options and leave them in the car- have backup gear. Dress for the weather and the activity. Be open and polite. Use common courtesy and manners. Be mindful of other photographers. Shoot in burst mode. Stand in one spot and look in every direction. Kneel and get different angles. And most importunately have FUNN!!

2.)

    a. Maybe the LBJ wildflower center or somewhere where there are lots of tall trees . 

    b. they are a number of different shots you could get there and some macro wide angle and many more. 

    c.it would proobly be in your best intrest to bring water i know i do when i go shoot with someone outside. It mat get hot or dress up for the cold. Make sure to have more than one lens so a camera backpack might be a good idea because you may never know

    d. I think there are benefits for both. Cities give you more action and osmetimes that can be a good thing.
