Awesome photos begin by Pre Visualising, asking “How Do I Want This To Look?” then work back to the settings
We don’t ‘take’ photos. We make them. This short course is about vital photographer skills and functions which live outside the camera. How to pre-visualise how you want your photo to look, then figure out what You need to do to make it happen.
Is the light perfect now, or do you need to wait for a break in the clouds, or move to the shade, or shoot by a window? Where do you need to stand for the best angle? Which lens to choose for the look you want. These are things You have to think about and take action with to capture vibrant, exciting, interesting images.
Knowing what you want to achieve makes choosing settings easy. For example, when you know you want to blur movement to add life to the flow of a river it indicates what kind of shutter speed to use. If you want to capture an up close and personal feeling, you’ll know what kind of lens to use.
