shooting the photographer by summerfield

shooting the photographer

another shot at the allen gardens. at the entrance to the tropical garden, these three fellows were practicing their photography. one acted as the model, while the other two would confer on their settings. i was watching them as i waited for them to finish so i could go through. they certainly took their time and i thought i'd take a few shots of them, especially when the guy at the back started to shoot the guy shooting the model. just three fellows having fun.

i was at the gardens for about an hour and a half. when i first started this photography thing, it was easy for me to take more than 300 shots in that length of time. now i am more conscious of composition and the camera's setting so i take my time. 125 is all i have and about 80% are usable. i won't necessarily be posting them, of course not.

for the street challenge.
Oh dear, boys and their toys. Love your narrative.

It sounds as if you had a good day and some fun.

Such a Beautiful area for photographs. You really restrained yourself with only 125 photos.

what a fun capture bringing yourself into the frame with this composition. I liked last weeks challenge on the 52 week challenge which made me really stop and think about the number of images being taken - mind you - the thought of processing them holds me back now. There are only so many that anyone can get through!

Why is there one hiding in the foliage?? How many of your shots do you keep Vikki??

he's not really hiding, it's just the angle where i was at. he's actually the one shooting the guy on the right, the guy in the middle just thought it was funny to take the left guy and i found it a good street shot taking a photo of all them. @30pics4jackiesdiamond

i weed out the really blurry ones, both raw and jpeg. quarterly, i delete all jpeg and retain only the raw files. i store them in an external drive and i have a back up external drive for out of town shots. in addition, i save all my SD cards, i very rarely re-use an SD card.

@summerfield Thanks Vikki. I lost all my SD cards when camera bag stolen! 🙁 Fortunately all backed up, but still sad.

Almost missed the third one. Fun shot.

I had to hunt for the third guy but it mkaes for a very unique photo to catch them all unaware

That is so funny, it does look like he is peeking out of the bushes to snap a quick shot! Love it.

Fun shot- I don't know why, but I really have fun taking photos of photographers!
