The rule of thumb for shooting (guns) is exhale before long shots, inhale before short shots. If that helps at all.

I took a few pictures this morning with my little fujifilm A310 (actually a fairly decent camera considering it's size and price) Click here.

Even at close range, i shoot better after i exhale...

I have to disagree with this one. Shoot after you exhale...

Me too. It's the other way around.

Also, when you're out on a photomission take a TON of pictures and choose your fav. out of the bunch instead of taking time to have the "perfect pic"

Damn man...too much information in that post.

next time you post alot of info like this, make sure you break it down into paragraphs, with proper sentence structure...otherwise ramblings like this are very hard to read.

(confused)

in my DC@Night series I took over 150 pixs to get about 20 good ones. this I spent 15 minutes just setting up the tripod/camera the way i wanted for the composition I wanted. Photography takes a lot of time to get right. i've been shooting for years, and i still have a lot to learn..

SLOW POKE!!!!













haha, just kidding..
I'm the same when I find the perfect scene.

heh. actually part of the reason was the "4th" leg of the tripod/center shaft. I needed to get the camera almost at ground level, and the center shaft was in the way. I have a Manfrotto, and the legs themselves can spread out individually to an almost horizontal position, but damn, it was a pain.

next tripod will not have a centershaft. or one of the ones that doesn't go through the center. I forgot who makes it, but I saw it in one of the mags. I'll try to locate an ad so you can see what I'm taking about.

Just take out the centershaft. I did that to mine, it also shaved a couple of ounces of weight.

the head screws into the centershaft...

this is all starting to sound a little sexual

i don't mind

1. tripod is a must
2. use a diffuser: put a semi clear white film tube / lid over the flash to soften the light even a white paper will do fine..
3. stand further / stand @ different angle so flash doesnt bounce directly back to lense..

 

[peepsalot]

Another way to help disspate the flash is to use a thin sheet of paper (tissue paper works best), and hold it over the flash. This'll soften the flash by quite a bit.

I figured that one out all on my own. I'm a regular Pablo Picasso! (cabpatch)
