In 'UP' we all have to understand that the picture is all that matters. Who cares if you are stuck in the middle of no where with no phone and a stomach ache, I took that picture and I'm darn proud of it. In fact, it was TRESPASSING!... Well, sort of, I mean there is a trespassing sign... I didn't actually go on the other side of it, but still, I'm a rebal damn it! Haha. Well as far as it goes, I was hoping to get a picture of the nice fellow that pulled over to save us. The nameless tow truck man will go down in history for saving my life from the arctic tundra. So today's lesson will be dedicated to him!
We are going to go into the special little details of the camera for this lesson. Short and sweet, but things you need to remember if you are going to take 'UP' in the dark, a common place occurrence in this field and a necessary one. Now I know we are not all techno smartie pants so we'll use dumb people terms so I can understand ^.^
BAM!
First of all, you want to find a well lit place. Street lamps and all that junk, because, well no matter how important you think your photo is, this it not the 'Midnight Meat Train.' No reason to follow mass murders into meat packing plants where you get slain trying to get that one perfect shot. We all want to go home to our families, so remember. WELL LIT PLEASE! On top of that. You will want to lengthen the time that your camera absorbs light so that you capture all the little details that it usually misses. So... if you have any knowledge of your camera, you want to go to the dial spot, TV, and slow that puppy down. And finally! Get something sturdy to set the camera on because if I know the rest of you like I know me. Shaky hand syndrome runs in the human race. We are a shaky lot.
Alright guys? So lets try this new bit out tomorrow night. Super Bunny and I will be heading into Elgin,IL, a place unlike my ghetto-less town, to try and get some prime urban photographs. Wish me Luck!
