Making The Most Of Every Shot

Pro photographers have known for years the spellbinding capability to just capture a moment when they press the shutter at the right millisecond. Occasionally such moments can be planned, and often they cannot. Occasionally they are just there, and you’ve got to snap it without thought for composition or lighting or any of the other elements we all know are critical for quality photography.

As an example, you can plan for a photograph full of the energy of the wind when somebody or a vehicle crosses the line of sight.

Or when you know something galvanizing is ready to occur, like the arrival of a baby, having a camera prepared for that first moment of life could lead to an amazing picture. Such life moments can be caught if you are prepared with your ability and talent and equipment.

That moment when just the right elements come together for surprising composition, is usually nothing that you could have planned or set up. Latterly my partner and I escaped and spent a weekend in the mountains where, one evening at dinner, we were seated on the veranda of the dining room. Just as our salads were served, the sun moved from behind clouds and the brilliant metal roofs of mountain houses were illuminated across the meadow. Bright red and green and blue and grey roof colors flooded our senses as if a bucket-full of marbles had been tossed against the green and brown mountainside.

The sight was so full of energy and potency that we could barely talk with the vibrancy of it all.

That moment was not planned. It just occurred. Often such experiences can be imagined before the circumstance. As an example, you know a crop moon will be an impressive sight, and you can make preparations for shooting it by being in the right spot at the right time. The unpredictable can be made simply manageable with a little forethought.

You can visualize what may be, before it actually occurs. Demonstrating patience may open doors for a variety of abnormally composed stills, especially if you want to attend on just the right natural light, or shade, or form or energy.
