Take the Time

I wanted today to be a little greedy on this post. I have been doing a lot of thinking when it comes to photography. I have been thinking if I write about it I have maybe I will get off my butt and do something about. I have been thinking that I need to get back to basics while shooting. On most professional cameras have 4 modes to shoot on. There is M- manual, A-aperture priority, S-shutter speed, and P-program mode this is also known as “professional mode” because it has the camera do all the thinking for you. I shoot on P for most of the time when I am out on missions because I have don’t have the time to be messing with all the settings. But that has taken a lot of the focus off the art of what I am shooting just shoot it.
There have been some missions lately that I have has some extra time and have taking some shots that I truly compose. Most of these have been kids posing for the camera. But what I want is to take the time around here and really look at what I am photographing and set the camera to what it needs not because it tells me to but because I know what I need to do to get the shot that. Well I am going to keep this one short. I will have a longer one tomorrow.

This image is one of the images that I that I took time to shoot. I saw this lady waking in the distance. I loved the contrast of her dress to the flat color of the country. I took series of shots of her walking but i finally got this when she turned to the person behind her. Bam that was the image. I could go into the nitty gritty but I think that it talks for its self. Please tell me what you think.

Thanks
More To Come....
