Hardest Target

[prometheus]

Hi SNAP'ers

Want to have your tips and tricks to catch the hardest target of all -- PEOPLE --
I'm not referring to "Model" shoot, but their dailly nature expression, a point and shoot action. They're such a resisting object sometimes, and to capture the right momentum is a matter of seconds.
Thats why i need to learn from all SNAP'ers Master (experience).

1. plan out what kind of scene u ultimately want

2. decide on what focal length u need. tie in with proximity considerations

3. if u use film, try kodak tcn400 b/w film. good, cheap, low fuss.

4.bring 1 litre of water, wear good shoes, prepared to walk around a lot

5 memorise some "standard" scenes to help u kick-start with the vision. its a good start to try to "spot" such standard scenes. then progress to creatign your own scenes

6. improve your handholdign technique:
aim for these slowest possible speeds for 1SO400:
28mm - 1/4 second
50mm - 1/15 second
200mm - 1/60 second
400mm - 1/125 second

7. dont give up too soon. your first many many rolls will turn out 2b more or less rubbish remember 2 have fun!
