PDF Ebook Digital Photography Exposed
Many of use who grew up in earlier times have fond memories of Christmas morning when we were children. Just as we youngsters were opening our treasures Santa left; a parent would enter the room and turn on the movie camera topped with bright blinding lights. In the past it was quite an ordeal to take home movies. But, despite the blinding light, we would dutiful parade in front of the camera with our new treasures.
Now, our parents were not experts in movie camera technology and certainly none of us were trained on how to act for filmmaking. However, we managed to create some wonderful and memorable documents not only of our family, but of an era in human history. In watching those home movies over the years, the parental genius as a cinematographer became more obvious.
Thus, it is that we must encourage ourselves not to wait until we can afford the best equipment or have the best talent to capture. The path to better equipment and more experienced talent is found as we capture the moment and the stars before us today.
Now, that you have overcome the first objection to documenting your memories via photographs and video, you may find yourself waiting for that perfect event or moment. Are you one of those people that leave the camera equipment in the bag until that perfect moment arrives?
If so, you need to understand cardinal Rule #2 of documenting history. Those who have their cameras out, loaded and busy capturing imperfect moments will be the ones that have camera in hand when the perfect moment arrives.
Experience shows it is not the subject that required hours of preparation to photograph that shines. It is the inspired moment that came and went much too quickly that is the most enduring over time. When a photographer is prepared and observant, they will naturally need expend only a little effort to let the shutter capture a special moment and thereby bring them great esteem, recognition and years of joyful reminiscence.
