It's Photo Walk Satuday
August 23, 2008 09:05 AM Filed in: Photo Walk | Photography
I’m going to Hollywood today. It’s time for Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. The hard part for most people is preparation. The big question: What gear should I bring? It never seems like you have the right stuff.
There will be a lot of walking so I would recommend traveling light using one camera body with your favorite couple of lenses.
Standby, I need to go charge my camera batteries and clear my digital memory cards.
It’s important to start slow, don’t put the pedal-to-the-metal on your shutter button early, you’re going to be out there for two hours, relax and have a good time. Although, if you have unlimited cards and hard drive space go for it. A little reserve and editing as you shoot does make it easier when you get back home and work through the edit process. Remember you’re shooting still photos not movies at 29 frames a second.
Choosing your lens your lens options ca
n be tough. Lenses equal weight. You probably don’t need any super telephotos at an event like this. A nice wide angle and moderate telephoto should be fine. Zoom lenses are great and convient but usually are slow meaning they don’t let in a lot of light so they can be tough to use in the shade or low light.
A combination of a versatile zoom and a fast 50 f1.4 might be the way to go. Don’t forget to charge your camera batteries and bring enough clear digital flash memory cards.
I may bring along my Lensbaby 2.0 which brings one area of your photo into sharp focus, surrounded by increasing blur. It brings shame to the f 1.4 fast lenses plus it’s very small and light. This lens with it bending-and-tilting takes the background way out of focus.
Just another way to give your photos a creative look.
Have a nice weekend. Check back for Hollywood and Zoo photos soon.
