Photo Workshop Notes part 5.

Checklist

*Record or creative photograph – what is the end use going to be?
*Is the lighting OK? Is the subject moving?
*Can the photo be taken later when conditions are right?
*Is there a copyright issue? (photographing subjects where someone holds the copyright).
*Are children or people who can be identified being photographed? – Model Release Form?
*Is the subject on private property where taking photos requires a permit? Or is banned?

When going out to take specific photos always plan in advance, check access restrictions if any. Take spare batteries and SD/CF cards. If using a CSC/SLR take any additional lens that may be needed plus filters and other accessories. (Information on lenses and accessories to follow).

Always try to take a compact camera, or camera phone, with you wherever you go Just In Case!

Film cameras still have a place in photography as the resulting film can be scanned to get a digital version. Many lenses and accessories from film cameras can still be used on digital SLR’s.

Image output, processing and end use of images is being covered separately.
