Photo Tips #1 - Creativity - F.A.R.T.'ing never felt so good!
TO fart or not to fart... That is the question!
So what is it - to fart? FART, is an acronym, a very creative one at that too. When I heard of farting in photography, I was like, "what the heck!"
- 'F' for the word feel
- 'A' for ask
- 'R' for refine
- 'T' for take
I have Ken Rockwell to thank for teaching me how to fart in style!
He taught me what I needed to know about farting and I suggest you take a look at his methods of farting as well lol. After reading his article, I hope you will better understand how important it is to fart in style.
For the most part though, I pretend that I can see through only one eye. Why? Because, your camera has only a single sensor to capture everything so I pretend that I have the same eye. Yes, photographers are a wacky bunch, anyways that doesn't mean that you walk around with an eye patch over your eye. LOL that would be stupid. Keep both eyes open, look around for a good spot. Then when you find the place you want to shoot, put the camera to your eye and FART.
Remember to review the first few pictures to make sure that the settings are just the way you want your photographs to be.
A few checks that to I do before the shoot are:
- Is the subject in the shade (the shade makes for even lighting).
- Is the f-stop/iso the amount I want it to be.
- Has the proper white balance been selected.
- Do I have the right metering mode selected.
- Compose the shot.
After that it's pretty much smooth sailing till the post production.
