It’s Digital!!!
I had a little experience yesterday that made me remember that not everyone has the same cavalier attitude about snapping about on a camera that I have.
After church everyone was asked to go out onto the lawn and pose for a congregation photo. Everyone scrunched together and waited for the person who owned the camera to make sure he could see everyone in his viewfinder. There was a little drama about getting everyone in but after that passed, the camera was handed to someone who was not in our ward (congregation) to actually take the picture.
He stood up there and took one picture.
Yes, I said ONE.
Then he looked out from behind the camera and asked the owner if he should take another one.
So he then proceeded to take ONE more. Then he looked up again and asked if he should take a one more.
I shouted from the throng, “It’s digital, take a bunch!” A few laughs were emitted around me.
He proceeded to take ONE more.
A total of three shots were taken for a giant group of people.
My mind was blown! I couldn’t believe that anyone would ever consider taking so few pictures. But then I was brought back to reality. My attitude toward taking photos must be atypical from the average person’s attitude. I am whole heartedly of the belief that taking more photos is much better than not taking enough. I push that shutter release button with no fear.
So I want to share my experience with you and remind you to push that shutter release button with out fear. You are not shooting on film so don’t be afraid to fire off 10 shots in a row. Then you can choose the nice ones and delete the rest.
Push that button. Over and over and over!
