Catching The Exact Snapshot You Want

Pro photographers have known for years the magical ability to just capture a minute when they press the shutter at the right millisecond. Occasionally such moments can be planned, and often they can’t. Occasionally they are just there, and you’ve got to snap it without thought for composition or lighting or any of the other elements everyone knows are critical for quality photography.

As an example, you can plan for a photograph full of the energy of the wind when somebody or a vehicle crosses the line of sight.

Or when you know something impressive is prepared to happen, like the appearance of a baby, having a camera prepared for that first moment of life could lead to a wonderful picture. Such life moments can be caught if you’re prepared with your capability and talent and equipment.

That moment when just the right elements come together for surprising composition, is often nothing that you might have planned or set up. Recently my partner and I escaped and spent a weekend in the mountains where, one evening at dinner, we were seated on the porch of the dining room. Just as our salads were served, the sun moved from behind clouds and the brilliant metal roofs of mountain homes were illuminated across the meadow. Bright red and green and blue and grey roof colours flooded our senses as if a bucket-full of marbles had been tossed against the green and brown mountainside.

The sight was so full of vitality and virility that we could hardly talk with the vibrancy of it all.

That moment was not planned. It just occurred. Occasionally such experiences can be imagined ahead of the circumstance. As an example, you know a crop moon will be a magnificent sight, and you can make arrangements for shooting it by being in the right spot at the right time. The unpredictable can be made simply manageable with a little forethought.

You can visualize what might be, before it actually occurs. Demonstrating patience may open doors for a variety of unusually composed photos, especially if you need to attend on just the right natural light, or shade, or form or energy.
