Capture the mood...


One of my favorite tricks is to catch the 'unexpected shot' and to know when to expect it. If you are not the official photographer or the assistant - and your photographer is not too much of a control freak - you might be able to get it. Here's the secret...

When the last official shot is taken get ready to snap a shot or two that split second when it's all over. In this photo you can see that the shoulders have droped the hands are clapping, and a few authentic smiles & laughs are had by all.

Tip #1

Make sure your camera is set to the right setting for the situation.

Tip #2

Ensure that your flash is ready to take the shot (if needed... and in most cases you will need it).

Tip #3

If you can sneak the shot without anyone suspecting that you are about to snap a candid the results will be that much better.

Well, that's my tip of the day.
