Description
"Why are you taking pictures of seagulls?" came a voice from behind me. A set of waves was looming out the back, a surfer took off and my rapid fire motor drive captured a dozen images as the surfer pulled off a maneuver and kicked off the wave. Total time, about five and a half seconds. The owner of the voice said "Oh! Sorry!" There was no one lined up to take any of the rest of the waves in the set. Time for a bit of PR with the `voice`! Two hours later, I`m still on the beach and the above situation has repeated many times, the camera battery is reading LOW and the Flash Card is almost full of images, so I pack up and head for the studio.
Now the work really begins. Download the Flash Card into the computer. Sort the images into who`s who separate folders. Pick out the best shots for sending to various publications/websites etc. Notify the surfers that they`ve got new pictures for their portfolios or for their sponsors to browse through. Make a backup disk of the whole photo shoot (never trust the computer hard drive as the only place to store any digital file!). Then put the kettle on. Job done, and that was just a random photo shoot.
