Casual Shoot
1. In large places there are going to be multiple people trying to get their shot, so you need to be thoughtful of others and not take up too much space or take too long getting your photos. You should make friends with the people around you because that makes the experience more pleasant for everyone and they can give you tips and tricks to help make your photography better or just critique the photos you have taken. If you make a mistake apologize, but don't be afraid to point out other peoples mistakes as well.
2. Make friends with the people around you.
a. This is something I already apply in many other places like when I am waiting somewhere in a large crowd. When you are friendly to the people around you they tend to be more courteous to you as well and it can make the experience much more pleasant.
b. If a person isn't being cooperative then you should still try to be polite and just ask them to move, but phrase it so you can be assertive in the problem.
c. I have not run into this problem before but if I ever did I would ask the person to move and if they don't just try to find a different place to shoot from.
Weddings
1. During weddings all the guests want to capture this day as much as the groom and bride, but the photographer that the groom and bride hired should have first dibs on the best places to shoot the photos. They need to remember that this is the bride and groom's day, not theirs and they should let the paid photographer do as much as he can to make them happy. The photographer needs to make the experience pleasant for everyone and maybe take some photos himself then have the bride and groom do the action again for all the guests.
2.
a. If I was hired to shoot a wedding and there was a rude guest I would ask politely for them to take a step back and then speak to the bride and groom about that person.
b. If that person was an important person then I would remind them that this is the bride and grooms day and that I am just trying my best to get the best pictures I can to make them happy.
c. I would maybe plan out some photos with the bride and groom that they want and take them without out the crowd so we can get the best pictures possible.
d. While the event is going on to keep issues from happening I would get in the front to take the picture then ask the bride and groom to do the action again so the guests can get a picture.
Annoying Things That Happen to Professionals
1. There are many things that photographers find annoying from parts of the camera to the actual photographers. Its ok to be confident about what you are doing, but you shouldn't act arrogant because then people don't like to be around you at events. Sometimes the lenses don't work how they say they will or the people using them are not considerate enough to recognize that there are people around them trying to get shots too and use huge lenses without care.
2.
a. I think something that would annoy me the most would be the arrogant photographers because they aren't trying to help you get better by pointing out the flaws in the pictures and they won't see any problems in their own pictures.
b. When I am out taking pictures what is really annoying for me is that a lot don't have any common courtesy and will pay no mind if I (or anyone really) am trying to get a specific shot.
c. If a family member asked me to shoot something the would take a lot of time I would probably do it for free but if it was just a friend that asked me I would ask to be paid because I have to spend that much more time editing the pictures.
Photo Walk
1. On a camera walk you shouldn't bring too many parts for your camera. You want it to be light and easy to carry for long amounts of time. You will be walking for a long time so you need to dress appropriately for the weather and still be comfortable. Even though it is a walk you can pause for a few minutes to get the picture you want, you don't have to walk the entire time. Be friendly with the other people. It is more fun if you make friends and you share the shots you found especially cool and they will share theirs with you as well.
2.
a. I would like to go on a photo walk downtown.
b. I love shooting architecture and cityscapes and downtown is a really good place for both of those things
c. You would need good shoes for walking and comfortable clothing. you don't want to be carrying too much with you so pockets that you can store thing for your camera stuff in would be great.
d. I would prefer an urban walk because I love shooting urban areas because I think they're really interesting and I like what you can do with them composition wise
