digital photography

Has this ever happened to you? Your driving along only to see the perfect photo but it is nearly impossible to stop to take the photo? This happens a lot to me. What is great about digital photography is that I can try those nearly impossible shots without worrying about wasting film. Today we went to the pumpkin patch and the sunflowers were in full bloom. The best photos were to be taken from the wagon, so I snapped as many as I could. Most of my photos were shot blindly since I was also holding on to the 3-year-old sitting in my lap. A few did turn out okay.

Taking on the go photos is really a crap shoot as it’s very hard to control a lot of the process. I had just left the camera on auto since I was mainly just interested in taking photos to remember the day. Playing with the settings on the go would probably help to capture clearer photos. The ones I took today were clear but of course were were on a wagon pulled by a tractor. Our top speed was maybe 5-10 mph.

Here are some things to keep in mind when taking photos from your car:

Roll the window down
Have someone else drive
Survey the areas you want to take photos before adventuring out. You might find a few spots to safely pull off the road.

Taking photos on the go can be fun and can net you some photos that you wouldn’t have any other way.
