Thinking about My Camera and Tripod
My camera is the Nikon D80.
It is a digital SLR which means I can be more creative in the images I take a lot of the time.
My TRIPOD
is from the brand Manfrotto, MKC3-HO1.
It is made of aluminium and has versatile features, for example, an ergonomic handle.
This tripod allows for experimenting with all different kinds of angles. This is a feature that isn't always needed, but I felt for this situation it would be beneficial.
SETTING UP MY CAMERA
When setting up my camera, I realised I would have to change it as the shoot went on. When my model was break dancing I knew I'd need a faster shutter speed. However, when he was posing for the camera, and that was the focus. I would want to focus more on capturing detail in him and blurring out the background.
SETTING UP MY CAMERA
So in preparation for this, I practiced changing settings and shutter speed etc so when I was on location it would be a quick change.
This would prevent standing around waiting for me.
