Do you spend longer time taking a photo?

Hello, youless. I hardly ever take pictures of anything. However, when I do, I just wait for the people to get in their position and press the flash button. Then the picture is already taken. If I'm not taking picture of anybody, then I'm also quick. This doesn't mean I make good shots. In fact, I make some really awful shots, but I lack practice. Now, I agree with what you have said. You gotta know how to take the best shot in a short time, because some things will not wait for you to get ready at all, isn't it like that? Respectfully, Munhozmib.

No, I take a very little time to shoot a picture.

I am not a patient person! That is one of my weaknesses my friend which I truly recognize and standing around fiddling with knobs, distance, zooms or getting the best frame is not me! I could never be a photographer! I just take the shot and generally hope for the best, 9/10 times I am happy with the shot I have taken but I am no expert, as long as I have captured the scene or photo I wanted that is good enough for me! Easier when things are still and don't move!

Good morning, youless. I don't take a long time before I take a photo as my digital camera is not a professional one. It is a very convenient one to have photos taken. You are right that the best policy is to capture the best shot in a short time so long as you think that it is the most wonderful moment in a very natural state. Have a good day, youless.

When taking photos, I prefer the candid shots that are not really rehearsed. Those are better for me.

hehehehehe no! if my hubbby doing it by accident mean he will make photo if we dont know it.coz most best shots is in stolen shots.

[i]Hi youless, Not at all, I will take the shot right away but when I am trying to steal any picture, I will wait a few seconds to get the best shot![/i]

ha ha ha ha ha... I know what you mean! Especially when you are trying to capture a moment with the child who is in a very joyous mood! They rarely have the patience to wait for you to finish with your composition of the settings for a particular shot. At times like that, it is best to leave the settings at AUTO to let the camera do the job. Think of it this way, you paid good money for the technology in your camera. Trust that it can do the job correctly. Worse come to worst, use photoshop to edit the photo afterwards. Cos when you miss the golden shot, your child is not likely going to give you a repeat of that moment you are trying to capture!

When I'm shooting, I try to take as many photos as possible. So I'm constantly shooting. I don't spend a lot of time setting up the shot. I may make some adjustments here and there if it isn't working out, but I spend most of my time shooting. I don't want to miss a great shot, ya know?

No i dont, I just capture and capture picture, Even though i like to take picture always, i dont want to make myself stress up by having a setting before capturing. I dont think that it is nessesary for me , I guess to have a good digital camera to make a good shot.

Hey youless,just sew your post today``I like to take photo wherever I'm using my smart SONY DC.Thus,you could image that I'm not the one who spend longer time to adjust the setting or sth like that,I like to capture the beautiful and best second.If for the case of taking photoes of children,I would like to say the best pictures will come from the second other than make a post in still coz they actually do not know very sure what you're doing~lol``hehe~`what do you think?

I think I really dont take time but when I get the right adjustment then I take the snap and sometimes my photos dont come well but then I guess very rarely It happens and I am not all that freak in taking snaps often. Regards

Yesterday I spend 45 minutes setting up a table-top and making a series of exposures; shooting kids I set up before I leave the house and I can get through 300 shots in an hour; same with sports. Landscapes, macros, dragonflies in flight, birds on the wing: the way you shoot is at least in aspect a function of what you are photographing, but also in your familiarity with your equipment and your subject, and with the reason you are taking the picture...you may well want to spend a little more time and effort shooting for a client than for you scrapbook, or for a picture that will never be seen again once you have had a look at your monitor.

i don't like taking photos but i tried sometime & i was good at having quick shots with no flaws of the image yayyy

The last time we put much effort into posing for a picture was a family shot that my sister set up, and then we just stood there for about 10 seconds, while my camcorder captured it, since no one knew how to use the auto-timers on the other cameras. I captured the image from the video and it came out well. I use my video camera for everything and capture still shots later. This way I don't have to take time that I may not have, when the photo is being created, I can just edit it out of the video after.

yeah,i think so . for me, i do not like to take photo,and sometimes if there is a chance to do ,i will take it at a shot time. the nature is the best.
