Any holiday is fleeting. Only photographs and videos will remind of him for decades. Both must be removed with high quality the first time. After all, there will be no duplicates.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not neglect photography, even if there is video recording during the holiday. There is usually one video camera, and it shoots only from one angle. And its resolution is several times lower than that of a camera.
Step 2
If the camcorder can be left on on a tripod and moved away, then with the camera you will have to walk around the hall and shoot from different angles. Therefore, no matter how much the photographer wants to take part in the joint use of alcoholic beverages at the holiday, this temptation must be resisted. Be sober throughout the event.
Step 3
Get an external flash. Hold it to the side of the camera when shooting. This avoids unnatural shadows and also saves time by eliminating the tedious process of removing red-eye from most images.
Step 4
Remember the rule: the best shot is the one that was taken unexpectedly for the people being shot. They will look significantly more natural if they do not specifically pose. Therefore, when photographing the holidays, in contrast to their video filming, a bulky tripod is inappropriate. Manipulating him attracts attention. Use a camera with an Image Stabilizer to get clear photos taken without a tripod.
Step 5
It will be very disappointing if photography cannot be continued only due to the depletion of the power supply. Fully charge multiple battery packs ahead of time. This must be done immediately before the event, and not a few days before it - the batteries have the property of self-discharge. Having changed during the shooting one set for another, put the previous one to charge again.
Step 6
Once you find a good scene in the video, take a freeze frame and turn it into a photograph. Modern computer technology makes it easy to cope with this task. The image quality will be comparatively low.
Step 7
Before using in any way photographs depicting people, read the provisions of Article 152.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
