Tips before You Leave the Shot
Â
Tilting Market
Sometimes you close in on a shot and you thought there was something there, but the images just don’t read like a successful shot. With a little practice there are one or two tips to getting the best result when you have one location trip and and a few minutes with each payoff shot.
In the long run five seconds behind the shutter on location can mean up to four full resolution image captures. Split images that reflect ten to twelve megapixels can bring fourfold market returns if the raw stock can be made to approach microstock market preferences. Turning the viewfinder at an angle can improve the shot or introduce variable presentatations of a limited appeal subject.
Once you know the ways you can lighten and apply layers to the final images in the photo editing phase, you can look for raw image stock that will suit your needs in the micropayment market. In the viewfinder pulling a sharper focus and flipping lens settings might grab some experimental finishes that can be cropped or manipulated to look dramatic and punchy.
It is also the nature of many photo subjects that varying angles of light will reflect differently in oblique angles. This can only be discovered after some captures of images have been examined in depth. The variable levels of depth and lens focus can make a lot of difference. Move the camera to the other side of the shot. Move the camera to the other side of the light.
By manipulating the camera in all the ways you can, you are utilizing one of the ultimate benefits of using a digital camera.
The main difference between old film cameras and digital cameras is the absence of film. Time was, Polaroids required gummy bits of film with timed rip-off reveals of old school snapshots. These supplies were temperature sensitive and expensive. By taking as many potentially lucrative shots as possible, the exhaustive capacity of digital media storage in the camera allows maximum choice at the editing and upload stage.
In the upload stage after a photographic foray, a click slideshow run-through can click and delete extremely bad, poorly composed and out of focus shots. If the images appeal in a medium thumbnail size, about one quarter the size of your monitor, select them for later review. Make a separate folder for shots where you think a crop or selection can frame up a great shot.
Chopping the shot when photo editing can happen most efficiently by mousing over the screen with the framing tool to see that potential result as a lone image. Sometimes an angle or a sharp frame can deliver a special theme message with the image the microstock purchaser wants.
