My celebrant’s an elephant,
Said the spider to the fly,
He’s marrying us tomorrow
And I’m really not sure why

With this ring, I thee wed.
Would you like a piece of bread
For the soup that’s on your head?
And with that, our vows are said

It’s a very deep hole, I think you’re going to need a longer pole

Drive-by shooting is a terrible way to be a photographer. For a start, it’s really hard to get the tripod level. And then you need to make sure that the bowl of fruit is in the right place and the models are properly posed so that when you fly past at 60mph you’ve got a good chance of getting a decent shot. Even then, it’s probably going to be a little bit blurred.

Personally, I would recommend photography from a standing start. Let everyone else move if they want to, and the photographer could try and keep up. Generally, if you all stay in the same place it’s more likely that the picture will come out the way that you wanted.

Framing is crucial. Always think inside the box.

Shooting From The Hip

Groovy cats take cool pics.

Lazy focus, loose apertures, and relaxed shuttering.

Some of the world’s most well-known and revered photographs were taken by hep cats on a groovy trip man. Like the one of the moon with the clouds and the airplane. Or that one with the waves on the sand, and the little crab things in the shallows.

If I was going to take a photograph, I’d take one of that thing I’m thinking in my head right now. It’s like a waterfall over a tall cliff, with a bridge across the top, and there’s a car or a person on the bridge, sort of waving at me. Or perhaps they’re falling and I’m supposed to catch them in a net. But I’m a photographer, I don’t have a net. So maybe they’ll fall and I’ll get the picture of them in the air with the waterfall and the bridge behind them. And they’ll be waving at me and it will be far out man.

I should buy a camera.
