How Many Take A Camera To A Function?


Recommended Posts

Yes of course I do.....

 

How else would I get photos for my website etc?

I'm sure there are those who use stock images for their website and do not take a camera.

Of course it's always polite to confirm with the client if you can take photos during a gig but thats another thread subject.

This is just a simple how many take a camera to a function.

I do, although sometimes I forget to take a picture at the right time (typical), so only end up getting rubbish pictures!

Always mean too, but it's the one thing I seem to forget and regularly to. Still I'd rather forget my camera than any other piece of equpment (that is unless I was a photographer :rolleyes: )

My other phone is a N95 which is always in the van so I always have a half decent camera with me... I use my 6310i usually as the phone.... Lol.

I always have a camera with me, but like many others I am totally useless at capturing atmosphere, hence I use very few on my site.

Ahhh......I usually find the trick their is to use a digital camera and take hundreds of pictures at a function not just a few.......that way your more likely to capture at least a couple of photos that capture the moment well, some photos are good some photos not so good, but the more you take the higher the chances of getting a few really good photos.

Also its polite to ask the DJ who you where 'helping' if you can take photos at his gig then rather passing them off as your own! :nono:

 

I take a camera but seldom have the time to take photos, without being disrespectful how on earth do you find time to take pictures when you working? - The impression of a DJ introducing the first dance with mic in one hand and a camera in another is more cheesier then the macarena IMHO!

 

If you have someone else go out front and do it then thats better but your being paid to present music not go off taking pics for your scrapbook.

Sometimes in the pursuit of perfection one can get blinded by size.

I use a pc for music otsav.. So I announce the first dance then pop out front with my camera. its a propper D-SLR mind not a compact and take a few shots of the B&G it takes seconds to do. Then back behind desk quick edit and there up on the screen usually as the first dance ends....

 

This has proved a great success for me and has gained me lots of referals..... I then upload there pics to my web site on there own page for them to download, and invite there friends and family to do the same. This again has increased traffic to my site and landed me some enquiries....

 

Also with each extra page I publish I give it an individual google friendly title so increasing my chances of being viewed when keywords are used...

 

Its all done tastefully and I have not had a problem as yet.. Infact people have started asking me to take group shots for the album etc....

 

just as an idea I also make up slides like the one below (this is just a mock up and names ect are not correct)
