LIVE VIEW
Neil says…
The best shots are rarely taken from standing height, and my mantra is to get ‘low and close.’ The articulating screen of Sarah’s D500 enables images to be shot from a comfortable shooting position. It also gives a live preview of how the shot will turn out before you actually take it.
MY MENU
Neil says…
Over the course of our shoot I’d suggested Sarah tweak many settings found under different menus, such as Airplane mode and Exposure Delay. To keep them in a unified place, set them to My Menu – Select the Add Items option to add oft-used settings, so that they’re easily accessed.
EXPOSURE DELAY MODE
Neil says…
I’ve lost count of the number of remote releases I’ve mislaid over the years, and instead suggest using Exposure Delay mode if your camera has it – when the shutter button is pressed the mirror is raised but the exposure is taken a couple of seconds later, enabling any vibrations from ‘mirror slap’ to subside.
HOT SHOT #1
Tomorrow is going to be an interesting adventure with the weather,” cautioned Neil, making the final preparations the day before their Apprentice shoot. “I’m sure we will get some great images; the Dales look terrific with storm clouds moving across the peaks, but given that late afternoon is more than likely going to be lighting and rain photography, an early start would be best.”
