Photographer suggestions 3

====================



1. Practice until your equipment becomes second nature.



2. Keep your equipment in excellent working order. Do not forget

    batteries.



3. After selecting your camera and film, master them thoroughly.



4. Pack more film than you think you will need.



5. Prepare thoroughly for the assignment, you will produce stronger

    pictures because of better research.



6. On assignment, dress well, appear competent, sound confident.



7. Cover the assignment from all possible angles. Take the obvious

    picture first then look for completely different angles.



8. Be nice to your subject, you only need them happy for 1/125th of a 
second!



9. A small freezer bag of raisins will keep away hunger pains one handful at 
a time.



10. Each assignment is as important as the last. Make each one a challenge 
to

      your ability.
