HOW CAN YOU TAKE A CANDID SHOT ?


BEST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO TAKE CANDID PHOTOGRAPHY

A candid photo is of an unplanned moment. There is no posing. There is no direction from you as the photographer.
The meaning of candid photography is to capture authentic moments. It focuses on the emotionality of a moment; the feelings people experience and translate that into an image that connects with the viewer. This type of photography is often full of life and emotion, which is why it’s become so popular for portraits of all new-born photography, and even wedding photography.
In that regard, candid photography is perhaps one of the most capable forms of photography to transport the viewer to a particular instant in time. That’s what candid photography is all about.
So, there are some tips to take great candid photography:-


 1: Start with the right gear: - you can take great candid photos with just about any camera; you just need to have it with you at all times.
The key component of candid photography gear is the lens.
Long lenses (i.e., a 70-200mm Zoom like this one) enable you to hang back from the scene and let things unfold naturally
If you are three fits away with a 35mm lens trying to take candid portraits of your kids in your backyard, they won’t behave as naturally as they would if you are 10 feet away with your 70-200mm lens, in the other word the longer the lens the more space between you and your subject, and the more space there is, the more likely your subjects are to be candid with what they are doing.

2: Your observational skills are of the utmost importance: - Regarding the angle of view, try to avoid shooting everything from your eye level. There is something to be said for high- angle & low –angle candid photos because they elevate the candid nature of the image.
As with any portrait, it's important to pay attention to what's going on in the background of a candid shot.
Are their interesting elements you might want in focus? Is the background unattractive and needs to be blurred? Are there features that are distracting (i.e., tree branches) that need to be framed out of the shot?
When taking off-the-cuff photos like this, it can be difficult to account for everything going on in the scene. However, with practice, you'll learn how to notice the background elements and use them to your advantage (or eliminate them) for an improved shot
3: Keep Your Camera Close:-
Candid photography is all about seizing the moment, and having your camera stuffed in your camera bag isn't exactly the way to do that.
Instead, keep your camera out and ready to bring to your eye at a moment's notice.
Whether that means carrying it with a shoulder strap or sling strap, a wrist strap or a camera harness, just ensure that getting the shot won't be impeded by not having your camera ready to fire.
4: Suggested Camera Setting:-
Since every candid photography, the situation is different, there are no hard-and-fast rules for the ideal camera settings.



6: Put Yourself in a Position to Get a Great Shot:-
.
That is, rather than wandering around trying to spot candid moments, put yourself in a position in which candid moments come to you.
Standing at the top of the stairs at Grand Central Station, positioning yourself outside the entrance of the wedding the venue, or putting yourself in the midst of a busy street market is just a few examples of this strategy.
As street photographers will tell you, it's much easier to find a spot with lots of action and stay therewith your camera rather than walking around the entire city hoping to run into a great candid moment.

7: Take LOTS of Photos:-
If ever there were a situation primed for a "spray and pray" approach, this is it.
To capture truly authentic moments, one of the best candid photography tips you can employ is to shoot a ton of shoot a ton of shots
Put your camera in burst mode, frame up the shot, and fire away!
So in the whole segment, I discussed about candid photography and how you can take a great candid photo.
The question is, how do you prepare yourself to capture the most effective candid photos?

why online presence is important during lock-down ?

                                        IMPORTANCE OF ONLINE PRESENCE DURING LOCKDOWN With people across the globe practicing social distancing — or in some cases, on a national lockdown — traditional media channels have taken a bit of a hit. Subsequently, there has been a huge spike in people spending time online — reading the news and using social media platforms.   The team at social media tracking service, amaSocial, discusses the effects the national lockdown has had on the social media industry.  According to ComScore, the number of minutes spent by readers on news sites has increased by 46% in the same period last year. And since people can’t hang out with their friends in real life, they’re connecting virtually — on every platform possible. It’s not only Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram seeing increased traffic — Zoom and Skype user numbers have skyrocketed since the global pandemic began. What is most interesting about this perhaps, is to consider how these behavioral
