Photography 2.6

For this week, I am going to take what I have learned so far in my photography project and outline the main mistakes I have made, as well as the things you should never do while taking pictures. Some of the tips I have either read online or learned from my friends who are really good at photography.

Five Things A Photographer Should Never Do

  1. Never use the flash when taking indoor pictures- I have done this and did not realize that it is looked down upon in the photography world....oops 
  2. Never shoot into direct sunlight- Always results in blotches like these.
  3. Never cut people off at the joints- I do not usually take pictures of people but this is a big one when it comes to portraits. ex: she is cut off at the ankles
  4. Never take pictures if you are shaking really bad- A tripod is always a good idea if you struggle to hold steady.
  5. Never overthink it- Photography is fun, you don't have to try so hard to take a good picture!

The ones that we had thawed out were very beat up, they had holes from dog bites and broken bones from the transporting process.  Skinning these birds was much more difficult than I anticipated, the skin is very, very thin and I would be lying if I said I didn't cut a few holes. One of the wings was completely broken so that made the process of removing the skin off of the wings without further damage quite difficult. The first bird I started on was too beat up from dogs to work with so I decided to use the other quail we had instead, but this one does not have as nice of tail feathers, but at least both of its legs are intact. After the s...
