- I have to take candids for the university yearbook and I need advice on how
- to get good shots. I will be buying a x-300mm for my EOS 650, so that should
- help in that I don't have to be in a person's face to get a nice close-up.
-
- I think that I may be overly polite for this kind of thing. Should I ask
- people before I take a shot? Tell them what it's for?
-
- Ugh....I guess that it all depends on the situation...right now I am shooting
- at 1600 so I won't need a flash indoors (some of the time). Hopefully the
- photos won't be too grainy.
-
- So all I am going on right now is: fast film, long lens.
-
- Here are 3 situations - what would you do to get a good candid shot? :
-
- 1) someone is in the library studying like a maniac (small, open cubicle)
- 2) a group of people are eating in the caf.
- and 3) your prof is lecturing.
-
- Any help would be GREATLY app'd!!
