Don't just turn up to a village fair for good photos, grab a programme beforehand, to know what time the juggling clowns appear, say, and where the performing dogs are to be found - then practice taking dog photos down at the local park beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions

When taking your expensive tripod to the beach for that time exposure or sunset shots always extend the bottom legs fully. Leave them extended until you can give them a good rinse off at a beach shower/tap or at home. Just a little sand and salt inside your tripod legs will turn collapsing it down into a long term nightmare.

When photographing dogs, get down low low low so you're looking directly in their eyes. Their eyes should nearly always be the sharpest and tell the story.
Zoe McGrath
Zoe McGrath@Zoe
When shooting Timelapse’s in changing light or transition from light to dark keep an eye on your ISO, when it starts creeping over 3200 adjust your shutter speed down a notch and you will get a smoother transition without getting too dark. Do the reverse when shooting from dark to light.
