Hey You - Hello - Always have your Camera ready - TUTORIAL

Be ready... You will not have a second chance to take that photo. Whenever something makes you smile, or it is different than usual, or it catches your attention, raise your camera right away. Take your photo 'now'. If it is still there tomorrow the conditions will be different. Investigate everything and have your camera ready.

A bent stem forced part of this leaf and bloom into the pond.  Ordinarily unnoticed, or mentally discarded as imperfect.  If you have your camera ready you will not have to wonder if this is worthwhile enough to dig your camera out for.  ssP1200568e2

This lady caught my eye, her clothes were unusual for the setting, and she had a strange gait.  My camera was ready.  Unfortunately I am not good with whites.  Will someone do a tutorial on that?  ssP1200879e

This person arrived fashionably late at an outdoor concert.  I saw her bright clothing from a distance, and had my camera ready.  Worried about a recognizable face?  Use the warp or smudge tool in your editor to change facial features slightly. ssP1220299
