be mindful of your gear and how much space it takes up. Be careful when you have a big lens. Use caution with a big camera bag.Be considerate while using a tripod.
Keep your other eye open and be aware of your surroundings.
Make friends with people around you. They might keep an eye out for you too.
Apologize if you make any mistakes.
let others know-politely- of their mistakes.
2. My favorite tip was the one that said to make friends with people around you.
a. I think this is the best suggestion because most people not think to do this. A lot of people just stay to themselves. or maybe thats just me. haha but i think this is definitely something that people should consider.
b. Some adults at the football games are really rude when it comes to standing in front of you.
c. Since there is pretty much always enough space, I usually just move to the side. if there hadn't been that much space, I would politely ask them if maybe I could kneel in front of them since I'm a smaller person.

1. Keep in mind that it is the bride and grooms day. They hired a photographer for a reason and they most likely had to pay quite a bit for it. As a professional, explain that you want to get your shot, and then you will let them get theirs. know the rules of the church.
2. Of course this is from the perspective of a guest. But lets think about this from the professional photographers eyes.
a. I would be polite and suggest taking turns getting shots.
b. If you remain polite and make sure to take turns, there isn't much you can do about rude people. You just have to help them understand that you were hired for a reason, and they can have their turn after.
c. Set the "rules" from the very beginning so that everyone has a clear understanding.
d. You could ask members of the wedding party or the wedding planner since it is in their best interests for the bride and groom to be happy. They would most likely be willing to help.

1. Blame yourself not the equipment. Be polite in your constructive criticism. Make sure to apologize if you hit someone and move on once youve got your good shots. Make sure your friends and family dont take advantage of you.
a. I think the fact that people dont apologize for doing something or they just stand right in your way the whole time even when they arent taking pictures.
b. People photobombing your picture trying to be funny when you are trying to be serious.
c. I would ask them to consider how busy my life is and that if they want me to take pictures of something that would take a lot of time and commitment when i could have booked another shoot with someone willing to pay. Working for free when it is only for like less than an hour is okay, but if they want prints, then they can pay for those. Otherwise i would politely ask them to consider maybe giving a little something in return.

1.Choose a light lens. Streamline your camera. You want to be nimble with your camera. Bring other options and leave them in the car- have backup gear. Dress for the weather and the activity. Be open and polite. Use common courtesy and manners. Be mindful of other photographers. Share cool angles and perspectives. Share action going on that someone might have missed. Don't hog the shot. Shoot in burst mode. Stand in one spot and look in every direction. Kneel and get different angles. Keep mental notes for next time. Have fun.
2.)
a. Maybe the LBJ wildflower center or the botanical gardens in the spring. .
b. There are lots of pretty flowers and theres a lot of different things to see so you wont get the same shot over and over.
c. Water! It mat get hot or dress up for the cold. Make sure to have more than one lens so a camera backpack might be a good idea.
d. I think there are benefits for both. Cities give you more action with people and can tell more stories.
