Shut the BEEP UP!

Emily from my school of photography. 

Want to know a simple way to improve your photography?  

Mute the volume on your camera so that when you turn it on, it does not make that annoying start up sound and won't beep every time your camera focuses.   

Silencing the beep will help you get better photos.  To get better candid shots you want to try and blend in.  Camera sounds don't help that cause.  When people hear that beep they know someone is taking a picture, so they are going to awkwardly scan the room to see who is taking their photo and there goes your "natural" moment.  
I was in a meeting recently and besides the person speaking, the only other noise was someones camera making digital shutter sounds.  Please don't be that person.  :)   

Have photographers ever been a distraction to you?  Do you need to go turn your camera beep off?  Let us know in the comments.  

Oahu Landscape Photographer | Sunrise

Here is another Oahu sunrise photo!  The original location we wanted to shoot at got rained out, so we drove home and saw this on the way.  It's currently my desktop background.  I think it's one of my favorite photos.  :)

Oahu Photography | Honolulu Cityscape at Dusk

  

It's rare that I go back to the same place to get a similar shot, even though it shouldn't be.  But after shooting Honolulu's cityscape at night, I wanted to go a bit earlier so I could the sky to be blue instead of black.  (Click here to see the original version)
