ERGH This happens so often.

Walking down the street and then a wild supercar appears.

Whip up the camera takes shots.

Tree in the way.

Not going to lie. I do like sneaky ‘spotted’ shots. Though this is an example of a shot captured in Paris that has too much obstruction from the environment…But then again…could be worse.

Damn Trees.

Spotting Tips:

– Have your camera ready…Always.

– Have a trigger finger to quickly turn your camera on/off

– If you always shoot in M: The more shots you take throughout the day, the more ready you will be for a surprise – as your camera will be set to a kind of pre-set from your last shot.

–> If not, because you always shoot in M, you may be lucky enough to have a ‘sleight of finger’ – changing your aperture and shutter at incredible speeds!

– If you always shoot in Auto, P, S or A: The camera should be able to work its magic. Good luck though, it can be a bit of a mixed bag – Especially low light.

General Rule: Try to keep a high shutter speed to minimize blur and to get a clear shot…However, low shutter works well if you are a freak at panning. Something I can’t say I’m very good at.

If you end up with a tree in the way…there’s only one way to describe that feeling…Bad Luck.
