Be Prepared to be Spontaneous

Is Your Camera (or Phone) Ready?

Are you prepared to head out with your camera at any moment? Whether it’s a photoshoot or an epic trip that somehow falls in your lap, can you honestly say you’d be able to just pick up and go?

Being ready can mean many things.

Photoshoot

If it’s a photoshoot here is a list of things that assure you are always ready.

• Charged batteries: Always make sure your batteries are charged and ready to go.
• Memory cards in your camera bag: If you’re like me there seems to be a memory card hanging out in my card reader on my desk many times. Get out of that habit. Download it, put it back in your camera or bag, format and be ready.
• Camera and lenses cleaned: It’s a good habit to get into cleaning your gear when you are back from a shoot so you know it’s ready for the next one.
• Camera bag packed: Always put everything back in its place and back in your bag so you can grab and go if you need to.
