Picture this

"The Great Picture Hunt" and David Snider's gallery helped me understand how to take a good feature photo. From the reading, I realize that one must be patient, thorough and hardworking. Going to a site does not make it into a great feature photo. One must sit around and let their subjects become comfortable with the camera and let their guard down. This is important to get subjects as they really are. Thorough searching for a story in classifieds, cruising or networking are important because you must know where you cover. One must also be hardworking because they have to try many different angles and take many different photos over what could be several hours for just one or two photos.
