For an amateur photographer (who is great with a modern-day Phone), I am extremely proud of myself for some of the great images I take.
From great selfies, to action shots, to those rare moments; I pride myself on being able to identify quick shots and take them.
A great photo which I am proud of was taken just before I spoke at the Coogee Chamber of Commerce. I was outside on the beach and I noticed a massive storm front coming towards the shore. It was light turning to dark and there were rare extraordinary colours.
It was rare, I don’t think I have seen anything like it. It was almost apocalyptic and full day light was turning to dark literally in 5 second blocks. Time would not wait, and I pulled out my phone and took the ultimate selfie.
Others were doing the same and in under 5 minutes, it was almost pitch black and I was so proud of my photo. Even though I had a few minutes to get this photo, there have been so many great opportunities where I have had just say 20 seconds to grab the selfie or photo.
I once took a photo with a top influencer that I put on LinkedIn. I got a lead from that photo which turned into a client. If I did not take that photo, would they have come a lead? Perhaps not.
My advice and thinking? Lightning reflexes my friend! When you see that great photo pull out your phone and snap away. It’s great, it’s worth it and it rocks.
Love your work, take lots of great photos, post them everywhere and of course; WIN BIG!
