Decisive Moment<br />

The right moment<br />

Before you can press the shutter release button, there must be the right moment.<br />

At the beginning, this might be a bit difficult to judge, but after a certain<br />

time you will know it by heart. You build a certain instinct when you<br />

should take a shot. It’s all about practicing and experience.<br />

Shoot a series<br />

You may take a series of photos in order to get the decisive moment. At least<br />

at the beginning you may not be sure when it’s the right moment. Then you<br />

keep shooting and decide on your computer which photo is the best. In the<br />

digital age this is not an issue anymore.<br />

Get experienced<br />

The more you shoot in the streets, the more experience you get. From my<br />

personal experience I can say that you will build the right sense for the right<br />

moment. You will start seeing things before they will happen. You will know<br />

when it’s time to press the shutter release button.<br />

It’s not always luck<br />

Some people say that it’s all just luck. Sure there is also luck when you shoot<br />

in the streets. But I think that luck comes with good preparation. Sometimes I<br />

see things while processing a photo which I have not seen while taking the<br />

shot. In the end it’s important what is on your photo and not if you have all<br />

seen and composed yourself. I even think that the subconscious mind is also<br />

working for you while shooting in the streets.<br />

“Luck is what happens when<br />

preparation meets opportunity.”<br />
