@bennett-family (Back to the original topic) a couple of the other things we learned in ACTION were to try to shoot for the eyes, meaning try to see one or preferably two (if you can see three, take a picture and post it here!) of the subject’s eyes doing whatever they’re doing as opposed to the back of his/her head.
Candids are great—so get them!—but don’t be afraid to ask for a quick pose (“hey—can you look at me for a second? and maybe give me a smile?”).
The last thing I’ll get to you is make a list of images your client (the camp) is wanting. This might involve asking the client what the images will be used for and what types of images they are wanting to see (e.g. kids jumping in pond, running, two kids conversing over peanut butter and jelly, an image that expresses “fun”, etc.).
Hope this helps!
Oh, and @morganwriter1gmail-com, have you ever tried to play frisbee on the Washington Pacific Coast? If the wind is blowing, it’s near impossible (like I’ll throw it twenty feet east so it goes twenty feet north), so I would anticipate getting there at the beginning if the wind is up so you can catch the first attempts. Make sure to keep your camera out of the sand, and have fun!
