The most common shoots I get to do are live gigs... Bands always want pics for their Facebook pages or websites (which is awesome, promotion is the key to success)... Problem is... I get so bloody nervous to shoot them.
I don't yet have the skills to let my fingers do the clicking and my eyes to do the thinking/scanning of potentially awesome moments.
Unfortunately I still spend far too much time fiddling around with the settings trying to allow for low lighting, movement and redness (any live photographer will know what I mean about redness... that damn red lighting. Cool in real life, but the camera hates it!)that I forget to feel the moment and what's important to it...
Or then there's the opposite spectrum where I am feeling that moment and I am setting up some amazing images, but only to find out later that my camera was on the wrong setting.
I know, that with experience comes that auto-pilot functionality. But I'm a long way way away from that.
So at them moment the nerves are in control.
