Grad ceremony and cameras (and little girls)

Omg, so much to share, don’t know where to start. (Maybe, we’ll only share one story right now)

FYI: If you bring your 4 year old granddaughter to a one-time event, such as someone’s college graduation ceremony, don’t let them play with the camera before taking the pics.

Camera “setting” icon was supposed to be on “green/auto”. Ended up set on an icon of a “track/field runner”. Which, if you’re not a Canon camera owner, means “Sports mode”. What does “Sports mode” mean, you ask?

It tells the camera, for every click of the shutter, the photographer wants the camera to shoot a “burst” of pictures. For example, you want to take pictures of someone pole vaulting, or a relay runner doing the hand-off, or a quarterback throwing a pass, etc.

Just how many is a “burst”?

Anywhere from 5 to 10 pics per shutter click.

This morning, I was given shared access to a Dropbox folder of over three hundred photos taken during the (way) less than five minute period of my walking to the stage, and across the stage.

Once I sort thru them, I’ll be posting just a little bit “less” than the original 300 (perhaps like maybe just five, ten or fifteen of them).

Parents/Grandparents: “Always” have a spare “toy” camera in your pocket for the sweet, and beautiful, and oh so smart four year old in your life to play with (while you shoot with the “production” camera)! Lol lol lol lol lol
