A checklist

From Brenda Tharp's "Creative Nature and Outdoor Photography" (a really good book!):

  • Is the light appropriate for the subject?
  • What do I want to be dominant?
  • What do I want in the frame?
  • Where do I need to be for great depth and angle of view?
  • How much depth of field do I want or need?
  • Do I need fast or slow shutter speed?
  • Would a tripod help?
  • What is the range of light?
  • Would a filter help?
  • Is there a creative technique that would better express my vision?
