Photographing in Public Places

So, when you're road tripping and you're on a photography trip, this is a unique one because we're combining both rural scenes, as well as going into a wilderness. And, as you're traveling, you're gonna hit places like, Wall. We're in South Dakota here. Custer, Hill City, Keystone. One of the keys in the place like Wall Drug, we've been teased with billboards all the way here.

Now we're here. Don't just pass through places like this. Stop and shoot them. We had a very, very limited window of opportunity here because the sun was setting, it's now going to go behind the cloud. Stop and get those shots.

Because in your final presentation, your final story, your final layout, you don't need to have in-depth coverage of these locations, but it always adds a little spice if you've got a little bit of coverage. And with all of the billboards and signs that seem to be around Wall Drug, come here, come here. We've got it. By just doing a simple little thing of running around town and getting a lot of nice shots of the billboards. Capturing coverage of our community.

And then we're gonna move on and get something else. So buzzing around town. We're accomplishing things and, you know, pulling out and seeing a variety of lenses. Because there's a variety of sizes of billboards. A number of ways of which they're placed in town.

Use your focal length differences to add a little bit of visual treat in and differences to your shots. So, however you decide to use these, if it's just bang, bang, bang, bang, getting that flavor of it. We are bringing Wall Drug home with us, even though we may not ever pass through here again. We've got it, by just going through town and in a very simple technique, documenting little bits and pieces of it. Eye candy, so to speak.

And we've gotten our DOB, it's time to move on.
