Sometimes the perfect photo is simply the one captured. This portrait of my son Zachary has some flaws in it, but when you have a child (or adult for that matter) that does not like to be photographed and suddenly they ask you to take their picture…you go with what ya got!

There was no time to set up, no time to worry about this or that, I just had time to grab the camera and start snapping before he walked away.

I was so glad that I had started resetting my camera settings prior to putting my equipment away. I tend to leave the dial on Aperture Priority when I store my gear as that has been a fairly successful quick setting for me at times like this. I changed the white balance to cloudy since it was overcast and was able to start snapping away immediately.

I learned from an ealier mistake that just putting your gear way without at least taking a quick look can be disaterous.

Start a routine of how you store your gear and you will find that it makes the next shoot that much easier to get going.
