“Compose and wait” … and Keep Shooting!
Anyone who knows anything about my photography knows that it is highly influenced by the “compose and wait” teachings of Sam Abell (see this series of Crit House videos Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4). The thing is, this phrase, “compose and wait”, doesn’t actually describe the action part of technique.
Compose, wait, shoot…
Compose, wait, shoot…
Compose, wait, shoot…
Compose wait, SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT!
This scene at the 21st Century Museum in Kanazawa Japan provided ample opportunities with essentially one compose and several waits and shoots.
