Thumbs up Good Christmas Piccies Hints & Tips

Get your batteries charged up.

Clean your lenses/make sure they are clean.

Think about where you are going to take pictures and what settings will work.

Don't experiment too much and risk loosing priceless shots.

Merry Christmas.

Very good advice!

This is where I often go wrong with gig photography... why do they have to have a bar at these venues?!

Strangely your camera probably will still focus rather well. Just look at it as an opportunity, you wont take too many shots laying on the floor normally.

Re: Good Christmas Piccies Hints & Tips

A nice "non full card" helps as well
but
Enjoy the "beverage" in moderation is really the best advice so far
Merry Christmas!
