DESCRIPTION:Inspire Series: Think Before You Shoot with Leah Gray\n
 \n
 Think before you Shoot,\n
 \n
 Before you leave the house with your camera do you prepare? What shou
 ld you bring with you? Do you calculate the time of day and the tides
 , or do you wing it, and head for your favourite bird photography loc
 ation? What sort of preparation should a photographer do? What do you
  think about before capturing an image? Do you get analysis paralysis
 ? Do you worry about equipment? Does your creative side get lost, or 
 do you get lost without a plan?\n
 \n
 This presentation will take you through several different genres of p
 hotography from landscapes to portraits. Find the freedom to photogra
 ph your subject by preparing beforehand. Some things are best prepare
 d long in advance, and others take just a few minutes.\n
