As stated earlier, still-life and close-ups can also be part of your snapshots collection, just what they might be are entirely up to you. Walking down any of your local neighborhood street with your camera along can generate a lot of photo possibilities. The photo of the Federal Capital's flags (below, left) was initially shot for an article on depth-of-field but was not used. Row of Federal Capital's flags Close-up shot of flowers Close-up of radio-controlled car Close-up of a refrigerated Coke can Pop star celebrities are also those that make for interesting snapshots, if you can get close to them. For professional photographers, this is not a problem since they have access to such celebrities' news conferences or photo calls (time to pose for the Press). Even then, the fans can also have their fair share of getting snapshots of their favorite artistes whenever their idols are getting out of their cars or stepping out from their hotels. Asian celebrities are more receptive to pose for or with their fans but most Western types have too big an ego to pose or acknowledge the existence of their fans wherever they go. And those Western stars' bodyguards will make sure that the fans don't come too near or they (the fans) will suffer some broken noses. Sometimes, even Press photographers representing popular entertainment publications can be mistaken for those greedy paparazzi types and they will be punched as well. Snapshot of HK's Gigi Leung Snapshot of HK's Eason Chan Children make interesting subjects for snapshots. For those who have mischievous kids of their own, snapping them having fun can be satisfying. If you don't have any, snapping your own mischievous nephews and nieces will also do the trick. Children having fun with their toys   Like sporting events, exhibitions and public road-shows of consumer products are places where snapshots can be easily obtained, of the products on display, the promotion staff and the visiting members of the public. However, there are some events where the organizers do not allow beginner and amateur photographers the freedom to snap photos in the exhibition area. But such organizers are few so there is nothing to worry. All the major exhibitions need publicity to ensure maximum mileage so more people can come and visit the fair. Since such visitors can come from far away, they will surely bring along their cameras to snap some photos of their visits. Refusing to let the visitors to pose for photos in the exhibition area can be a costly mistake for any organizer. It is like telling the visitors their presence there is not welcome. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 .
