I love my job. I love my job and the people who work for me. The 54mmillertechcrunch Crawlies are a small, tight-knit group of professionals with a mission: to document the world around us so we can share it with the rest of the world. It’s such an exciting and demanding position but also a very challenging one. To be called upon every single moment and pulled into every corner of this amazing world is an honor that few receive. So what if you are asked to explore? What if you are tasked with delivering high definition videos of your favorite places, foods, sights, and more? You know what that means! A hiking trip through the American West? A vlog on the side? If you’re looking to take your photography up a notch, what’s the best way to do that while still filming and hooking people along the way? Well… Let’s Get Social!
What makes a perfect Crawl?
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to capturing the perfect Crawl, and that’s why you’ll have to decide for yourself what makes the perfect Crawl. There are a few factors to consider while choosing the perfect place to take the shot: the weather, the time of the year, the location, the event, and the people you’re photographing. The weather in Northern California can be cold and harsh, while in other areas you may experience an endless array of endless rainfalls. Additionally, the time of year for these traveling Crawlies is often very different from the other major months of the year. In the desert Southwest, you might have the perfect time to indulge in summer fun and adventure while the weather is drizzling and then you’ll have dust to contend with in the desert Southwest in winter. Overall, the time of year is often a deciding factor, as well as the location you choose to take the shot.
You’ve got to have a camera
While you’re probably more attracted to the idea of taking a picture of a sunset or a fishing boat than you are to photographing something more formal, you still need to have a camera in order to seamlessly blend your photography with the live action being documented. Canon cameras are some of the most popular photography cameras on the market, and since there are so many different camera models to choose from, you’re bound to come across at least one that works just as well in low light conditions as it does high. Additionally, you’re likely to come across a wide range of camera lenses when you’re looking for the perfect fit for your camera. Wide-angle lens for additional Instagram charm? A telephoto lens for dramatic shots of nature? There are numerous camera lens options to choose from, and you should always make sure to research which one is right for your camera and lens weight.
You’re under attack
When you take a picture of a party, you’re attacking the party and their culture. You might be taking a picture of a gathering of friends having a great time, or you might be taking a picture of a wedding that’s just getting started. Both of these are perfectly fine, even though you might not have intended to. Crawlies are professionals, and our job is to support and document these communities. If you’re in a situation where you have to take a picture that’s disrespectful, intimidating, or otherwise unwanted, it will likely result in a negative impact on your career. If you’ve been targeted by some of these negative social media comments, feed, or posts, you’ll want to be able to defend yourself. There’s no perfect solution to social media and social attacks, but there’s definitely an easier way to go about it.
A great cause
There are plenty of great causes to support when you’re in need of a cause. Whether you want to support charities that benefit from helping those in need, or you just want to help a local organization in need, there are plenty of local causes to support. If you’re able to contribute towards one of these causes, it’s going to help your reputation for a long time. There are a few ways to do this, but the most important thing is to let your cause be known. Nobody wants to be associated with a cause that doesn’t have a lot of publicity or isn’t on the radar of big Hollywood or that has a lower approval rating than you’d expect from your industry peers. Remember, this is the U.S. of A., after all, and there’s always a chance of Shitty Reviewing, Not-So-Hollywood, and U.S.A. Problems.
There’s an entire world out there waiting to be photographed
You’re going to spend the majority of your day taking pictures of places that have no business being in pictures. All you’re doing is leaving behind the life that you have and heading into a world of darkness. No matter where you are or what situation you find yourself in, there will still be people who are looking for your pictures. This is the entire world to be documented, and you can do it while preventing a lot of damage and having a blast along the way. Places like Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia are all great opportunities toPhotoorto the world.
The Grind of It All
You’re probably going to get hit by a car, start fires, and pick up very little in return. If the items you’re carrying are in good condition, then you’re probably going to be okay. But based on what we’ve learned about climate change and the environment, it’s not likely to be an easy world to navigate. The average person can expect to spend around one day and nights on the move, making only about six months of really consistent, sustained sleep per year. Even in sunny weather, you’re probably going to be spending a good portion of your day in the open air. It’s not only getting yourself into a poor sleeping rhythm but also making any regular repairs to your vehicle or your equipment as you go about your daily business. With so much to see and do, it’s easy to forget that you have a job to do. But remember, this is the business of being an artist — not a mechanic.
The Final Crawl
There are a few things you should keep in mind before you take your final shot. You want to make sure your gear is in order, that you’ve brought your gear with you, and that your shoes are on properly. You also want to make sure that you’ve taken the proper breaks between shots and that you’ve recharged your phone before you hit theitive. Make sure your gear is in good order before you commit to a shoot, and make sure you’re recharging your gear before you hit the ground.
