It could be the first
shoot of your life or a shoot on your trip, if you didn’t take some time off to
prepare before the shoot, chances are you’ll feel the pinch when there’s
nothing you can do to correct it. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so
here are a few things you should do before your first shoot, or before leaving
on an excursion.
Charge your
Batteries
For the first shoot, make sure that the camera batteries are
fully charged. To get the maximum performance out of the batteries, always
drain them before a recharge and don’t start using the camera before the
battery is completely charged. If you’re going out for a shoot, make sure that
the spare batteries are also charged.
Check
Memory Space
It’s a good habit to unload your memory card to your
computer immediately after any shoot. It doesn’t cause problems the next time
you wish to go on a shooting spree. Even the spare memory card should be kept
empty, after all there’s no such thing as ‘too much free memory’.
Setting up
your computer
Keep the drivers and the required software installed and
ready to use before you shoot. If you have a laptop that you’ll be using to
store your images on the move then pre-installing the necessary software can
save you some precious time and laptop battery life.
