Camera Guidelines:

To support and motivate our members, taking pictures can be both fun and beneficial. It provides a visual record of their journey, and it's a great way to boost their spirits. Plus, their family and friends get to share in their progress.

  • Your aim is to capture at least one picture of each person performing each movement. For instance, during a workout like the Filthy Fifty, that means potentially taking 10 pictures per person throughout the day. The best approach is to capture these shots in one go, then put the camera aside and focus on coaching.

  • Don't worry about taking too many pictures; it's digital, so snap away. However, try to avoid taking excessive series of shots, especially if there's minimal movement to capture.

  • Please be mindful not to take embarrassing pictures. These should be avoided, such as shots of body parts or anything you wouldn't want your sister or mom to see.

Camera Configuration:

  • Setting up the camera correctly is crucial to ensure your pictures turn out well. You should not need to change any settings but be careful and it is easy to inadvertently change them.

  • The goal is to freeze the athlete's action without making the image too dark.

  • Feel free to experiment with different compositions. Composition is how the subjects are arranged in the frame. Not every picture needs to be a portrait; try landscape or angled shots. Take some from a low angle or from a raised position from a box for example. Try to get others in the background.

  • Capture both individual and group shots, and try to convey the atmosphere of the hour.

  • The camera should always be configured to Tv mode and the shutter at 125.

  • Above all, enjoy the process!
