The Best Ways to Capture the Moment

When you are in the midst of an important moment or event, you often don’t have the time to stop and think about the best way to capture it. Since we can’t stop time (yet), often the moments pass us by and then we have some regret on either not capturing the moment at all or not in the way we had hoped. To combat that feeling, it’s best to have a plan or at least think about what to do before the moment arise.

Our lives are punctuated with many important moments, so we’ve compiled some great tips on what you can do to be better prepared for the more spontaneous ones and for the ones that take months to plan, too.

Notes from the Professionals

Who better to turn to than professional photographers? Most of the time when we think about “capturing the moment,” we mean with a photograph. And with the proliferation of cameras in our phones and tablets, it’s easy to quickly capture any moment in time. But if you want more than just a quick iPhone snap, there are things to consider. Some of the best photographers in the world work for National Geographic and they have some great tips in this article.

Pulitzer Prize winners have also chimed in on what makes a photo good and how to capture a shot emotionally, too, in this great article. It’s full of inspiration and shows that you don’t have to be a seasoned photographer to capture a truly meaningful moment.
