This One Is For the WIMPS<\/strong>
\nA couple of years ago,\u00a0+Scott Kelby<\/a> had told me about a Mnemonic that he knew of to keep him thinking about\u00a0#photography<\/a> checks before a shoot. This is one of those things that through the years and despite forgetting what a couple of them meaning from time to time (some mnemonic, right?) its one that serves well to say to yourself “Dont forget the WIMPS. Dont forget the WIMPS”<\/p>\n

So what are WIMPS:<\/p>\n

W: White Balance<\/strong>
\nIts the one time you are struggling to figure out why everything is so blue in a shot, only to remember you were shooting at 2000K<\/em><\/p>\n

I: Your Camera ISO<\/strong>
\nIts the one time you think youre killing a job, when you find out youre at ISO6400. Or when you think that 1\/128 is still just frying your subject on a flashpop<\/em><\/p>\n

M: Mode: Auto? Aperture?<\/strong>
\nThis just happened last night. I asked\u00a0+Brad Moore<\/a> “Dude! I cant get this lens out to F16. He looked at me and said “See, this S, RC? This is Shutter Priority… ” – yeah. Its been this kind of week.<\/em><\/p>\n

P: Picture Type<\/strong>
\nIts the one time you’re like.. “Dude, I shot this in JPG Basic!<\/em><\/p>\n

S: Speed<\/strong>
\nEver go into a church to make some shots and think you’re being all sneaky? Then you press the shutter and rip frames like a machine gun? Yeah.. me neither..<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, and the picture below…
\nThis was back when I was out shooting with\u00a0+Joe McNally<\/a> hanging out the side of a helicopter, fake cigar out of his mouth, balancing a 600mm on one knee while turning sideways to talk to me in that ATeam Hannibal Smith kinda voice:<\/p>\n

“It’s a great day to be out here, isn’t it?!”<\/p>\n

You’re just stupefied as to how natural all of this is to him.<\/p>\n

“Yup… great day indeed..Now gets out da way.. I gots to make me some black and white HDR’s or something!”<\/p>\n

(I didnt really say that. And he really didnt have a fake cigar. But he\u00a0should <\/strong>have<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This One Is For the WIMPS A couple of years ago,\u00a0+Scott Kelby had told me about a Mnemonic…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10,3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2620","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-blog","7":"category-photography","8":"cs-entry"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2620"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2623,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2620\/revisions\/2623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
