Alright, let’s talk about those Planned Parenthood Park Hill photos. So, the other day, I was tasked with grabbing some photos of the Planned Parenthood location over in Park Hill. Seemed simple enough, right? Well, it got a little more involved than I initially thought.
First thing I did was hop in the car and drive over there. I wanted to get a feel for the place, see what kind of angles I was working with, the lighting situation, the whole nine yards. I drove around the block a couple of times, scoping things out, trying to be discreet about it. Didn’t want to look like I was casing the joint or anything!
Next, I parked a little ways down the street, grabbed my camera, and walked back. I started snapping some shots from across the street, getting the whole building in the frame. Then I moved in a little closer, focusing on the entrance, the signage, just the general vibe of the place.
Now, here’s where it got a little tricky. There were people coming and going, and I didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable or feel like they were being photographed without their permission. So, I tried to be mindful of that, waiting for clear shots where I wasn’t directly pointing the camera at anyone.
I spent a good hour or so walking around, experimenting with different angles and perspectives. I tried to capture the essence of the building, you know? Not just a sterile, architectural shot, but something that conveyed a sense of place.
After I had a decent collection of photos, I headed back home and uploaded them to my computer. Then came the fun part: sifting through them, editing, and choosing the best ones. I tweaked the colors, adjusted the lighting, and cropped them to perfection.
Finally, I had a set of photos that I was pretty happy with. They weren’t going to win any awards, but they got the job done. And hey, I learned a thing or two about street photography in the process. Not bad for a day’s work!
- Drove to the location
- Scouted the area
- Took photos from different angles
- Edited the photos
- Selected the best ones
Lessons Learned: Being mindful of people’s privacy is key when shooting in public. Also, a little patience and experimentation can go a long way in getting the right shot.
Final Thoughts
It was a simple task, but it taught me a lot about being observant and respectful when taking photos in public spaces. Plus, it was a good excuse to get out of the house and explore a new part of town.
