Burst photography is a go-to choice for a range of photography styles. Sports photographers use burst mode to capture the perfect moment a ball is kicked, a boxer lands a punch, or a tennis player connects with a swing. Street photographers use it to make sure they get the timing just right in their compositions too, and as a street photographer myself, I’ve often relied on it while out shooting. It gives photographers the ability to ensure moments aren’t missed, capturing the exact moment they were hoping for.

Camera bulb mode sounds like a rather complicated setting to use. If you’re a beginner, it may even sound like something you want to avoid altogether. But in reality, it’s very simple to use and unlocks the ability to take photos you otherwise wouldn’t be able to capture.

Flowers have been part of portraits for years, centuries even, because they aren’t just popular in photography but have been used in painted portraits countless times. Does that mean it’s an overused prop to include? Absolutely not. I feel like flowers effortlessly bring more beauty into an image, solidify narratives and affect the mood. Simple yet effective, it’s definitely still worth shooting with them.
