So Mr Chris here,

throwing some meat on the grill.

I'm just going to lean over his shoulder and take some photos.

Just get him doing his thing, get some smoke.

Hopefully, get the meat as it's changing colors,

get some top-down shots with a wider lens,

maybe some pictures of him if he'll let me. Hey Chris.

Yeah.

Mind if I take pictures of you?

Not at all man. Go ahead.

All right. Sounds good.

Since it's all in the shade,

I don't have to diffuse the light at all.

Get some shots of him preparing that stuff, throwing it in.

Sometimes blurred shots are nice.

I think I'm going to switch to manual

because the exposure is changing a lot as I'm taking these photos from above.

Oftentimes, when you're shooting a scene that's dynamic,

especially one with a lot of black in it,

some cameras tend to overexpose,

so I'm going to shoot manually so that it doesn't change exposure on me.

That looks perfect.

The shots I plan on getting depend on the situation at hand.

If you would like to be very mechanical about it,

methodical, you can arrange a get-together,

with everybody understanding that the point of the get-together,

at least for you, is to create a stockpile of imagery.

However, in this case,

it's just a friendly backyard barbecue

and I'm just the resident photographer so to speak.

So, I'm here to seize every opportunity as it arises.

There's not really a right or wrong when it comes to shooting this sort of thing.

You just run-and-gun, do the best that you can when you're doing it,

and surely end up with some images that you can sell,

or some images that you can use somewhere.

But putting a little bit of effort into the staging of

things is something that we generally keep in mind.

The more that we do this, the more that we begin

to know what to look for and know how to prepare things,

hence the nice preparation of the tablescape beforehand,

and now, the nice arrangement of food on the actual barbecue.
