Most amateur photographers love to take spontaneous or natural photos. That should not come as huge surprise as spontaneous and natural photos cover most of those which are not actually posed.

Spur of the moment portraits, taken without prior planning and the use of a tripod, are the easiest photos to take but can produce some very good, and often unexpected, results. This can happen by just remembering to take your camera with you and hope the right opportunities come up before you leave home.

Quite often some the best informal portraits are taken at weddings. With plenty of relaxed people around, with the possible exception of the bride and groom, and lots of social interaction going on there will always be endless opportunities for taking the un-posed or surprise shot. The best photos are invariably taken when people aren?t even aware that they are photographed. Professional photographers are now adopting this method of taking candid, unposed pictures at weddings while still managing to produce wonderful and memorable pictures.

Of course the problem with taking spontaneous photos is that quite often you aren?t really sure of exactly what you have managed to capture until you preview the photo on the cameras LCD screen. Hopefully, there will be revealed a great shot full of character and impromptu humour.

One of the problems when taking spontaneous and unposed photos is that you may end up with a picture of a melee of people with the subject nowhere in sight. hould that happen you can always erase the picture and try again.

Although candid photos usually come from a spontaneous moment they can still be planned to some degree to remove the uncertainty about getting the exact image that you want to capture. Try and anticipate your subject movement and how a certain situation might evolve. It is important to use the right focal length for the shot you are trying to create. If you don’t want you subject to be over shadowed by the background, use a telephoto lens. A wide lens is best for group shots or if you consider the background important. Another trick to try is to turn your camera round 45 degrees for a landscape effect. Sometimes it is also a good idea to make use of the background, making it surround the subject.

Don?t always try and make the subject ?big? in the shot, let the background into the picture. This helps to create context and a sense of scale and will improve your more candid photos enormously.
