Earlier we asked our readers in the Your Photo Tips.com Flickr Group to give us some of their best one sentence photography tips and we had a great response! For the next few weeks I’ll be elaborating, in my own words, what those photo tips mean to me and how they can help you become a better photographer. So if you missed the original post you can find it at 16 Quick Tips For New Photographers.

Shut Up and Shoot!

NetDep sort of threw me for a loop when he said

To paraphrase Rihanna, “Shut up and shoot!”

As much as I tried to Google Rihanna Photographer, Rihanna Photography, and Photography by Rihanna, I just couldn’t find Rihanna the Photographer or his/her website.

Nothing.

Well, maybe something. I did find a pop singer who goes by Rihanna. Then, with further digging, I found a song title “Shut Up and Drive”.

So I bought the song, uploaded it to my iPod, then listened to it.

First, I want to go on record stating that I do not condone the listening of Pop Music, so please use all caution when researching. I only bought the song because I had to figure out what NetDep was talking about. I have since only listened to the song a small handful of times and consequently deleted said song from my iPod. I don’t believe that any permanent damage was done, although I am being monitored closely.

The point, is that you aren’t getting any younger, so just grab your camera and shut up and shoot!
