SHOOT THE KIDS

Source:www.photos.com

After being cooped up in the house with the kids all winter don't you want to just take them outside and shoot them?

Of course I mean with your digital camera, now that spring has arrived in some places, and is just around the corner for everyone else.

The usual tips for taking great shots of kids are places that the kids like, and are familiar with, so they'll feel comfortable.

Go to places where there are things to do, obviously playgrounds come to mind, but there are parks with lakes in which aquatic birds are now gathering. Bring some approved bird feed and let the kids loose with it so you can get those priceless candid shots.

I suggest going at a time when it isn't crowded so you don't have to pick your own offspring out of a crowd.

Use a fast shutter speed to capture sharp images, and take pictures from low angles so the kids don't appear disproportionately small.

There are many tips and tricks for taking great kid pictures and this site has some great hints and examples.

  • Sometime back, I spent some time trying to photograph kids at a marriage ceremony. I knew all these kids in person and some of them were very good pals of mine. So I could get them to pose comfortably and without any hesitation or reluctance. At the same time, I was not really looking for good pictures but passing time playing with them. I was probably looking at making post card prints and give it to their families. So since the lighting was low, I did not hesitate much and set the ISO to 1600 and generously used flash. I still got some decent pictures.
