Tips For Taking Photos Small Children

Here is my experience in taking a small child I never fit in the forum.
See the column on the topic "Sharing & Photo Gallery" I do see a lot of sdh foto2 son / daughter kesayangannya, I think there is no one to share my experience with the hobbies I patner KD children photographs.

The idea is as follows:

1. The most natural thing in the picture the children dri portraiture (portrait) is the corner of the image which we should stand parallel / level with the child. The reason is the effect of the lens. When you stand higher, will make a face, especially children dahinya larger and prominent than actual size. Moreover postures children seemed to be more short-dri operation. In the half-body images, then the child will not look like neck.

2. Try to meet for the camera viewfinder with a profile of children, for example, face or entire body.

3. Avoid the object as a child back dilatar electricity pole / light pole will make grow back page of the child.

4. If the background or the background (BG) is very knowledgeable, back your camera to a vertical position. This will reduce the effect of the wide background, photos and more focus to the child only.

5. Try wherever possible, take photos in the children made their own environment, for example, is surrounded by the piece, I in sleeping room is as saturated child all trinkets and toys that children preferred tune or page.

6. that can make the child feel comfortable / relax and not be tense or rigid.
Do not you sweet rule sit on the fringe sofa. Or stand degan robust attitude. This will only make children appear tense, especially if he did not feel comfortable or not happy when we impose our will.

7. Often children take photos with all do best when the child is not aware of the photo.
In this case, the expression of the face full of fun child will be recorded by nature (natural). In this case you can make yourself "invisible" (not visible), and the images should be done from long distance with the long lens / tele.

Kamera2 digital consumer / prosumer you are equipped with a long zoom lens to 10x or 12x allows the images this way. For DSLR camera, zoom lens many choices of medium size can be used to tele.

8. If you want a formal memfoto children, with clothes neatly in the day as Lebaran or Christmas, used cap, hat, or let it bring favorite toys, for boys. Meanwhile, a shawl or a flower or sekeranjang kesayangan dolls can be provided for girls. You can make a lot of interesting composition of the image you see from the various attitude of the child when the child feel happy, excited or relaxed.
Do not force the child must be the smile because it will make it behave tense. When the children feel relax, take some photos when the expression / mimic face, pose or style they are different.
There must be a few dri the many photos do you take will show the expression and pleasing composition stored as collections for the family.

9. There are two patterns action photos of children. First, take a photo at the time of action, such as the child is being run or run-chase the ball, you can use a high shutter speed (high speed SHUTTER) for winter (freeze frame) of the child as he was speechless olah (suspended).
How you can follow the two-way movement runner child with a camera, the term is photograph - panning. This is how children memfoto movement while estimate or to imagine where the next position at the time he ran. Point of focus the camera focused on a point I expect you have / imagine where the next child will be located.
Follow movement child ran up the camera is a bit forward position son. When approached titk was estimates you say, press SHUTTER button while the camera continues to follow the movement fled the child for several seconds.
When you sdh trained enough, the result is a picture I show the children but are sharply - in motion - some background do with vague line (streaks) indicative of the movement. The withdrawal action photos.
For taking action photos this should be done with the camera settings manually.

10. Like if you want another take photo a group child you're playing on the floor, on piles of sand, the beach, or in the garden. Postures you can be fully established, or are higher for can also cover the whole area played.

Must be in the recall, a child has a pro-pose macam2 / style and mimic facial expressions I always change at any time, and never have face same.
So, you should always ready (alert), to not lose the moment you rarely repeated again].

In this case, the advantage in the digital camera is you can make the photo various style for fear of running out of memory. As a photographer, you seeking the position, not the children who are looking for a position or placed in the position.

Among the many photos of a child, I experience for you, and stored for collection of memories. The rest do not groove, you can remove them from the memory card.
can, Avoid use flash in the photographs so that the children seem more natural. (Gosh, I hate flash)

example below is just as picture-made 200mm lens: In the face of the portrait, the child knows and is not between being caused photo do not know moment we will take photos, because without command. On the other photos the child is aware of the presence photos.

Portrait: main sand: Ciaaat .. main pasir: Ciaaat.. Freeze.. ceria Freeze .. cheers
