Photographing kids

Our kids grow so fast and so quickly changed! From the morning watch - a toddler, and by evening he was completely different, especially in the first months of his life. I so want to capture in memory of all those cherished pictures of his cute grimace, funny poses, the first attempts to keep the baby's head, his first smile.

Those moments very much, and each one is unique and beautiful. Memory, no doubt, will save a lot, but a good picture - that's what you'll be able to demonstrate the dads when they come to work, and loving grandparents, when they will visit you to show off to friends and relatives, and finally, these photographs you show your children when they grow up. So, dear mommy, hold it for the camera!"Stop a moment, you're beautiful!"

Make good photos, you'll be happy to look at and after many years, will help a few simple tips.
Firstly, the camera should always be in "combat readiness". The camera should always be inserted into the film or memory card (Compact Flash, etc.) should be working battery or charged battery.
Secondly, the camera is always to be "at hand", ie lie in the place where you can get it quickly, but only so that your pipsqueak could not do it for you.
Thirdly, choosing the camera angle, note, not clipped by any chance a pen or baby feet (unless, of course, we are not talking about big plan, and when a person is not included in the entire frame).
Photographing children under one year, try not to get involved in shooting a sleeping baby in swaddling clothes, remove his daily activities: here we weighed, yawn, for the first time we hold a toy, sit uncertainly, and here the first steps, etc. Although the photographs snuffle peacefully baby can also be fun.
In order sizes toddler were visible in the photograph, remove it along with any object: in the hands of the pope, or in conjunction with a chair, for which holds the baby.
Portrait photo at such a young age is not too interesting, but it seems to me that even the smallest child already has its own character, which is reflected in his inquisitive and intelligent eyes.
When shooting portraits, try to keep a child's face was not in the center of the frame, but slightly shifted so that the front of his eyes still had space. This will complement the feeling of "live view", would give the impression that the baby "looks forward" and make the picture more harmonious.

Photographing older children, do not try to ask them to pose, such photographs are often strained and unnatural, and as a consequence, not too interesting. Try to "catch" living, dynamic moments. To this end, some time to watch a child, think about what you would like to remove, is it a look of surprise baby, or will it be a child playing with a favorite toy. Look at what angle the baby will look like the most interesting and advantageous.
You can even try a little trick of the child in advance for pointing his camera, and then suddenly call him, that he looked in your direction. Children are very fast moving, especially when playing, so photographing moving the child, try to predict his next action or attitude.
As a general rule the child should be removed from the level of his eyes, ie, somewhere in the waist level adult. But there are other interesting angles, for example, top or bottom - despite what effect you want to achieve. If the child is lying on the floor, too, fall on the floor. Photo taken with this camera angle is also interesting because it will feel just the child's perception of the world.
When taking pictures be taken into account lighting. It is best to obtain images in the sun in nature. If shooting occurs indoors, try to use soft natural light from windows, because the flash (at least, the usual built-in, as in most "shoot cameras") are likely to spoil the shot. The flash will darken the background, Peresvetov object, distorted the color and underlining all the spots on the baby face.
Light for photography is never enough, so if you take pictures at home - including all light sources, which are all possible and bring portable lamps from other rooms.
If the flash when shooting still needed, try extricate her white sheet of paper, that the child is falling is not a direct flash light, and reflected.
Background - one more important detail good photo. The more uniform and monotonous background - the better! Remove all the excess out of the frame, it will only distract from the most important - subject. Try to keep the colors in the frame combined with each other, and thus they should not be too much.
By following these simple rules, you can make interesting pictures, but most importantly - love your children and watch them more often because they change so quickly!
