Photography Tips That Make Sense When Photographing Children

If you like photographing children, it can be both rewarding and profitable. Taking pictures of children is no easy task and if it's something you don't love doing, the child (or children) you are photographing will know, making it that much more difficult to get the shot you want.

Some of the most common techniques used in photography will not necessarily work when taking pictures of children. Telling a child to "freeze or "hold it will not make much sense to them. Children will often do as they please so it is the job of the photographer to anticipate what a child is about to do and be ready to capture it.

As children will not always cooperate with what you want, you need to use your imagination to get them to be at their best. Use their behavior to your advantage. If a child is being uncooperative, try telling him to do the opposite of what you want, expecting him to try to thwart your plans. There is nothing wrong with tricking a child as long as you get the shots you need.

Before booking photography sessions with children, you need to know both your camera equipment inside and out and what your own capabilities are in being able to get the best possible pictures. When photographing children, 100% of your focus is needed; there is no time to figure out the best lighting or what your camera can and can't do. Children's level of focus in a photography session can be limited at best thus you need to take complete advantage of the time you have to get their undivided attention to get the pictures you need. Rushing a child into what you want is also not the best approach. Getting their cooperation is key and that is best achieved when all attention is directed towards them.

Know your subjects - With children, you must expect the unexpected. At different ages children are capable of doing different things. The more you know what they typically do during some of these stages, the better images you are going to capture. And the happier you make your clients - which, in turn, makes you financially happy.

During a session photographing children you can get a variety of poses, expressions and antics. In no other field of photography are you liable to get such variety. The more you learn about little ones the better child photographer you will be. Children are not just children until they become adults -they come in all sizes. Between four months and four years you can place them into quite a few categories: 4-6 mos, 6-12 mos, 12-18 mos, 18-24 mos, and then you can lengthen out the age span. Awareness of these ages are needed to help you - the photographer - be aware of the limitations children (especially little ones) have.

Keep in mind that parents can play a key role when photographing children. They will be able to tell you certain things about their child that can go a long way to helping you through the picture session ultimately ensuring you obtain the best possible shots. Given most children have difficulty sitting through a photography session, you will not have time to win them over; knowing their likes and dislikes, their fears, their favorite things, to name a few, can be extremely helpful.

Make sure your camera is at the ready at all times- with children, you likely won't get a second chance to capture something they did unexpectedly.

In most areas of photography a tripod is great for sharp photos. However with child photography you do not always have such a luxury. Once they reach the moving around stage, a tripod limits your ability to capture expressions and poses. Be mindful of your camera settings - keep that shutter speed fast enough to prevent blurring - and be ready to move quickly!

When photographing children, there is no need to take the standard picture (unless you are asked to do so by the parents). Be as creative as possible; photograph them on a horse, coming down the slide in a park, running after a ball. There are so many possibilities! The more experience you gain taking pictures of children the more you will know what works best for each child and each situation.

Take picture of one child is challenging enough, but sometimes, you are forced to deal with more than one. Siblings, cousins, twins, triplets are common subjects you will have to deal with. Don't panic! Admittedly, controlling more than one child can be difficult, but the key is to get all the subjects focused on one focal point before you take the picture. It can be very tricky, but with practice, you will learn it isn't impossible.

When capturing a child or children on film, get creative when trying to get their attention; use different techniques and use them quickly as you won't have the time to try again. Using a digital camera can help in this regard as there are no limits to the amount of exposures you can take and luckily, you can look at the pictures very quickly as you go.

Brothers and sisters can also play a vital role in your photography session with children. Siblings may actually be more successful than parents in getting their brother or sister to laugh, cry, smile, or make a funny face. Use the comfort level a child feels with their sibling to your best advantage and get the pictures you want. Another bonus to having sibling present, is that the parents may decide that they too should be photographed- all this means a bigger photo package for the client and more money for you!

Take your act on the road - You can do child photography at the park - on the beach - in the backyard, just as easily as in a studio or home - maybe more so - and nature will take care of the lighting for you, as long as you select open shade.

Be creative when photographing children: go to the beach, the park, or the backyard. There is no rule that says you are required to stay in the studio. Taking photographs outside eliminates the need for lighting; as long as you choose open shade, nature will do the work for you. Finally, keep a variety of items on hand to further capture the interest of the child or children you are photographing. Depending on the age of the child, toys, stuffed animals, snacks, hats, mirrors and dolls are just a few of the items that can a go a very long way in keeping the child's interest. Use your imagination, the possibilities are endless.

The Historic Timeline Of Digital Cameras

By Sean Chandler

It was the earlier period of the historical timeline, the period of Chinese and the Greeks from where the fundamental concepts of static images and camera started developing. Endeavor of watching these pictures through a pin-point instrument lead to the beginning of photography.

The idea of the camera device was thought to be conceived theologically. It was based on an earlier concept of a Divine power. Cameras today are mostly digital, but they have descended from a long lineage of cameras.

The innovators of the past got an inspiration from the technology used in pin-hole camera and gave them the idea to arrest static pictures. But these devices were far from being portable, as they were so huge that a person could stand inside it.

In this camera, a static picture was taken by making the best use of available natural elements, and thus the required lighting was effectively created so as to click a picture via the pin-point device. After that, the person whose picture was clicked was displayed on the screen. And this image was manually printed on the then available resources.

This camera was only used for entertainment purposes. It was later transformed into another version which allowed for more transportability. Inventors at the time made improvements that enabled this to happen. Darkening chemicals were used, but only revealed themselves under the necessary light used to see the images. For this reason the images did not last.

The discovery of a substance like gelatin that could allow the images to set and stay permanently was a big leap in the evolution of cameras. But there needed to be a quickness of response to go with this new material and imaging, so a mechanical shutter was invented that could easily be triggered to capture the image desired.

It was after the first kind of film that was invented; the first instrument i.e. the camera was invented successfully. This camera developed in 19tth century was a block shaped instrument, black in color and build with identical technology that is found in its successors.

As the process of evolution went on for years and decades, many more types of cameras were easily available. The present day modern Digital cameras are the enhanced and upgraded versions of those cameras. Today one can not only capture still pictures, but also capture motion pictures or videos. Also, those pictures can be transferred to any storage devices like hard drives, pen drives or computers, which can easily be viewed from multiple locations.

Digital Photo Guide - 4 Easy Tricks For Getting That Perfect Shot

By Dan Feildman

Unfortunately we have all been there. The subject matter is uninspiring and there is absolutely nothing you can do to make it visually stimulating. For me this usually occurs when I have to film an event or other social gathering however I never let it get me down; when this happens I figure I have two choices, I can either let the boring and humdrum win or I can use some of the following tricks and attempt to get some prize winning footage.

POV: When you use the Point of View Shot you are virtually taking the shot from the point of view of the subject itself. This shot was immortalized during the film The Patriot when the cannon ball comes right at the camera and then the action cuts to a soldier being cut in two by that same cannon ball. The shot easily gains the interest of the audience and quickly pulls them into the action. I normally go with this shot when I have a lot of action and I want to get great shots of the same action.

Rack Focus: Rack Focus is when you change your focus between a close subject and a distant subject. You can get some pretty amazing footage using thse because it puts the camera man in direct control of the audience. By manually switching the focus of the camera between subjects distant and close you include two totally distinct subjects without cutting or moving the camera. You are forcing your audience to follow the focus since the blurred images are not easily interpreted. This technique adds a professional look to any video.

Crooked Angle: You can get some great shot simply by turning the camera to the side so the ground is no longer parallel with the square of the viewfinder. You will be amazed at how incredible some of these shots can be. A bit of a warning though, try to keep the camera somewhat still as a lot of movement may make your audience sick. Using very slight movement at crooked angles is an easy way to create interest and cast your subjects in a new light.

Track Shot: If you can figure out the logistics track shots is a great way to get a video that will hold peoples interest. A track shot is when you move the camera in a definite path. You can do this shot using a wheelchair or skateboard but it creates some amazing video!

These four classic shots will exponentially increase the interest of your productions and will leave your audience wanting more.

Aspects To Consider For Camcorders

By Steve Jones

Bring alive the moment with recording devices that are made for you. All standard camcorders have format for video capture in the Full HD type. These allow the photographer to create high quality pictures, which are reserved for the future. These are sentiments and memories which make life come the full circle. Giving life its defining moments so that they are shared with all the people, is the spirit of living. It is typically captured in these devices.

Most of the features of the camcorders are standard. The weight of course, depends on the paraphernalia, which accompany the camera. Therefore, there are those that weigh only half kg while there are those which weigh 2 and a half kg. The cameras have a 1 year warranty at least and many of the features are standard.

The clarity of the pictures depends a lot on the way you choose the shutter speeds. For high-speed action, it is necessary to keep the shutter speeds very fast. Using optical zooms which are around 16 x to 30 x combined with digital zoom which may be as high as 120 x or 140 x set your pictures in a different frame altogether. However, one needs good experience to be able to judge which settings will match the situation exactly.

People have different models and each of these models have either a ordinary viewfinder or a digital or electronic viewfinder. The viewfinders are made for the person to find the object and focus on the image easily. The cameras are similarly made to have a snug fit in the palm, so that there is no shake while taking the pictures. The easy grip make them easy to carry around and they focus easily because of the advanced optics.

The image optical stabilization helps rid of the shake that might develop. The resolution is most likely to be 1920 x 1080 for standard units. Most of the automatic functions are powered by a battery, which comes along with the device. Use those which you like and improve the quality of your life.

Memory systems of the camcorders vary according to the model; some have memory card with flash memory, others have memory card, which operates on solid-state, drive while yet others have SD card or a SDHC card. The memory cards make it possible for the person to record more, to get pictures which are clearer and to transfer pictures easily from one place to another.

Different models have different lux maximum factor depending on the make of the device and the company. People would choose their cameras within the price range which is comfortable for them. If the unit is more expensive, then you will be get pictures of a good quality.

Superior quality lenses are used in camcorders in the upper bracket. These ensure that the quality of the pictures are crystal clear and that the distortions are down to a minimum. The image resolution (which determines how clear your picture is) is more if you are paying more. People want cameras which are durable and give quality.

Tips For Taking Care Of Underwater Cameras

By Max Tucker

If you are a diver, then you know what it is like to be mesmerized by the beauty of undersea life. Colorful coral formations and exotic tropical fish are amazing. But even if you just put on a snorkel and mask and swim looking down, in many tropical places you will see beauty that you wish you could capture on film and now that is possible.

Diving, snorkeling - they're not always possible for everyone, but with an underwater camera, you now have the chance to show others what you experienced, without them ever having to get wet!

But if you think about it you will realize that an underwater camera is going through some much harsher conditions than a regular one would because it is under water so much. So you will have to be vigilant about its maintenance and care and here we will provide you with the guidelines you need to keep your camera in good shape.

For one thing, you might be able to just jump into the body of water you are about to explore, but that is not what your underwater camera should do. The O rings could be damaged if you just jump with it in hand and get it splashed hard. Instead, try to get in to the body of water yourself first and then ask someone to hand you the camera.

You are taking this sophisticated piece of equipment into the water and it can withstand a lot. However you do have to make sure by giving it an inspection that there are no cracks in the lens or leaks in the housing of the camera, because that will ensure a nonfunctioning instrument just when you need it.

After you come up from a dive or a snorkel, be sure to rinse your camera and use fresh water. The best way to do this is to soak it in tepid water for a few hours with the camera closed and going back to turn the controls periodically. That will help dissolve the salt that damages a camera once it dries. Do be sure to dry your device well before you open it, ensuring that no water that is there gets into the workings.

Inspect the O rings after the camera is very dry. They are the part of an underwater camera that keeps out the water. So always ensure that there is no sand or dirt in there. If there is, the water can be let in and the camera will be ruined.

If it appears that the O rings are becoming cracked or damaged, then they need to be replaced. One important part of regular maintenance for an underwater camera is to have it serviced by a camera repair technician. They can check O rings that are unable to be checked by the user.

Life's a Beach

By Nick Galante

My name is Nick Galante and I have been a Kauai family portrait photographer for over 25 years. I photograph families all over the island but prefer one special south shore beach. I have worked at this beach for so many years that I know what the sun will be doing every single day. Working at a familiar location all the time helps me to create the best possible family portraits.

Many families have reunions on Kauai where this might be the only time everyone gets together for years. I photograph the entire group, individual families, couples and individuals. I love large family groups. When you get a bunch of people on a beach with a camera they will do things they might not ordinarily do which makes for great photography.

I market my photo sessions as a Kauai fun family activity rather than a stiff portrait session. Other than dinner or maybe a boat trip this is probably the best way for a large group to interact in a unique way. There is always the hey let's do the photo where I am holding you in my arms like we did when we were 18 type of thing going on and I love that. My main goal other than great photos of course is that everyone has a fun time."

I try to get the formal groupings done first as young children have little patience for this type of activity. As soon as the formal photos are done we are walking on the beach, jumping off sand cliffs or running through the surf. By that time the kids are not even thinking about the camera. Even though we are doing all these crazy things my most important consideration is that everyone stays safe. Grandma isn't running through the surf although many times she insists on it.

My lifestyle is built around the beach. I try to shoot only one family per day with at least part of the day reserved for enjoying the surf. Many nights my family and I will have dinner while watching the sunset at the beach. In recent years I have retired from a stressful management position for a government contractor and tried to structure my life around enjoying and working at the beach. I have managed to create a lifestyle that is fun and helps visitors produce great photos.

Digital Photos - Ways To Share With Family And Friends

By Dan Feildman

What do you do with all of all of you beautiful digital photos? Of course you want to share them with your loved ones, but how? You have many options available to choose from that include burning them onto CD or DVD or even uploading and emailing the photos.

Lets walk through some of the best ways to share your cherished digital photo collection. Knowing these options, sharing your photos with others is simple to do. There are basically four main ways to share digital photos:

You can always share your pictures by having a hard-copy printout just like with film-based photography. Requirements include a good photo printer and some quality printing paper, after that its just printing! I typically print my photos from an inkjet printer (the Canon Pixma iP4000) on a glossy photo paper. The end results are high quality prints comparable to those printed at photo kiosks.

If you don't have a printer available, you can still count on a photo kiosk to do the job, or even transmit your pictures to an online photo print website. These websites typically print your pictures and deliver them to your doorstep. Make sure to shop for the best value first as many digital photo printing services are expensive.

Storing your photos on CD and DVD is another great alternative for sharing photos, particularly if you have an enormously huge photo compilation. A disadvantage might lay in that your family and friends need to have a CD player or DVD player in order to view the content of the disk.

These days, CD burners and DVD burners are very affordable. A single CD-R stores 650MB and a DVD stores 4GB. That is an amazing amount of storage space for your photo collection.

Of course, one option for sharing photos is to email them to to a friend or family member. I do warn you to be careful though. Make sure your recipient would like to receive the photos first. Bombarding him or her with a 10MB email containing photo attachments is not a very nice thing to do - it's best if you obtained permission to do so first.

A good option to emailing photos is to upload your photos to a website, then email the website link to your friends or family. This avoids the issue of large email attachments.

Since one of the best means in sharing digital photos is to upload them to a website, there are many online photo storage sites are now out there. SmugMug is one of my favorite photo sharing sites. It allows you to upload photo albums and decide who can view those albums.

You should know that there are limitations to using photo sharing websites. Some of them charge a fee for their services, while others require you to order prints to keep your account active. You also may not be able to customize the presentation of the website easily.

My personal recommendation is to set up your own web site to host your own picture gallery. If you're looking for a good web hosting company, I'd suggest you try Yahoo! web hosting. I've used them for years without any problems and their customer support is first-rate.

There are various ways to share your digital photos with friends and family. Personally, I tend to burn my images to CD or DVD and pass them around. I also like uploading images to websites for all to see. Do try one of the above techniques the next time you want to share photos!

Newborns & Photography: How to Make the Most of Your Baby Photography Session

By Aly Marie

There's nothing quite like the experience of a child's birth to bring out the desire to find the best newborn photography. Each moment of the infant's life seems to warrant a new picture to share with friends and loved ones. The problem is that tired parents who are functioning on four hours of interrupted sleep each night may not have the ability or professional newborn photography skills to effectively capture those moments. Connecting with an expert, such as this Kansas City newborn photographer, is the parents' best bet for acquiring those special images to cherish.

Once you have selected your professional newborn photographer and scheduled the appointment, it is time to prepare for the baby photography session. It is important to feel comfortable communicating with your photographer in order to find out exactly what he or she is planning for the session.

When communicating with the photographer over the phone or e-mail, consider asking the following questions:

How many outfits should I bring for the baby?

What time you should arrive for the session?

What will we do if the baby isn't cooperating or is fussy?

Can the photographer come to your home for the session?

How long it will take?

How soon will we be able to see the newborn photographs?

Prior to communicating with the photographer, it may help to brainstorm a list of questions with your spouse or a friend to ensure you are covering all the bases and can leave the conversation feeling confident about the upcoming session. For more ideas on what to expect, try visiting a newborn photography website.

Kansas City Baby Photography: What Will Happen During the Session?

"Because you have established a good line of communication with your chosen newborn photographer, you can feel free to ask her questions about the steps you should take on the session day to get your baby photo-ready. Your photographer may suggest you schedule your appointment after nap-time to capture your baby's personality, or she may suggest you let the little one nap during the session to get those adorable sleeping pictures.

If you are bringing the newborn photographer into your home, you will want to ensure the space you plan to use is tidy and photo-ready. Furthermore, it will be ideal to keep the room warm to help make the baby comfortable-as he or she may spend time in a diaper or without clothing.

If you are making the trek to the newborn photography studio or another off-site location, prepare a basket or travel bag with any special pieces you plan to accompany your baby in the pictures. For parents who wish to be in the photographs with the baby, the recommendation is to wear comfortable clothes in muted colors that will not detract from the baby and enable parents to move freely if necessary.

If you would like to be in the baby photographs, be sure to select lighter, neutral clothing colors that will go with the baby's outfits. You will also want to wear comfortable clothing, as you will more than likely be assisting with posing and positioning of props.

Although you have been planning for quite some time to create the perfect newborn photography experience, it is likely that undesirable things will happen. After all, we are dealing with babies! They are beautiful and precious, yet very unpredictable.

The best thing you can do is to loosen up those tense muscles and smile, fully enjoying the moment and knowing the result will be special infant photographs you can cherish for a lifetime.

Professional Photography Tips To Get Perfect Pictures

By Allison Maggie Sanchez

Welcome to the art of photography! It's a great big world, one that includes all the techniques and skills that could ever contribute to taking a great photo. Photography is very subjective which can seem overwhelming to a new photographer. The information provided below may help you to learn where to start.

Experiment with your camera's shutter speeds. It is normal to use the quickest shutter speed if you want to freeze action. In the same way, try to consider the things you can do with slower shutters speeds like 1/30. Find a moving object passing by, such as a bicycle. You can take a crisp picture of the bicyclist, but the blurred background will give a greater sense of speed.

Protect your camera equipment while traveling. Packing it in a carry on may be your best option. Take cleaning equipment and back-up batteries, as well as all the lenses you expect to make use of. Never pack more than you need. Think about which items will be convenient for taking on your trip.

While it is popular to wear white in photographs, it is the hardest color to capture well in a picture. Many photographers use the auto focus setting on their cameras. This setting doesn't work as well if the camera can't pick up different shades in its lens' range. For example, if a subject wears white and the background is also white, the camera won't focus properly. The contrasting background will make the white clothes stand out instead of looking washed out.

Try to use optical zoom instead of digital zoom on close-up shots. While most cameras let you zoom in very close, once the zoom is switched to digital from optical, it makes the quality of the image worse. Digital zoom mode interpolates the pixels of the shot and adds them into the photograph, which lowers the quality of the picture. You can disable this feature entirely if you check the manual for your camera and discover out how to do it.

Lighting is a crucial element when you are taking photographs outdoors. What could be a beautiful photo can easily be ruined when lighting is too dark, too light or fuzzy. When you can, keep the sun behind your back when you take photos; or, when you have people involved, move them into a shaded area for the photo.

Scenery photography - depth of field

By Amos Navarro

Depth of field is the limitation of perceived sharpness in a photographic image. The greater the depth of field, the greater of the image from front to back that shows up sharp. A photo that is told have a very shallow depth of field includes a short and much more specific depth of sharpness.

In photography, cautious use of depth of field could be an extremely potent tool indeed. It could possibly force viewers to focus only upon whatever is sharp, by utilizing a shallow depth of field. As our eyes aren't comfy in viewing unclear images, you have to have a tendency to look at the parts of a graphic that's sharp, and our gaze might focus upon that part of the image, rendering the other sharp parts of the image as blurry and never merit our interest. This usage of a shallow depth of field is especially well matched to portraiture. So long as the eyes are sharp, almost every other thing may be forgiven when they aren't sharp. People and animals usually think about the eyes first, so the eyes really should be sharp in the majority of portraiture photography.

Landscape photography is normally with the reverse end of the scale of depth of field, in which the majority of landscape images have to have a long depth of field. That is simply because those landscapes typically try emulating an actual scene as we see it, and viewers tend to be drawn into your image by its great depth of field.

Depth of field is controlled in two ways. Essentially the most regularly used is simply by aperture control. The greater the aperture, (smaller the number like F2.8), the shallower the depth of field. The apertures in between have a very depth of field is that is directly proportionate for the aperture selected across the scale. The second way of controlling depth of field is by using a camera or lens that enables the lens for being tilted forward or back. This enables the focusing plane in the lens for being more inclined to the plane of focus of the subject material, so because of this providing a much better depth of field and not using a change of aperture. It is one of the main reasons for making use of bellows type cameras, or tilt lenses. By using these camera or lens, one can possibly have a big a higher level control over depth of field at any aperture.

Depth of field is usually dictated by the focal length of the lens, plus the camera format for which the lens is utilized. For instance, a wide angle lens has always a much greater depth of field than a telephoto lens. An incredibly wide angled lens such as a 14mm lens has a depth of field so excellent who's virtually doesn't require focusing, whereas a 600mm telephoto lens possesses an really shallow depth of field, and until focused upon cross country subject material, the depth of field are invariably restricted indeed.

On the other end on the scale are macro lenses, which have been made to be capable to focus very closely to objects. Once you start moving in and start focusing very carefully, the depth of field once again becomes extremely shallow indeed. The closer you are free to the subject, the less the depth of field turns into, plus extreme close-ups only the slightest movement will result in the look to go out of focus entirely.

Start Enjoying Photography With These Great Tips!

By Tyra Georgia Sanchez

Many people are interested in photography but are unsure if they have the skills to become good at it. You can learn a lot about photography from books and online sources, but the best way to learn is by experimentation. The tips presented below can be integrated into your fund of photographic know-how.

The most important thing for a fantastic shot is the composition of the picture. Some people can naturally compose a great shot, and for others it requires a bit of work. A centered subject works for some pictures, but you can even create drama and interest in uninteresting scenes by placing your subject off-center.

Physically move closer to the subject in order to get a better picture. Getting as close to your subject as possible gives you more opportunities to highlight the main subject of the photo, and stops the background from ruining your shot. You can also pay attention to facial details, which will come in handy, especially if you are doing portrait photography. By being too far away from your subject, you often miss the minuscule details that can make a picture truly great.

Get as close to your subject as possible. Subjects lacking in color or details are one of the worst things you can see in a photograph. When you move closer enough to get a great shot, you save both yourself and those you share your photos with much frustration because the subjects of your photos are more vivid and clear.

It is important to find the perfect combination between ISO, aperture and shutter speed. It is those three elements which make up the exposure of the shot. You do not want to wind up with underexposed or overexposed photos unless you are aiming for that. See what kind of combinations you can come up with by switching up these three features.

An important factor in photography composition, is framing. Use your zoom feature to take away objects that might draw attention where you do not want it. You will reduce clutter in your photos and prevent unwanted focal points.

Many photographers pay attention to the background of a landscape shot and neglect the foreground, but the foreground is what the viewer will see. To create a frame that is striking and increase the depth of your photo, plan the foreground of the shot.

You can easily edit your pictures. There are a ton of different editing software programs for photographs. Get one with an unlimited way to edit the photos you've taken. Be sure to find one that you can learn to use, easily!

Above all else, photography is an art form meant to be enjoyed. It should be used to remember a specific moment, event, or place so that you may show others, or so you can recall it yourself. You will be so happy if you are having a good time when you are snapping pictures.

Photography is something that appeals to a lot of different people. However, the depth and breadth of the information out there on photography dissuades many from trying to expand their skills beyond taking the occasional snapshot.
