How To Take a Great Photo
Likened to wildlife photography you can never have too many tricks up your sleeve in order to get great shots of your precious ones. We do our own photography at Tees 2 Knees and are far from being professionals but we have learnt a few things along the way that have helped us get the shots that we need. Hope you find the following useful.
Let kids be kids: there is something magic about a child playing in their natural state so let them go for it and shoot them as they do.
Make Conversation: engage with your child in a brief conversation. Ask them about what they are doing or what they love about their favourite thing
Get Down To Their Level: try laying on the grass/ground and and focus on eye contact.
Quantity for Quality: when it comes to taking great shots Ithe secret is to getting one good shot is quantity.
Get up Close: Zoom in a little closer than you normally would and save yourself the time of cropping the image later.
Cut the Flash: if your camera has a manual setting try experimenting with the different settings. Try turning off the flash to avoid washed out faces and red eyes. Light is the key to beautiful snaps. Avoid harsh summer sun instead try mornings or afternoons for a warmer and less shadowy shot.
Don’t Pose – Compose don’t stress if your little one won’t look at you or smile. Some of the my favourite photos of kids are often when they aren’t looking at the camera.
Photo Editing: simple photo editing software seems to be standard with most cameras so don't be hesitant to have a play around. The other option of course is to elist the service of a professional photo editing service.
For further information it is worth popping over to the my new shiny shoes blog where you can get your free digital photography guide which I am certain will come in rather handy over the festive season
