Tips For Taking Good Pictures Of Children

If you want to improve your pictures of children, here are a few tips and tricks that will help you get children pictures truly worth framing.


Usually the best pictures of children tend to be candid photos, but if you are taking a formal portrait, always practice with your camera first so you're ready.

When taking candid shots of children outdoors, use a zoom (preferably optical zoom) or a telephoto lens. This allows you to fade a bit into the background. The more noticeable you are taking pictures, the more likely the children will be silly or clam up making it hard to get a natural expression. Also be patient. Let them get used to you being there with your camera. Eventually they will relax.

Top 5 Digital Photography Tips And Tricks

Whether you have noticed it or not, most of your digital shots will have a 'cool' look to them, ie very sharp and cold looking. This is due to the white balance setting that is the default for digital cameras when on the "auto" setting. This probably doesn't bother you because you haven't really noticed it before, but once you try other settings, it makes a big difference!

If you are shooting outdoor photos and there is a lot of sunshine, try changing your white balance setting to manual and choose a setting such as shade or cloudy. This will increase the reds and yellows of the photo, giving you a warmer picture.

Understanding The 3 Various Focus Modes On SLR Cameras

Nearly all cheap digital camera models feature one built-in focus option, auto focus. Auto focus simply means the SLR camera is going to do the work for you and automatically focus on the actual subject you're taking photos of. However, digital SLR cameras normally come with three different selections for focus including single auto focus, manual focus, and continuous auto focus modes. Each and every one of these methods has its place and are valuable in different settings.

Single auto focus is a common function on just about every digital camera currently available. With this focus mode, you just press the shutter button half way or all the way down to automatically focus on the subject matter. This particular focus mode is most suited for taking photos of static objects that aren't shifting positions.

Digital Photography. Do More Mega Pixels Mean Better Quality?

Wednesday wasn't a great day for me. I awoke feeling like some sadistic dwarf had spent the complete night sanding my pharynx with sandpaper whilst brutally replacing my grey matter with lime green gelatin... yup I had man flu. The morning didn't get that much better as I then spent what felt like an eternity driving around Northampton General Hospital desperately trying to park so that my son could arrive at his hearing test appointment on time. With these and many more mild irritants behind me I was at least looking forward to one feature of my day, attending my local universities photography course open day, more precisely I'd been assured a hands on demonstration by Hasselblad's area sales team of their current drool inducing digital camera range, the H4D series.

And what a truly wonderful piece of kit this camera is, like all cameras brandishing the Hasselblad brand previous, it oozes quality. The Rolls Royce of cameras, the standard that all other makers must follow etc etc etc... but I've no desire to write a review. The thing that has endlessly peeved me for some years now (and judging by the photographers I met at the event I'm not alone) is this apparent mega pixel race we all seem to unwittingly be transfixed in. This silly and down right deceptive obsession with the pixel count as a measure of the caliber of a camera and therefore the photographer.

Photography - The Rule Of Thirds

One of the most beneficial rules in photography is a simple one called “The Rule of Thirds”. This one rule can be helpful to amateurs and professionals alike.

If the view finder in your camera has a grid option this is specifically why it’s there, and it makes it easy. Otherwise you’ll have to imagine it. Imagine your viewfinder as a tic-tac-toe game, with horizontal and vertical lines.

How To Choose Your Digital Camera Bag

There are four main categories of digital camera bags that we are going to consider. They are listed below and I will go into each one of them next and explain what they are with their pros and cons .

> camera sleeves

> digital camera pouch

> SLR camera bag / shoulder camera bags

> camera backpacks

First, let's start with the simplest carriers. This category is called: digital camera sleeves. The concept is as simple as it could get. You get a fabric sock for your digital camera, and you get to call it a sleeve, because people feel more comfortable touching a sleeve rather than a sock. But once you look into the architecture of the 'bag' you realize that sleeves are by definition open at both ends, while socks are opened just at one end.
They offer protection against scratches and keep your camera or mp3player or mobile phone looking new and shiny for a long(er) time. They are ideal if you plan to carry your camera in a suitcase, or purse. In short: if you plan on carrying your camera in a larger camera carrier.

Taking Great Landscape Shots

Capturing the moment
Photography is about freezing a moment in time. You must make the most of the time that you have whilst you are out taking photos. If the weather is not right, use the time to explore the area, assess good viewpoints and work out what time of day will work best for the shot. Using a compass is invaluable in determining where the sun sets or rises, but remember that this changes with the seasons. Preparation and planning will help you to capture a successful photograph.

Composition
Keeping it simple and not cluttering the shot with too many elements is a good rule. By removing distractions from your photographs will help bring more prominence to your subject. It is also important to include some form of foreground interest, which may be your subject or it could be used to draw the eye towards the subject.
There is also a rule that will aid you in creating good composition, which is called the Rule Of Thirds. In photography, using this The Rule of Thirds keeps the main subject off centre, away from the middle of the frame. As a result, a photo looks more dynamic and interesting. Imagine your image divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines. Placing your subject where any of the lines intersect will help in producing a well-balanced image. But sometimes rules are there to be broken as well!
