When you find a good option, guide Kids to play there to capture a satisfying picture. If indoor light is insufficient, you can also consider adding external flash to undertake auxiliary.

The composition of the picture is simple and clean

When Kids are playing, there may be a lot of toys, books and other sundries on the spot. It is suggested that mothers should try to make the picture as less sundry as possible when they are shooting. Kids can be trusted to get closer and their view of nest or close-up can be taken to make the subject of the picture clearer. Kids can also be highlighted to some extent in a shallow depth of field when shooting in aperture precondition or manual mode.

Use the combo mode wisely

When shooting dynamic characters, even shooting mode is also indispensable. It can realize multiple shots, which can not only reduce the failure rate of shooting, but also sometimes capture some super natural pictures.

Don't rely on the P model

See this a few word, may make some long-term dependence on P mode mother feel pain, but just like Kids weaning, decisive quit P mode, especially when shooting in the indoor environment, use aperture priority mode can make a better effect than P mode, in capturing the Kids dynamic activity, shutter priority mode can also make you more than P mode.

Use your child's imagination to convey the joy of photography

While having fun, the mothers can also prepare costumes in advance to make it easier for the Kids to get into the situation. Either way, patience and communication are important, making the activity fun for the kids and giving them more opportunities to shoot later.

Also, don't forget to share photos with Kids, and give them occasional praise or even small rewards to motivate them when they do well.

Don't always call Kids "smile one" or say "Cheese"

Interested mothers, try substituting a smile and a Cheese for "come here, look here". "And see what the end result looks like.

Some experienced photographers say they find that Kids smile more naturally when you ask them to look at the camera than when they are guided by a 'Cheese' or 'Cheese' smile. Add props to your camera or phone, if you need them, to encourage Kids to smile.

Enter a mirror to accompany the child, leave happy drip record together

Mothers who love to take pictures of their children don't always hide behind the camera, sometimes try to walk to the front of the camera, using a tripod with a phone remote control or a selfie reading function to release the shutter. Or ask other relatives and friends to take photos with their daughter to capture the memories of accompanying their children. I believe this will be one of the beautiful memories of his childhood when he grows up.

Don't be in a hurry to delete the photos and upload them to the computer before you get a clue

During filming, in addition to the obvious error pictures, other advice is don't be so quick to delete, after finished after the reading from the computer, then delete, because some of the photos in the camera's LCD screen is hard to judge what is good or bad, may be within the camera preview feel not good, but on the computer to see when found the interesting parts of the picture.

Tell the video stories properly
