Anyway, will good photography technology, techniques and the combination of the right shooting time, you can get precious child family photos. Let's follow Jenny Martin together in the house of his cooks Lyle, jointly held a period of photographing the master class children.

(1) Natural personal studio

To natural images of children, the first rule is to let them stay comfortably in their environment. Although most of the kids at home are very comfortable, but in his home, dark and light clutter background will be a challenge for you. Park is usually the best choice, they can be wild frolic there - the natural children pictures for you provide a good opportunity.

(2) Children's photography techniques

Use telephoto lens. It is clear that the use of a longer focal length in the shutter speed is not high will increase the blur caused by the camera shake. Use shutter priority mode, make the shutter speed is greater than the reciprocal of the focal length is very important. Using a 200 mm focal length, Jenny selects the shutter speed of 1/250 of a second. Zoom to 300 mm; she will set the shutter speed to 1/350 of a second. The focal length to 70 mm, she will make sure the camera shutter speed of not less than 1/100 of a second.

If there is a flash (most SLR cameras have built-in flash), you can use them. In our photos, it illuminates the Robyn shadow on the face, and let her eyes appeared beautiful highlights. If to shoot, flash frequency may be able to keep up with the shutter speed. Don't ignore it, and then shooting. Whether to use the built-in flash or external flash, they are set to TTL mode, and then just shoot. With the lens will be closer to the characters, facial expressions, you can not only show the children still can blur the background. It can also keep you away from children, let children indulge in their own world, to forget you are shooting them.

(3) Capture the movement moment.

Jenny's house from a view of the west coast of Ireland there are only a few minutes, so soon after, the children ran to the beach to play. When they focus on their own things, we took some photos of magic and vivid. In order to get photos of a series of dynamic, we will switch camera to continuous af mode. The lens can continuously in the process line of about four per second shoot. The most important thing is to set the children's action, we use the shutter priority mode, and will be focusing on children, no matter how far the distance to the camera. We also ensure the high-speed continuous shooting of the camera, can enter the shutter speed to 1/500 of a second, everything will become still like the picture.

1. Prepare

After set up the camera, the next thing to do is to prepare for the action happened. Put your fingers lightly over the shutter button, always keep staring at the viewfinder, waiting for the best time to come.

2. Clear imaging

Let focus always aim at the children is very important, there is a place where you want to keep clear. Continuous autofocus method can give full play to the role, and then it can guarantee the movement of body sharp imaging.

3. The predictive

Along with the action, what will happen next? Current behavior may suspend, and will probably continue to grow. If the opportunity arises to press the shutter, then you may miss the good opportunity, for the development of the action has foresight.

4. The highlight of the action

Picture 4 is the best. Although Christopher closed his eyes, but he run posture is so exciting. Jessica jumped away from the sea, it is mouth laughing. As we try to let them in the middle of the picture.

5. Too close

Continuous focus now demanding, images become less sharp. The child's arms and ran out of the viewfinder, composition become very messy, let the pictures severely damaged. At this time, a good time to have missed it.
