Ten Photography Tips let you keep children grow up screen

Parents will feel the children growing up too fast and they will grow in adult a twinkling of an eye, children in different age stages have different appearance, expression and action, so I like to use photography to record the course of their growth. Purpose is not only depend on the photo finish in the process of their growth, but hope they grow up to know to cherish the family member and the value of time. So, I think one of the pictures are moving, on the surface composition could be considered good or bad or can capture the important moment, but is, in fact, it depends on whether it can reflect the photographer and the subject of emotional expression. For their kids to grow up through our photos for them, parents can make them feel thick love! So we should have a good sense of timing, take some beautiful photos for the children.

First, with the capture mode, capture the most natural moment.

Children at different ages have different reactions to the lens, but also usually have one thing in common - do not looked at the camera as you wish. Is really looking forward them the lens, are worth us to press the shutter? Since we want to record their life, should be more capture their natural moment. So you can try to capture it, don't mean to call they looked at the lens again, instead of waiting for them at home with her family or playing beside quietly, capture their most natural moment, it won't take some photos of some hard or smile far-fetched.

Second, pay attention to the Angle of view, grasp the kid's field of vision

A photo is beautiful, usually also have great relationship and the background of the photo. So if the scene is a beautiful environment, we can try to absorb more background when shooting. Standing but many parents are also used to take a picture for children, for children than we also small, we stand will make pictures of the shooting Angle downward sloping, lead to photos most of the background into the ground, a waste of a beautiful background. So we should try to squat down during production, the perspective of the lens and the kid's eyes are on the same level, so that they can absorb more background, make the background of the photo is more rich. In addition we can squat down bottom, sometimes even more up slightly, the camera photos come out feeling like children see adults and world view, the effect will be a surprise!

Third, attention not only to children

If completely put the photos in young children, will let us ignore the background and the surrounding scenery, causes that should be taken, should not be filmed and photographed. So we should have meaning of children's surroundings, front and back, left and right sides, for example, we are going to shoot children playing in the Disneyland, you should put it in the background are photographed together; Kid next to a trash can, avoid don't get it, the picture can express you want to say the story and not be too messy.

Fourth, pay attention to the theme of pictures you would like to express.

When I practice composition, I often ask myself: I take what is the purpose of this picture? Whether to let the person know kids doing? And so on questions, clarify our purpose, so as to use photo composition, depth of field, the shutter, finally make pictures they want.

Fifth, pay attention to the horizontal Angle of the picture

Novice parents sometimes also less attention to be taken when the camera is level Angle, make the photo frame. If we cut the image tilt, especially for composition is understandable, but if we put this kind of habit, each shot also inadvertently skew around the camera is not so good. Finally had the composition is neat, the picture is balanced photos to make people see more comfortable, you certainly don't like watching TV when the picture is tilt?

Sixth, pay attention to the picture frame

In order to record the kid's dribs and drabs, we can use a wide Angle lens man and scene of the whole body photos, so it can show their interaction with the environment. But when the whole body photos should be reserved for children of up and down or so more space, don't be too close to the edge of the picture, for children to avoid photos with oppressive feeling. Even if taken when put the kid's small part of the body in camera, photos can give a person feels unnatural? In order to enrich the diversity of the entire group photos, we sometimes need to take some pictures, then we will decide the children those parts of the body to the outside of the lens. Taken when we want to avoid the children joint parts such as elbow, knee, ankle and other parts intercepted at the edge of the screen.

Seventh, tic-tac-toe composition method

When shooting what position we should put the children in the picture? If it is new parents, no idea during production, the most basic of tic-tac-toe composition law is a good choice. If we average cut into 9 portions, central has four interlacing point, on the vision of the four interlacing point in the images of prominent position, so when we see photos, will be the focus of more attention to these places.

Eighth, pay attention to the camera setting.

Children are restless, so you need to pay attention to reasonable camera setting. To shoot a clear photo, then we need to pay attention to the shutter speed. When we are holding a camera, our action is inevitable there will be a shock happens, if the shutter is too slow, will be easy to make fuzzy photos. When the longer the focal length of the lens, image problem we shake then more severely, so the focal length and the shutter speed has an important relationship. Then how should we decide the shutter values do not make blurred pictures? We can decide according to the safe shutter speed.

Security shutter representative under different focal length, with relatively shutter values will take clear photos, the calculation method is:

Security shutter focal length (in seconds) = 1 / (mm)

For example, using a 50 mm focal length, then 1/50 of a second for the safety of the shutter; If use 200 mm focal length, then 1/200 seconds for the safety of the shutter; Please note the above shutter values just to ensure that the general case, shaking in the security don't clap a fuzzy photo shutter. If you shaking badly, the only solution is to increase shutter speed. For me, if not with long focal length, in the general case I will shutter to less than 1/80 s as far as possible, because take a clear image is the most important.

In addition to safety outside a fast, and now some lens also equipped with shockproof function, like Nikon VRII optical shock absorption function, based on the motion of the lens to make up for the hand shake, because of the lens mobile space is larger, so the best damping effect. Damping effect to achieve three to four shutter speed. So if we are not in safe shutter for underexposure when shooting, the camera can also help a shock absorption function, make we clap a clear image. We tend to use big aperture to clap a shallow depth of field for children with photos, but too much aperture to the depth of field is too shallow, if the focus is not accurate or children move too fast, will be easy to make children face fuzzy photos. It is best not to often aperture open (e.g., f / 1.4 ~ 2), or a wide-angle lens can be used to reduce the depth of field.

Ninth, continuous shooting mode

Children are active, some lovely expression or action not captured by clicking the shutter. So sometimes we often need to adopt the even mode type, according to some more shutter speed to capture the perfect moment. When they play, for example, we can through the camera beside the slide viewer has been "tracking" the kid's movements (such as the long focal length lens is better), as far as possible increase the shutter speed, even under the same action in their number of pictures. Returned home from serial fast, just select one of the most can photos of emotions and save, delete and not beautiful, then you won't waste storage space, and cannot miss out on opportunities to capture the perfect picture.

Tenth, make toys into props

Key to the success of children, is whether can capture a moment of their most childlike innocence, so in addition to exposure, composition, color and cooperate the elements such as atmosphere, at the end of the day, the most important is how to capture the children every subtle expression and action. What time it is a good time to capture their beautiful face? Of course is the time to play! So we can take their favorite toys or prepare some small thing, let them while playing.
