Photography Tips
Monday, July 20th, 2009Alamama here with today’s photography tip. We have a digital point and shoot camera. I was really fine with it until, while on a field trip, I saw another mom snapping rapidly away, catching each move of her kids. Then my hot little point and shoot didn’t seem so grand! My kids are at the age where they don’t like their picture taken, so I get a lot of turned heads, half of their running bodies, etc. However, a new camera is not in the forecast yet, so I have grown to love and appreciate our point and shoot.
If you have a point and shoot too then this is for you. Here are some of the tricks I do to get good photos.
*Take a lot of photos. You’re bound to get some good ones.
*Crop, look at your photos in a different perspective.
*Use your settings. My favorites are the close up, auto and the setting for action.
*Have your camera nearby. When you see your kids doing something memorable turn your camera on and have your finger on the button. Hopefully you’ll catch them before they realize you have the camera.
*Hold your breath, especially for the close up shots.
*Have fun.
I hope this helped!
