FSO: Children

 While we were photographing the Ibans in the longhouse, some of them were photographing us. I like the faces of the children. They were LOLing at the city and Canadian folks trying to balance on their gang planks.

 The Jurong Birdpark is my favourite place in Singapore. Despite the heat, I took my nieces and nephews and grand niece and nephew.

 Busy at work, niece Angelina is helping prepare an organic meal of sweet potato aka kumara leaves.

Children at work and at play. Sorry, the grown children came along in the last photo, I wanted just my nephew Jonathan. Guess what the guys were watching?

 8/10: Children

Thanks Rebecca, I shoot children often in school. Just shot out own Olympics game. pity I am not allowed to share with on the internet.

Photographing children can be a challenge, 

but also lots of fun. 

Here are some tips we posted previously.

Get on their level!

Your photos will improve dramatically if you photograph 

children at their level 

rather than the standard adult looking down on the child. 

No Posing. 

Rather than trying to get posed shots,

let the kids play

and capture WHO they are

not just what they look like.

Continuous Shooting.

Children are active. 

Set you camera to the Continuous shoot option and 

capture a series of shots of them at play.  

Play Simon Says.

Simon can suggest actions 

or facial expressions that are fun. 

And when someone goofs, 

the reactions are fun too. 

Give them Something to Do...then SHOOT!

Blow bubbles

Coloring in books 

Peek-a-boo 

Reading 

Eating an ice cream cone 

Playing ball

With a Pet

On a swing 

Giving hugs.
