The Children

I was white water rafting with some relatives today and I had a blast! Before we left, I was taking some shots of a baby in our group, Jude (no, he did not go on the river, that is irresponsible).Taking shots of infants can be extremely difficult; they need to be happy,playing, laughing or smiling, basically anything to give the product character, but you still need excellent composition. You will need a lens with a a semi-wide angle that can go anywhere from 18mm-55mm due to a constantly moving subject, also a lens with a wide aperture for faster shutter speed and a blurred background. Generally speaking a stock lens that usually comes with most dslr cameras can do the trick, but you main priority is your angle. Angles can make or break a photo, and in this sense,that angle is at eye-level. How I see it, everything works out well if you just work you creative side.
