Classroom #2

Class is in session! This is the second in a 10 part series on taking better snapshots of your children, pets anything.

This months concept is "Keep Shooting and stop thinking"

The wonderful thing about digital, is you can shoot and shoot and you can SEE what you have before you spend money to develop! So, given all that freedom, why stop with 2 shots of your son blowing out his candles on his cake, just keep clicking! You will get some great shots, ones that are unanticipated. Rotate the camera, give yourself a new angle! You can peak at it before you develop it, so whats the cost? If you shoot, and enjoy the experience of taking the pictures instead of focusing on forcing the baby to smile, you will capture those "real life" moments. The beauty of photography is capturing your family and friends as who they are, so stop thinking about posing the perfect picture, instead capture this moment, as it is!

As you take the pictures, also focus on what you see that you like, and use lasts months lesson, GET CLOSER. These two techniques will change the way you photograph almost instantly!

Lesson- get your kids or pets outside, and try and take 20 pictures, just snap away, do you notice a difference? I would love to hear from you guys on this lesson too!
