How to capture children's energy and mood

As the growth of the age, I more and more think it can find fun from small children. When the children around you to run, if you can get this energy capture, it is a matter of how happy thing. Several of my niece and nephew what often appear in my viewfinder, took lots of photographs of them for so many years, I also accumulated some experience at the same time, I want to put their innocent and lively nature as much as possible, to share with everyone.

Try to tell a good story

Photography is the most important elements of the picture behind things, why do you want to shoot this scene, for example, why do you want to take the character, at the moment what shutter press in and so on. I think the pictures of the average person is the most common mistake is to say: "smile!" , a smile may deliberately hide his true feelings at that time, on the contrary if your child is in a comfortable, quiet state, quickly snapped off. If he were angry stare at you, can be photographed; If he is in the wall and very annoyed, can also be taken down, don't always put children at a desired state, the film should wait interesting things happen, rather than just arrange your desired scenario.

Experiment with different composition and lens

Speak of the portrait, you will think of use a telephoto lens to shoot? Generally do not. If you are using a simple digital camera automatically, you can try different lens focal length, to produce the effect of different zoom in. Pictures are not necessarily face and body, you can draw characters and scenes together, such as a tree, or zoom in, only part of the film face. I prefer a fisheye lens, so that can put the characters and prospects for many things are included. You can try different shot composition form and the lens focal length is set, this will make your work more colorful.

Control the light

In photography, we often use some auxiliary lighting or flash, actually still can use some other light source to produce special effects, such as a flashlight or candles. You can try to illuminate only part of the child, such as the face or hands, so that we can produce the result that mysterious. If a child was moving, you can use the curtain sync flash and chase for technology, after this child seems to be clear and bright, and the background is colorful, has obtained the very good falsified. Backlight effect in general use less, but with appropriate can produce beautiful silhouette effect.

Release inner pure nature

Under the pressure of work and study every day, recall, how long you did not explicitly to play. I think the best way to get a good photo is relax, don't give yourself pressure, not to say that every time to take good photo of epic proportions, it is good to just go out for a walk on. Don't shoot at all from the Angle of normal standing height, best reduce your point of view, try from the height of the child eyes to see the world, this photo below, I and my niece Lora rotating together, mellow dynamic background. Take another piece, together we jumped down on the ground, photo as very positive, but taken from under the nose. Photos don't be afraid to jump around everywhere, best can interact with the children, and you are shooting for one, release inner vigor.
