How to take classic full month photos for baby

When my baby coincided with the full month time, I want to give her a piece of exquisite commemorative photo, her quiet and cute appearance, but again don't want to bother her to go out. So we decided to choose an appropriate scenario at home, a simple layout to build sweet moment, left us precious memories.

Necessary conditions of safe sleep

Taking pictures of quiet full month baby first choose a relatively spacious room, a comfortable environment for baby, that she was able to sleep. At the same time, also facilitate our spacious space and background view, takes a closer shot.

The laid of the dark background

Because want to highlight the full month baby's skin soft and simple sense, so I chose the feel is very soft dark brown background blankets, facilitate pressure dark surroundings to highlight the baby.

Look from the perspective of the baby.

Comfortable sofa becomes the best space

Taken full month baby, need to be at home to look for a very comfortable soft environment will put her up, through observation, I think the sofa of the sitting room is the best film space. But the back of a chair of sofa and seats in the middle of the gap it will affect the picture, so I chose a dark flannel lay on the sofa, set up a baby's own small home studio. Background cloth must be spread when laid flat, if it has a lot of fold, images can appear delicate enough. You can also prepare some lovely costumes and props for the baby, for a variety of filming

When shooting the light source in the home only dome light, such will encounter the problem of insufficient light, the other is quite stereo light levels. This time might as well in the film space placed around a desk lamp, lighting, of course, can't direct the baby, then can let mother ACTS as a camera assistant, help holding a desk lamp beside it, according to the wall above the sofa, the light will be reflected on the baby. Pay attention to the light according to the location of the baby, is the most suitable light source position.

Also pay attention to the parameters of the cooperate, of course, if the image will make warm yellow light, selects the M block, set the aperture to F4, shutter speed of 1/100 of a second.

Lock the focus in composition

As a result of this film I choose background is dark, and indoor light was not as strong as natural light, so it is difficult to film when a focus, can choose the right focus before composition. Single mode we choose AF - S focus, after good choice to focus in the viewfinder, and move the camera on the composition, the most appropriate in the AF difficult scenes. When shooting, you can press the AE - L/AE - F key lock the focus.

Big hands holding little feet
