cameras are pretty amazing little creations .
A single megapixel camera,
for example, will produce shots that are ideal for e-mail sharing and
for 4x6 prints. On the other hand, a five-megapixel camera is fantastic
for prints up to a full 11x14 inches. The reason for the difference
is the quality of the digital file. A lesser file will become grainy
when the image is blown up. The five-megapixel camera's shots, however,
maintain their appearance. Another consideration a buyer should make
is the size of the storage device used for the camera. Rather than film,
digital cameras use storage cards. These can hold a whole lot of pictures
- not like a standard 35mm roll. A 256 MB card, for example, can hold
about 415 lower quality shots. That's a whole lot of film!

Photographing Children: Here's 8 Easy Tips
| |
.
I think we'll all agree that children do
not want their photo taken unless it invvolves fun
of some sort or at least a reward. So, what do we
do? One make it a game of some kind and avoid it
looking like a chore. Having said that, the best
shots seem to come from being quick with the camera
when certain events are happening or there's a lot
of playing or action going on. If you find that
they are distracted with something, this can also
be a good time to break out the camera.
Here are some points to remember,
1. Try and have them involved.
Photographing children will be that much easier
if you get them into the process. Don't boss them,
encourage them with a reward or something on the
table they can see that they will get afterwards.
Keep referring back to it.
2. Choose your location carefully.
A child will respond better if the shots are taken
somewhere where they regularly have fun or somewhere
that is familiar. Taking a child to the beach, or
a park, or similar can create an awesome background
and also arouse their curiosity allowing them to
walk and investigate while you're snapping away.
3. The need is speed!
Children don't like to sit still long so make it
happen with clicking fingers! You can fix up your
errors later. Keep shooting even if they pull dumb
faces at you, some will be excellent later and there
will be moments in between.
4. Patients is a virtue.
Rarely will you take your best photo straight away!
Attempt saying funny things while your aiming and
try some different techniques to stimulate their
imagination - just keep shooting.
5. Choose your equipment wisely.
Stay with digital because you can make amendments
later and forget the tripod. If you start fiddling
with lenses and filters etc. They will get bored
or cranky. Have your gear ready before the child
is there.
6. Get down to earth
Try and shoot at eye level at all times. Shots taken
from above are lazy and give photographs that are
very pedestrian.
7. The closer the better!
You need to capture those wonderful expressions.
Once you've established some familiarity with the
child, get in close.
8. Finish on a good note.
Let them take a picture while you hold the camera
and give them a small token of thanks. Polaroids
are good for this purpose.
