Family Photo Shoot - How to Get Great Photos Every Time
What are your memories of a family photo shoots? Are they of dressing up in your best clothes and sitting uncomfortably for hours in a hot studio while being blinded by the camera flash? Or were you a bridesmaid at a wedding where you endured hours of being photographed in a dress that resembled a Christmas tree decoration? If so, then you may not have fond feelings for photo shoots. However, it doesn't have to be this way. Armed with a digital camera and a sense of fun, you might find that family photo shoot time can mean fun for everyone.
One plus with using a digital camera is that the pressure to get the photo right the first time is eliminated. If someone blinks or coughs or if your son makes donkey ears behind your daughter's head, simply take another shot. You don't have to print anything that's not great.
However, a digital camera can't perform miracles and some preparation before hand will ensure that family photo shoots go off well. First (and most importantly), make sure you know how your camera works. If you're not comfortable with it, practice first and don't get everyone together until you're sure you can work the camera confidently. This includes understanding how to set the remote timer if you plan to set up the camera to shoot on its own. Also make sure you have a tripod or some surface handy to put the camera on to keep it steady.
Play dress ups When choosing clothing for the shoot, organize it so everyone's clothing works well together. A simple solution is to get everyone into a white T-shirt and blue jeans or black T-shirt and black jeans or another combination that looks smart. Alternately, just plan for clothing colors that all work well together - all pastels, all darks etc. and avoid colors that clash or are similar but not the same. Settle for solid colors in preference to patterns or florals. Also avoid clothes with logos on them unless you're photographing a team and they're all wearing team outfits.
Location, Location, Location Scout out a suitable location to use. The local park in springtime is a good place to shoot because there are plenty of flowers to add color and there will be chairs and tables or swings and roundabouts that everyone can sit on. If you must shoot indoors find a room with light walls, lots of natural light and shoot on a sunny day with all the windows and blinds open. Also ensure you have an uncluttered and neutral background behind your subjects. Place people close to the light source to ensure they're well lit.
Never plan a family photo shoot at night - the flash will wash out the colors in everyone's faces and the photos won't be flattering. On the other hand, when you're photographing outside on a sunny day, turn your flash on (yes, On!) so it is forced to flash. When you do this, you will ensure that people's faces aren't marred by unsightly shadows.
If young kids insist on taking their favorite doll or toy with them, all the better - they will be more comfortable if they have familiar items around them. In this case, color coordinate the child's clothes with the colors in the favorite toy (or vice versa).
When photographing, spend time with each child and take a series of photos of them by themselves (with and without the toy). Pair up the children too and take photos of them interacting with each other. Provided you have plenty of storage on your camera's card, shoot lots of pictures taking time out occasionally to make sure they are focused and framed attractively.
If you're photographing active young children, put your camera onto sports mode to speed up the shots so you freeze the action and don't get out of focus pictures. Enlist the help of a friend to look after the younger children while you take photos of the older ones. If that friend is also able to use the camera, he or she can take photos of all the family together.
If your make your shoot fun and if everybody is laughing and enjoying themselves, you will get some wonderful candid shots that show your family as they really are. And don't forget to take plenty of photos - any empty space on your memory card at the end of the day is a wasted opportunity.
Helen's 4 best tips for great family photos
The family clown
When one of the kids insists on sticking our their tongue or acting up, allow them two or three shots doing just that. Then insist that they are sensible for the remainder of the shoot. Keep the "silly" photos in a safe place - you'll get your revenge when they turn 21 when you show off these photos to all their friends.
Nervous Folk
When someone is nervous and won't relax, try some funny exercises. Ask them to scrunch up their shoulders and face really tight then, on command, tell them to let go. Capture them as they relax into peals of laughter and you'll get a wonderful shot. Diverting their attention to something else while you take their photo can help too.
Move in (and out)
For more interesting photos take some up close and others from further away. Also vary the angle and shoot from front on, a higher position and then get down low and shoot upwards. Mix up your shots and have everyone looking into the camera for some and looking elsewhere for others.
Positioning people
Photos don't have to be taken using formal seating arrangements. Try everyone sitting on the grass or have the kids lie down and take the photo facing down onto them. Sit an adult backwards on a chair or cross legged on a table or look for other interesting and varied poses. Talk to the person you're shooting, tell them they're doing great and keep them relaxed - remember this is fun!

Now that 2010 is over and we are heading into a new year I thought it would be a perfect time to sit back and reflect on the best semi pro cameras of 2010 aimed at the high-end enthusiast/semi-pro photographer.
Here are the top 3 semi pro cameras in reverse order of 2010.
3. Sony A850
Although it's a very ugly camera in my opinion the Sony A850 is a well built and rugged DSLR camera. The A850 is very affordable seeing as it's a full frame camera and has an impressive 24 megapixel count like Sony's top of the range A900 camera.
One of the features that I like about this camera is that Sony has had the balls to get rid of all the gimmicks such as the pop up flash and live view modes. The A850 is made for the serious photographer and with no disrespect meant you wouldn't catch a serious photographer using either.
When doing research on this camera I found that a few photographers claimed that the A850 suffered at ISO and had a lot of grain present, however from a lot of usage I can tell you that this is complete rubbish and I found the opposite was true. The A850 can work at ISO 3200 with ease and the quality of the image is very good.
Studio photographers will get the most out of this camera as the 24 megapixels along with the full frame sensor allow for some really spectacular images.
If you're still on the fence whether to get the A850 then I have one more sentence for you:
A full frame camera for less than 00.
2. Nikon D7000
When released the Nikon D7000 was a highly anticipated camera and rightly so. The magnesium body and the full 100% frame coverage view finder where just some of the little added extras. The top features however that you will come to love are the full HD video recording, 16.2 Megapixels and a superfast 6.3 frames per second which is useful if you're looking to shoot sports photography.
There are so many features that I like about this camera, if I were to list them all you would probably have to read through ten pages of writing. Instead I'll give you a few and you can find the rest out for yourself if you purchase this camera.
If you shoot landscape photography i'm willing to bet you may have ruined a few photographs in the past by not having a straight horizon, this may seem like a simple problem to fix but when you're worrying about focal lengths and aperture values sometimes we can get the simple things wrong. In this instance the D7000 will help you out with its intelligent virtual horizon tool which tells you exactly when your camera is straight.
Have you ever run out of space when photographing an event? I know I have and it's a rookie mistake, however I often have a separate memory card to swap over and begin shooting again. Sometimes this can be too late and you may have missed the all important shot. Well with the D7000 you won't have to worry as there are two memory card slots that can be used to combat this huge problem.
The Nikon D7000 is an excellent camera and is highly affordable, you can pick it up with a kit lens for less than 00.
1. Canon 7D
If you have been lucky enough to have used the Canon 7D then you will know how great this camera really is. Although the 7D isn't a full frame camera it raises the bar on the crop camera so much that users using the 7D will no longer feel at a disadvantage to full frame users.
The 18 Megapixels are only 3 Megapixels less than the top of the range full frame Canon cameras. If you're a photographer who constantly likes to crop their images in post processing then you will absolutely love the 7D as it retains image quality and sharpness better than its competitors on the market.
The 7D has an impressive 19 autofocus points which make focusing a breeze. The autofocus speed is quick and very accurate and is much improved upon from the Canon 5D MKII.
One of the main features which I am yet to mention and is probably the most impressive feature is the super quick 8 frames per second in which this camera can shoot at. Sports photographers will love this feature which will allow you to capture every single detail as it happens.
Overall the Canon 7D offers excellent value for money and produces one of the best quality images across the semi professional range, all of this can be yours for less than 00.

Digital Backgrounds Can Transform Ordinary Photos Into Magical Portraits in Just 3 Minutes Or Less!
The thrill of taking pictures -always feels like the first time every time. Now armed with your ever handy digital SLR and taking your nth photo, you still feel that same level of excitement when you held that very first instant photo you took with your Polaroid. So the moment you felt that you can translate this passion for photography into something that can cover the bill, managing your very own home studio seemed like a picture-perfect idea. But after a month of having less than encouraging results, you are now starting to wonder if your home photography business can actually outgrow your home. With creativity, right marketing strategy, and digital backgrounds, we know you can cash in on your experience of being behind the camera and earn yourself a full time income working part time hours.
Dare To Start With Zero: Growing Your Home Studio
But what exactly are digital backgrounds and how do you use them to grow your business?
Can you imagine a photography studio with just a mere white backdrop - without the fancy painted backdrops and expensive photography props that you've seen other portrait studios? With today's advances in cameras and digital enhancements, we dare you to imagine the unimaginable. With years of working behind the lens, we know that a camera with one light, a reflector and a simple white background combined with digital photography backgrounds are the just the ticket that new home photography start ups need to become highly successful. We sure wish we knew when we were first getting started what we know now. If we did, we could have saved thousands on all of the unnecessary photography props, backgrounds and tools we thought were necessary to succeed in a home based portrait studio.
One of the very first things that you learn about browsing through your old photos is that photography is not always about having a great looking subject with just the right expression. More often than not, backgrounds can really make or break a shot. Our experience tells us that a background, especially when used in portrait photography, can set in the mood that you want to achieve or throw everything out off balance. That is how important backgrounds are in making a good photograph.
And just like the rest of the new photo biz start ups, you may think that the only way to improve your chances of gaining enough clients to cover the bills and earn a living is to
· Shop for expensive backdrops and props to attract customers who want creative studio shots. After all, kids love to play with great but expensive toys that are prone to wear out and break and your main clients here are parents who love cute photos of their babies. So what other choices do you have?
· Learn how to use sophisticated software, which not only requires your time but some serious cash when you enroll in a crash course so you can learn how to use it.
· Go outdoors and organize an offsite photo shoot. We could not agree more when you say that the Mother Nature provides the best background you can ever find. But bringing your client outdoors - and arranging a session outside - is downright impractical, especially for a start up.
You may believe that outdoor locations are free. But our experience proves just the opposite. Remember, time is money and just driving all the way to the nearest picturesque spot takes a lot of time off your billable hours.
We use to meet our clients at a park or the beach and despite asking them to dress in a coordinated fashion they seldom would. The kids would often get muddied and parents would get frustrated trying to stop their kiddies from running amuck and pleading with them to sit still so the tree branches over their heads would not appear to be growing out of their ears in the finished portraits.
These are definitely all great ideas. But start crunching the numbers and you will know that all these add up big time to your overhead. If you have exhausted your stash for rainy days, run out of family members who trust your skills, and faced investors who only question your ability to grow a successful photography business then we have some very good news for you.
What if there is an affordable solution, which requires only a little knowledge of user-friendly photo manipulation apps and takes less than 3 minutes per photo from start to printing?
What You Need To Know About Digital Backgrounds
Digital photography backgrounds are very flexible and easy-to-use background images and creative themes that replace expensive old masters and scenic painted canvas backdrops and they make many props obsolete. Digital backgrounds can be easily manipulated and eased into an image you took with your SLR to enhance not only a boring white backdrop but to literally take your subject out of this world. Ever wonder how can you add a bit of "Wow" to a studio shot? Why not put your subject in a whole new dimension like a mystical enchanted forest or a room straight from a Victorian castle? Digital backgrounds give you this flexibility and more.
Here's a quick overview of how you can shop for and use digital backgrounds with ease:
· First, choose a reliable provider. There are a lot of online sellers who will definitely try to sell you their stuff. And since these items are, well, in digital form, there are some risks when shopping for digital backgrounds online. Check their portfolio, read their terms, and check the quality of backgrounds you are buying. It is difficult to go after online sellers since most payment systems like PayPal do not cover digital products.
· Second, download high quality digital backgrounds. NEVER buy in bulk, that is, those that are bundled with hundreds of others. Why? Simply because you'll never know what you will receive - and if all are actually usable. Digital photography backgrounds maybe affordable and you will never have enough of them. But be practical. The key is to know your clients: Are you targeting moms who would love a picture of their children in a fairytale setting as fairies, pixies, wizards and such? Or the teen market who loves creative shots and wants a year book image they can be proud of? With this in mind, you can narrow down your choices and only shop for the backgrounds that your target market will truly appreciate and love.
· Lastly, open and use. Digital backgrounds can be used with Corel Photo, Adobe Photoshop, and GIMP, also referred to as Poor-Mans Photoshop. So how do you exactly use a digital background? Simple. Just open the image with the app of your choice, use the magic extractor tool to extract your subject from a boring background, open the digital background you have just purchased in the same window, drag the extracted image over the background, and, viola, in an instant, you now have a unique and creative photo that will truly impress your clients.
It's really just a matter of extracting your subject and placing it onto a digital background. The key to creating a magnificent work of art lies in how you can creatively blend the image with the digital background.
Honestly, using digital backgrounds is easy. However, creating a creative and flawless photograph is a process and a journey. But with heaps of free tutorials on the net, the whole learning process will only take days. You will be surprised with what you can create after just a few tries and will wish you had began using digital backdrops years ago.
Ready-to-use digital backgrounds give you an instant edge and leverage over your competition. Why sweat doing an all-nighter and digitally enhancing portraits one by one when you can just download an instant digital background in less than a minute? Aside from creating great portraits, digital backgrounds are also perfect for birthday cards, Christmas cards and christenings. Plus they work really great for a pet photography business. The possibility is really limitless.
