Can't Handle the Flash, Hey?

We need a new camera. This happens more than often, ruining our Kodak moments!! Stupid thing flashes 50 times before the picture gets taken!

Hi Katherine, It's strange that you are talking about needing a new camera - I'm currently attending evening photography classes!

A piece of advice our lecturer gave was to avoid using flash at all - esp when photographing babies and children. Place them in natural daylight, or facing a window. Then you get a lovely, natural skin colour and rounded features! If you must use flash you can soften the effect by fixing a tissue over the flash or buying a little cover for it!

I have a piece written on photographing children on my Squidoo Lens, (www.squidoo.com/digital-photos/)

Also, I can recommend a couple of great books if you want! The difference it has made to my pictures is amazing - no more washed out babies and I'm even thinking about setting up my own studio in the future due to all the positive feedback I've had from family and friends based on photos I now have on display at home!
