Morning mummies,
M2B,
I agree with Minnie, It is abt the passion in photography, if u think u just wanna take good pictures of the kids then point and shot camera can also do the job. Those clear subject and blur background effect can be achieve in most digi-camera. May be u can go thru ur camera manual and see how it can be done. One simple and quick way is to try out the Macro function. I used that when I need to shot close up. It creates the blur background effect. It works on taking picture of pple too. Another function is the protrait function, most of the digi camera have this function now. It also create the blur background effect.
if u want good and clear pictures, rbr - there must be good lighting. On all the lights if u wanna taken pictures indoor, even on daytime, set the ISO higher. I think most digi-camera allow ISO of at least 800. Always try without flash 1st cos flash just spoilt the pictures. Even since I attended a niteshot crash course, i realised the camera take wonderful pictures without flash.
For Janelle bday party on Sunday - I took most of the pictures without flash, on all the lights at home but my speed have to fast if not the object will still blur.
U go and find out the function of the camera 1st and try out lor before u dump the $$ for a DSLR.
Chris,
I havent got my extra accessory yet. May want to get a filter and a protrait lens. Is PF interested, may be buy together will be cheaper.
Stylo,
My MIL n mum were crazy over chubby kids. I hope my friend daughter was not scare by the old folk. My Julian is only 13.5kg, he is on food strike now. Reduce his milk intake, refuse to take meals. Hopefully he eats in the cc today.
