i enrolled into one photography outing for ibu2 and these ibu2 were to take pics of children, be it their own or others. in my case, i so happened to get my son in my group, so i got to take his pics and other adorable kids. it was organised by famous photographer, adhadi and a great children photographer, zubye. and it was held out in lake garden at the dino park (well, there were hardly any dinosaur to tell u the truth, only one or two replicas and few dino eggs hehehe)
frankly, i didnt understand a thing when adhadi was talking about shutterspeed, ISO, and anything yg sewaktu dgnnya. when i asked my husband, all he said was - 'well, they were all related to lighting - just listen, ok' - duhhh... hahhahah
so... what i can say about the whole experience was, dear, you need damn A LOT of patience when taking pics of children, just like what zubye said! and once you understand and YOU blend with the children.. the pictures will be marvellous!
enuf said, and technical matters put aside, let's just enjoy the pic! :D
end of story.
