Elena Shumilova A.K.A Photographer Mom Shares Her Techniques For Photographing Kids Russian Photographer and mom Elena Shumilova became kinda famous when photos of her kids and family went viral in early 2014. In total her photos were views over 60,000,000 times (and I guess they were viewed outside her profile some 60 million more). Something about her photography struck a chord with almost everyone, photographers, mothers, father, young and old. I guess the innocence and feeling of childhood that projected from her photos were just irresistible. Elena shared some great advice on photographing kids with the crew at Smugmug and agreed to share them with DIYP readers. 1. So you catch your kids in the perfect moment — they’re outside playing and laughing, the lighting is just right, and you see this perfect picture you want to capture. They see the camera. What do you do? When photographing children, the single most important thing is to photograph them often — every day. You can’t just do it sporadically, or they’ll freeze up as soon as the camera comes out. 2. 3. Newborns

Spark - Lensbaby's Store Spark is a perfect entry point into the Lensbaby system for young photo enthusiasts, photography students or newer photographers who want a fun way to break out of traditional photography. It's a fun and affordable way to capture selective focus images with a DSLR. Spark features a unique selective focus optic and a tilting lens body, allowing the aspiring enthusiast photographer to capture creative images in-camera that have a sweet spot of focus, surrounded by blur. It is a lightweight, all plastic (except for the optic, which is a multi-coated glass doublet) 50mm selective focus lens with a f/5.6 fixed aperture available for Canon and Nikon DSLRs. Spark is compatible with the rest of the optics in the Optic Swap System*, and with all Lensbaby 37mm threaded accessory lenses. *All current Lensbaby optics will fit but Spark is not recommended for use with the Sweet 35, Sweet 50, Fisheye and Edge 80 optics as these optics are heavy and it is difficult to hold the lens steady and focus.

Horses on Black Backgrounds | Indianapolis Equine Portraits — amy latka photography When I first started making portraits of horses on black backdrops, I started in the barn door space. A lot of times this was out of necessity. For example, if you're forced to shoot during the day when the sun is overhead, the last place you want to have your client is in that bright sunlight. An arena entrance or barn aisle entrance where you can easily open or close the barn door as desired. The key to this type of photography is to understanding the relationship between light, shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Step 1: Time for the first part of our shoot: killing the ambient. I usually start with these settings and make adjustments from there. ISO: 100 (increasing this makes the picture lighter)Shutter: 1/500th (increasing makes the picture darker, decreasing makes it lighter)Aperture: f/4 (increasing the f-number to f/4, f/5.6, f/8, etc. makes it darker) Take a picture with these settings from where you'll be standing.
