Taking & Editing photographs

“It can be a trap of the photographer to think that his or her best pictures were the ones that were hardest to get." ~ Timothy Allen

"Editing photos can often be the most difficult, but also the most satisfying part. Sometimes taking a quick look at all the photos, and then going away for a while before taking a closer look, lends a fresh eye to your viewing. You may see things you did not notice previously. Stepping away from the mass of photos can make certain images stand out in your mind’s eye, leaving a memorable impression that can characterize a good photo."

 In my personal opinion, I think that taking photos of kids is the hardest, because kids are so full of energy and want to run around and play. When I take photos of kids, I let them do their own thing. It is more satisfying to get a photograph of them in their own little world having fun, than making them sit down and pose. Encourage the child to play!! :) Some of the most fun photos I've taken were done by doing this very thing. It doesn't have to be hard to get good pictures of kids- I set my camera on continuous shot, and just snap several pictures in a very short amount of time. It makes a big difference!
