Thats why he's smiling. I am sure you will do great! I really though a lot about compositions when I did these, so I focused on that, instead of "uh am I gonna do something wrong" lol. And in my head I was telling myself, zoom closer, zoom closer, dont do pictures with their feet on it. We started at a playground, where mom and dad helped the kids playing, I had a zoom and told them to try to ignore me being here. Then I asked the big kid if he would show me him riding his bike. And after that, we went to the other place, were the portraits were done. The kids I got up on a big rock for their portraits (did those with the 50mm). I also did this one, which could have been a good image IF I had noticed that dad did the classic "picture-pose" with his head. Darn it. [ATTACH]41063[/ATTACH]We did the pictures in 1 hour, then the kids were mentally off, thats a good experience for me, I didn't know how long kids were able to stay focused. So I should have done the portrait of them all before. And I should have looked closer on the camera screen, to see if everybody were looking and not making faces <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I must say, I am not the biggest fan in the world of these "everybody looking straight into the camera" pics, but thats obviously what people want. Looking very much forward to seing your pictures! Its somehow nice to have someone here being a little new to this category too, hopefully we can trait our experiences.</blockquote>
