[QUOTE="marce, post: 175768, member: 10684"] That is one reason I got back into photography, to snap the Kids (7) and Grandkids (8), there are a few sample photos of these critters on my flickr. I would still recommend a reasonable flash, though you can use the on camera one. I use the Yangu I mentioned earlier and when using it on camera bounce it off some surface or use a mini softbox. This helps eliminate red eye and gives a less harsh light than direct flash, in fact I try never to use direct flash, they can look ghostly. With the little darlings I set the flash manually (£58 no TTL) and shoot in Manual mode using 1/160 -1/200 shutter speed, it avoids camera shake and any movement by the kids, for the younger ones I will use continuous AF and set drive mode to constant and try an get 3 or 4 shots as they usually move. For the really fidgety ones Velcro is useful:) (only joking, no kids have yet been velcroed to a chair in any of my photos yet!) Have Fun [/QUOTE]
