For the past couple of years, I've been making wall calendars as a church fund raiser and include a variety of activities. Next Sunday (22nd) the church is hosting a pool party for the kids. I think it will be held at someone's house so there shouldn't be any issue with taking photos of the kids--the parents sign photography release forms anyway.
The thing is I don't swim and am not knowledgeable on pool activities. There are two specific areas where I can use some suggestions:
1. How to use discretion for adults who don't want to be photographed in bathing suits. This would involve cover ups or discretely placing kids or objects in front of them. Any suggestions on what to use or how to place people who don't want photos in bathing suits would be appreciated. Tight shots is the only other thing I can come up with.
2. Fun photos. Obviously I don't know what types of games kids play in the pool. I'm thinking of getting all the kids in a group in the middle of the pool and have everyone splash lots of water (while I am a safe distance away with a LONG lens). Getting tight shots of their faces at the edge of the pool. Any suggestions on how to incorporate pool noodles--what the heck are they used for anyway Other fun photo suggestions would be appreciated as well as any suggestions overall.
Please feel free to show your ideas. Any helpful hints and tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
