Candid camera (aimed at young children)

[cosmom3]

This picture is NOT anywhere near the setting's Id like...but this kid sat here for all of 1 second so I just had to snap something.

I have an all new appreciation for shooting children, and am looking for some of YOUR candid camera shots of kids. We all know those are the best anyways

Now show me yours!

I think its a great capture, I don't really like those people being directly behind him, but shooting kids you have to take what you can get sometimes.

Stake something he wants to the ground and shoot him while he tries to get it.

Oooops, that's a baited trap, my bad.

I completely agree, they are a bit distracting. Originally I was just shooting this placid man made pond and that the innocent (very quiet) kid came about 8 feet away from me. Not even noticing I was there.

Looked to be a well behaved all around good kid. His parents called and he skipped on back over to them.

These are some of the home team (currently 3yr and 4yr old):

FISH! It's what's for dinner!

Must... finish... the juice...

Young street thugs, learning from Papa:

Sick. Very sick. Academy Award nominated dramatic performance.

On this shot my super-fast auto-focus got fooled by my grabby toddler

Happy Hannukah:

Ballons!

My first camera!

Nice shots. I like the fish bowl above.

My kid's first hair cut made for a great candid session:

Hehehe ... neither was the buzz. cutter... nor the scissors... brush... hairdryer... comb...
I don't think he liked the barber much afterwards... well... until she gave him a nice stuffed animal as a reward. After that... all smiles.

The first pic was before he knew that he didn't like what was being done to him.... pretty much went into full crying mode soon after... hehehe.. I posted this pic in the gallery a while back but it is appropriate here too.
