first birthday party shoot questions

[nikkid562]

now to go through all 700 of them

Ahhh, the digital age. No one knows how to "look for the shot" anymore. : /

People still look for the shot... The only difference is that nowadays people do it after the shoot instead of during.

hahah precisely.​

I shoot loads, too, even in the studio. Specialising in dance, I'm looking for the combination of facial expression, movement and position. I don't mind the process of elimination because the difference between a crap facial expression and a money shot can be a fraction of a second. It's hard to capture the spirit of a dancer unless she's actually dancing. I'd think a kid's birthday party is similar.

yeah i know, especially because everyone is nervous with taking pictures so when i'm taking pictures of more than one person, one of them is bound to be blinking so i have to take like 5 shots of the same group. thank you for your response. ​

Groups can be a nightmare! I shot a group of 12 dancers last year and despite taking a gazillion shots I still ended up swapping heads around from one image to another to get one where they all looked good.
