C &C is welcomed. I am new to the portrait/candid world of photography and got some practice in this weekend. Some constructive advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank You

Exposure is good.

You might want to get down to their level ... it is not always best to shoot down.

Keep an eye on the background ... move around to get the best background.

Thanks I will definately try getting at their level next time. The backround choices seemed harder, since the kids barely stayed still long enough for the photo. This was definately a challenge for me.

Children are a lot like shooting busy little bees. Just shoot a lot paying as much attention to detail and composition as much as you can. Definitely shoot multiple shots if your camera has a drive mode since they flit around so much. Also, for more candid shots try using a long lens and hang away from them and let them play from a sitting position and try not to let them see you shooting them. Of course sit in an area where the background will be good. That might help a little.

I really like 1 and 3 and are good for children shots =)
