So my challenge is trying to get good shots with a newly walking toddler. Everytime I had the background right, she moved. I found that I was having a hard time moving fast enough to even get good snapshots much less adjust for composition. I started out down on her level, but she was just so fast, I couldn't keep up on my knees. lol. Any tips for taking these types of fast moving shots? Do I just need to be content with snapshot level in these cases and worry about composition when I can do a more posed shot?
1. Walking with Daddy - the background is the issue here. If not for the house and the sidewalk and Daddy's extra hand this would have been really cute but it existed for just an instant.
2. The big grin - I really hate that the tire and car bumper are in the corner of this one. I tried adjusting the shadows to hide it but it just made a big dark spot in the corner. I think it's almost less noticeable this way. It's a good snapshot, but with a different background it could have been awesome.
3. The bee walk - just thought this one was cute, but again, I think it's just snapshot level.
