What if your are shooting a kid that hates the camera?

No.. for me! It makes them laugh.. especially when the hat "talks" to them! Definitely gets their attention!

I bought my 2.5 yr old a digital camera. She and I now take turns shooting each other! She used to be like your daughter.

That is actually a good idea!

This may sound corny but when i'm shooting a family gig I usually ask to shoot a few of small children first while they are still shy with me, and neel down on their level and show them the back of the camera. They seem to be into it during the hole session afterwards. Parents happy, birds singing.

I do the exact same thing. I feel I am best working with kids. They love me and a friend of mine called recently and said her girls wouldn't stop talking about me and wanted to come visit

I am not good with kids even though I have one. With my own I take 1000 shots and hope for the best, sometimes bribery works. With other people's kids for some reason they're not so shy and like me, I have no idea why though

Funny! I am putting in a new VM based Exchange 2010 server over the next week or so.... So my MS buddies gave me a tee! lol! Not looking forward to migrating the users from the 07 server as it is in Bakersfield CA.. and we are in Denver! Even with 100 megabit MPLS.. that is going to take a while!

Have them hold there favorite whatever. Have them hold it high or low or upside down or hug it. Don't have them always looking at the camera or holding still. Have them run towards you or away. Have them jump or crawl. Have them pretend they are an animal and then have a third party guess at what animal they were. Have them look sad or angry or happy. Have them yelling, but without making a noise. Have them make themselves into a letter , like X or Y or C or T . In other words have them do anything besides posing for a photo.

How much data?
I've done my share of Exchange migrations over the last 15 years. They're always fun.

I've done my share of Exchange migrations over the last 15 years. They're always fun.

About 200 users.... some large mailstores, and public folders, close to a terabyte of data. Shouldn't be too bad! Trouble is I am also going to 2008 AD.. (temporary hybrid mode until I can get all the old 03 servers off the network)... doing them back to back. Want to get that stable first.. but clients are hollering Faster, Faster! lol! Don't they always?

Hmmm. Both of my girls are camera hogs so I'm not sure hah! I do a minimum of 1/125 ss for kids, preferably faster even if that means bumping the ISO. Try to not make her pose, just get her doing her thing for awhile.
I let my 4 year old shoot with my camera sometimes, and she has her own as well, so that might help with her ok-ness of being shot.

My daughter (also 4) hates it when I get a camera out ... and don't give her one as well.

I have to give her a camera to use while I'm taking pictures of her most of the time, or else she is constantly trying to get behind the camera - "let me take one, daddy!"


She also has no concept of minimum focusing distance, lol. She thinks she needs to stand like one foot away from the camera.


And, of course, they never sit still long enough to focus...

My last one was ~33,000 users.
Good luck!
