Pretty difficult to do anything else...!I'm an auntie, and when my niece is around I panick: she's 2 years old, and she's fast, smart, funny, and she wants to do everything and to be the centre of my world...! My sister is learning now how to manage with her! Don't worry, everything will be ok!!BitterSweetRebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04870002303635357186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319455141108616381.post-82277553281132403072011-02-18T07:43:10.442-08:002011-02-18T07:43:10.442-08:00Yep toddlers are super fast - I used to work with ...Yep toddlers are super fast - I used to work with 21 of them (daycare). Have you got gates around your house? That could keep your son out of danger while you take photos. <br /><br />Jealous of your camera btw - wish I could afford an SLR camera - but one day I will and be a photojournalist (specializing in Black and White photography) :D <br /><br />Hang in there - inspiration will come and it happens at the oddest moments. Practice makes perfect!! And I loved the snowman pic!! Especially the background with the shape of the tree.StephMonrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404505196164482387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319455141108616381.post-79807362950182541992011-02-13T14:18:21.966-08:002011-02-13T14:18:21.966-08:00Thanks everyone!

I'm SO slow!!! <br /><br />That is good advice about accepting that I'm not going to get the shots I see in my head... They could be better!Ryann Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118809137389028433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319455141108616381.post-58642448805709407522011-02-13T13:22:37.002-08:002011-02-13T13:22:37.002-08:00chasing a kid around is actually a good exercise o...chasing a kid around is actually a good exercise once you get more familiar with composition and your camera's functionality. it will teach you how to evaluate shots before picking up the camera.<br /><br />try to master the manual functions. then you'll learn to see a shot, set your exposure and maybe even rough focus, and only then even think about trying to get him in the photo. then all you have to worry about is framing and maybe focus.<br /><br />all you have to do is keep shooting... it will become more and more natural, and you'll find yourself having more time for finding the shot you want. you'll also learn how to shoot fewer, but better, frames; and when to not worry about it because you're not going to get the shot you saw in your head!trey kazeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542409872915569761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319455141108616381.post-12358307722688600722011-02-13T12:30:45.622-08:002011-02-13T12:30:45.622-08:00It's only the 2nd month of the year so you hav...It's only the 2nd month of the year so you have plenty of year left to be artistic! One of my goals this year is to just get a blog! I have so many things I should share but then don't because I never take the time to get a blog!<br /><br />Good luck with the new camera! Jay was showing Jodie his camera on tour. Not gonna lie his is pretty awesome! <br /><br />Love the snowman!
