price on your first digital camera, and even glanced at its

owner's manual. Are you itching to take some shots of your

family, or what?



Slow down, soldier. Before you take 200 shots that seem great at

than what you expected, let's prepare. Prepare?!?! I'll bet you

thought charging the battery was the hardest part of taking

great photos, didn't you? Sorry to disappoint you, but if you

review some basic advice of the pros.



There are two categories of GENERAL ADVICE which applies,

regardless of whether you're using a digital camera to take

family portrait poses, baby pictures, pet portraits, group

pictures, funny photos, or even maternity portraits. The first

category is...



"Good Planning" Advice for Photography

Poses



1) Prepare For The Event



Prepare for the event by thinking about every photograph you

want to take and what kind of photography pose or poses you

would like to capture. Consider who, where, how, and the type of

environment.



2) Take Multiple Photographs



Take multiple shots of each pose (remember, digital memory is

reusable, a.k.a. "free"). Regardless of what you say or do,

people will blink. And don't count on spotting small

problems on the tiny camera LCD screen (even on full

magnification); which leads to...

3) Check LCD Screen



Check the digital camera's LCD screen for general framing of the

picture, any movement, visibility of faces, and the histogram.

Note that you can think up a fantastic photography pose; arrange

everyone perfectly; and, have the photograph "frozen" (no

blinking, and no shaking of the camera)...but, when you check it

out in the LCD, you see 2 drunks fighting in the background!

And, my favorite...



4) Funny Phrases



Have some funny phrases handy to use just before you take the

photo. Don't use it when setting up for the shot. And, don't use

the same phrase all the time. Throw in funny anecdotes, phrases,

names, words that you know your family will find more amusing

than "cheese." A natural smile looks four times better than a

fake one. The second category is...

Taking indoor family photography, is very different than outdoor

family photograph (duh!). For INDOOR pictures...



1) Wide Angle



You will tend to use the wide angle more often than your

telephoto setting. Pay particular attention to your "end people"

(those farthest to the right and the left in your viewfinder),

and verify there is enough space in picture, so that if cropping

is required, the end people don't have to lose a limb.



2) The Flash



Flash considerations are critical. Do not be outside your "flash

range." For example, if at ISO 100, your flash can properly

illuminate 12 feet, don't attempt any photography pose that

requires anyone to stand at 14 feet (unless, of course, it's

evil cousin Ira who you want to appear in darkness).



3) Plan "B"



If you need to be further away than your flash allows, here are

2 things you can try...First, increase the ISO setting (but not

so much as to produce to much noise), or second, move to a

significantly brighter location.



4) Watch Your Background



If there are distracting features, change your settings to blur

the background (see the Techniques page). The best photography

pose in the world won't look right with a distracting

background. And finally...



5) Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall



If there are mirrors or reflective surfaces in the background

and you can't find a different location, only take the picture

in such a way that the flash is not perpendicular to the

surface, but at an angle (unless you want a nice

photo of your flash).



Outdoor family photography has completely different issues. For

OUTDOOR photography...



6) The Sun



Avoid photographing in direct sunlight, or in mixed light and

shade, especially faces. Optimal lighting results from a

slightly overcast sky.



7) Shade

When photographing in shade, use fill-flash (see terms) when

necessary. And, really finally...



8) Beauty



If practical, take the picture at one of the beautiful natural

settings near you. Imagine the result of a creative photography

pose captured in a stunning environment. Can you say: "Over

the mantle!"?
