Cute Babies Pictures

1. Obviously, you can get amazing results using a high-end camera but if you have a point and shoot, you can still get really nice pictures. So try to borrow a digital SLR if you can but if you are not able to, your point and shoot can do the trick.
2.Use a tripod if you are trying to do group pictures.
3.Make sure that you keep all the individuals in a group about the same distance from the camera (the people in the front and back shouldn’t be very far apart). This will keep everyone in focus.
4.While creating the composition, look for simple backgrounds. Try to avoid clutter as best as you can. If you are going for a professional look, you do not want magazines and shoes lying on the floor. If you are outside, choose backgrounds like brick walls, trees, or water. Make sure there are not other people or things in the background that will take the focus away from the subject.
5.When focusing, take care to zoom in so that the subjects are filling the frame. Nothing screams amateur like having to squint at two small people with tiny heads in the middle of the picture.
6.The lighting in your scene will make or break the quality of the picture. If you are going outside, try to go in the early morning or right before sunset to get the warm, diffused light. Avoid hard light at all costs as this creates too many shadows and “blow outs” in the photo. If you must do it during the day, try to find an area of open shade, such as under a thick tree canopy (but watch for dappled light) or in the shadow of a building or other structure.
7.If you are taking the photo inside, you must find a large source of diffused light, such as a large window or the opening to the garage. You will not be able to get professional looking pictures using the flash that comes on your camera.
