Also try to shoot from his level. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photography-mamas-how-to#post-530627 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 23:10:55 +0000 tequiero21 530627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @stargal: how do u do back button focusing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photography-mamas-how-to#post-530238 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:47:58 +0000 stargal 530238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>use a fast shutter speed to get shots of him moving so that your pics dont come out blurry. learn about aperture and shutterspeed and how they work together will be a good basis of how to use the camera. prime lenses are your friend and are good in low light. and agree @blackbird back buttton focusing is great to use...<br /> online resources check out digital photography school and pioneer women. both have great free tutorials and articles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photography-mamas-how-to#post-530217 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:20:13 +0000 blackbird 530217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use a prime lens with your 5D and back button focus. It'll track your LO for you and keep him in focus better than your other options </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photography-mamas-how-to#post-530145 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:47:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 530145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same thing as ArtBee said.

I just keep taking pictures, and yes ill have a million bad ones, but usually one or two of them will turn out good at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photography-mamas-how-to#post-530124 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:22:15 +0000 rachiecakes 530124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always taken a decent picture but am SO challenged when it comes to DS. I'm not talking like, backdrops, staged, that sort of thing. Just like, daily candid type stuff. The little bugger moves so fast! </p> <p>If you're into photography, did you take classes? Read tutorials online? Any tips you could pass along?</p> <p>Also - DH is a part time photographer for minor league hockey teams, so I have a Canon EOS 5D that he's passed on to me, with an assortment of lenses. No clue where to start. </p>
