Do they speak?

[btgc]

Inspired by raid, who is posting a lot of children pics, I decided to burn a roll on event, spent together with kids. For simplicity, I went with GSN because of it's automation and XP2 because of cloudy day.

I'm not seeking for appreciation, rather for some constructive thoughts, ideas and maybe, suggestions. From other side of river there's always different view 🙂

I've flickred several pictures (link is narrowed to this event only)

btgc, IMO, you should lower your camera view more often to where a child would see the world around him/her.

I also suggest you get closer to your subject and isolate the action and child from the larger world, which distracts and minimizes the interaction of the child, the focus of their attention and the photographer, resulting in too much 'clutter' or irrelevant information in the photographs. Children generally strike a personal note in the viewer and this should accented in photographs.

I hope this makes sense and helps some.

Thanks Eli, I agree on level from which kids are photographed. Those from adults level aren't best, most of times. Now I realize that I had difficulty with framing (in head) choosing between kids and adults. Have to take pictures more than I do.
