Also, you should adjust the settings on your camera, so you
can get the best color in your photos. If you want a more saturated color, you
should over-expose the photos by 1 to 1 ½ stops. Easter is a holiday that
children decorate Easter Eggs, so be sure you capture the memorable moments as the
dye is being added to the eggs.
You should shoot with a long lens, select a low ISO, select
a wide aperture, and set the mode dial to AV mode. An external flash should be
used to fill in any of the dark spots, and let the camera automatically pick
the shutter speed. Also, don’t forget to take photos during and before the Easter
egg hunt begins. Another fun thing to take photos of is your child’s
expressions while they are decorating Easter Eggs.
The best lens to use is an 80 – 200mm, and use the meter and
spot metering mode on your child’s face. Sometime’s expressions can ruin a photo,
so make sure you take many photos to be safe. If your child doesn’t like having
their picture, be sure to have the aperture at f/4 or f/5.6 for the correct
depth of field. As a photographer, you need to get the subjects eyes looking at
the correct part of the camera. If you want a shallow depth of field, a telephoto
lens will need to be used.
Always make sure your subject has on very nice clothes
because it will increase the design of your photos. If you don’t have your
camera set on full automatic, make sure to keep the aperture at f/11 or f/16.
The sun gains strength is the spring time, and this will keep the clothing
looking sharp, and make the colors pop. After the Easter egg hunt, be sure to
take group photos.
Easter is a very fun holiday and you will want to capture
those moments in your photographs. Remember keep the f-stop low, the shutter
fast, and the ISO low for the best results. And remember, not every day you can
take photos of your entire family in really nice clothes, so this is your
chance to capture beautiful Easter photos in the springtime sun.
