Originally posted by Evolution I was thinking some more about this and there are a couple things which might help better convey the idea of running and bouncing. Assuming you don't want a head-to-toe shot where feet aren't touching the ground, you could shoot from an angle which shows space between the older sister's hands and younger sister's body... when the pair are on the downward half of a bounce and younger sister isn't actually touching older sister's hands. Even if you can capture that though, the separation might not be very clear in a photo... so maybe if you just shoot further from the side you could use the same type of layout you did here to create a sense of separation between big sister's hands and little sister's body?
All I can say about the shot is, you have got to hang around kids more.
Planning a shot is almost impossible because they move so fast.
I'm lucky to get anything that isn't blurred.
Hear the laughter, quick look to see them running, aim, shoot, shoot again, and again and there you stand watching them retreat into the distance, smile on your face at their joy.
You're done with that photo op. It took less time for the shoot than to read your first paragraph.
Open it on the computer and amazingly there is one good one.
