Photographing the Birth of a Baby. What suggestions do you have for photographing the birth of my grandchild? Such as: lens, filters, flash and film. I have a Nikon F100 and several Nikon lenses. I also have a Tamron 28mm-300mm, which I thought would make things easy. I usually shoot outdoors, so this will be different for me(along with the excitement of it). Thanks for your help, Nancy 5/26/2002 4:37:40 PM |

Last year I had the opportunity to visit a dear friend who had just given birth to a baby girl. In my opinion, the shots I took with black and white film were by far the best. I loved using Ilford HP5 Plus. I used 400 speed so I wouldn't have to use a flash (which meant I didn't annoy the baby with bright lights). The black and white film resulted in even, soft skin tones in the prints of both newborn and very tired new mom. I found a charming shot of the baby sleeping in her crib using just natural light from the window. Keep it simple - you don't need to have anything extra like a stuffed animal in the shot. Try to keep the background as free from distractions as possible. And don't forget to take a detail shot of just a tiny hand or sweet little feet. 5/26/2002 5:37:54 PM |
