Photography could be a challenge

Photography of kids could be a challenging task, because they usually do not like to pose in front of the camera, especially when they are busy with something they like. For example, like playing with other kids. Everything happens so quickly, which makes it extremely difficult for the photographer to capture the moment. Therefore, many of the pictures are obtained blurry and out of focus.

Children make funny faces when they are playing. When shooting, it is best to catch the moment when they are focused on something. This will be very funny and cute pictures. Laughter and smiling children's faces, always makes fascinating images.

Avoid using flash, use a high level of ISO, maximum shutter speed. Try to make them ignore you and your camera. Ultimately, beyond the technical details, it all comes down to timing. 

Few helpful hints: be patient; be ready; use natural light; choose carefully your focus mode; do not try to manage them. Photography is to be in the right place, at the right time and with the right lens.
