School pictures are something that scares me. Every year when it comes time for school pictures, I face a lot of money in advance for school pictures always pay poorly. The environments are boring fake smile and class pictures come in packages that force me, sizes, I really do not want to buy. So I started to save money and better pictures of the school, which have pictures.
Difficulty: Easy
Time: one hour, 1-4 days for the individual prints when you receive your print via email.
Here is how:
- Gather your materials. If you do not have a good digital camera, borrow or buy one.
Probably one of the biggest difference between the devices of a school photographer and a digital point and shoot camera is the flash. Professional equipment bounce the flash from different angles, making shadows. The camera flash has an address. You can not use at all, but to examine all the flash settings on the camera flash. Some red-eye reduction and other practical functions.
If you do not flash, can stabilize, causing the blur in low light produces tripod the camera.
- Choose a location and context. Daylight eliminates the need for a flash, so a place outdoors or near a window, but not in direct sunlight well. Just make sure that the light does not come to her son from behind.
You want if you to look more like the pictures of typical class your photos, you can use a simple background when a pristine white wall can also be sterile. A curtain or sheet can soften the background. Or use a painted wall in a subtle color.
Of course, because this is not the typical image of the school anyways, you can create a more interesting to choose to go on the farm background.
- Experience with an adult (or someone very patient.) When it comes to the pictures to see for children sections are short. The more you do, the more difficult it is to make you look or smile of course. The experience with the technical aspects of photography with someone more patient.
If your camera has a mode "Scene Selection", try the picture and some others. Use the Auto mode without the flash. Try the fully manual settings.
Ask., The camera on the larger file and make sure you have plenty of extra storage Sizes small to save space on the memory card, but photos do not print well.
- Agree on a suit and hairstyle for your child. Choose a comfortable fit. If you only take head shots, then you do not need shoes and matching stockings.
- Take pictures. A wizard helps you. Especially if your child is young, need help or keep your focus. Talk with your child or make jokes while taking pictures of the school will create more natural expressions.
Stand for too long can cause a case of agitation, so that your child sits. Angle your body away from the camera, but ask your head to look at you on. But of course. To prevent stiff and the image of the search, make sure that the position is usually comfortable for your child. Pull the eye level of the child, no one was looking.
- Offer photos to your computer and edit. Upload majority of digital cameras with image editing software, and many retailers, the photo printing services photo editing their sites.
The AutoCorrect can a professional to the harsh light flashes on a point and shoot to soften give appearance of camera products. In addition, many Red-eye correction and things can be rearranged in the background or cropping out of the entire body at the waist or just a whim.
- Print images. If you want to print photos to your printer, make sure your toner is low. Use high-quality photo paper too. Use the settings on photo printer has the highest quality. It is more toner and takes solitaire to print, but worth it. Toner and paper are not cheap, but still save money on the exorbitant cost of most class photos.
- Or send print photos School. Pages print Snapfish photos, CVS and Walgreens photos are just some of the many companies that you upload digital photos to print and to allow photos by mail. CVS and Walgreens you can download pictures from a local shop for service even faster.
And for comparison, Lifetouch, the company that took the pictures of my children's school, offered this year, two 2 "x3" and four 1.5 "x 2.5" Photo $ 9 less expensive your package. For $ 9.99, at Walgreens I can 20 4 "x6" photos to give three photo "x7" 5 three 8 "x10" and 20 other cities.

- Digital camera and more memory

- Sheet or curtain (optional)
- Computer with image processing software
- Photo printer having a large amount of toner (optional)
- High quality photo paper (optional)
