Took the camera along to my sons Christmas party on Sunday. How hard is it trying to capture kids at a party, always on the bloody move!

These aren't the best pictures, but the best two I got on the day!

The wee fella was obsessed with that doll, should I be worried? :thinking:

I like the first one!:thumbs:
But maybe you could have gotten a little lower?

I agree that it would have been better taken from lower, but by the time I'd have got down there he'd have been off again :lol:

:lol: Not the easiest things to photograph are they :lol:
Did you diffuse/bounce the flash? May have slightly softened the shadow edges. Nicely captured, thoughtful expression in the 1st, well done :thumbs:

Thanks, unfortunately I only had the built in flash on the 350D! I have a Jessops flash, but the batteries were dead, that may have provided better results!

Yeah I know what you mean!:lol:

He's got great eyes though, he would look great with some close ups I bet!;)

I've got a "nifty fifty" coming in the next couple of weeks, prepare for overload on portraits! :lol:

I'm trying to get away from using the automatic settings and shot these in manual mode, they are a bit noisy, think I might have had the ISO a bit high.
