Big feet, little feet

orangepekoe · 7th May 2008

posting for critique for the first time:

please comment on the composition - it's one area I'd really like to improve on, especially since I mainly take photos of kids (babies/toddlers) in candid situations.

Here I was trying to capture the contrast of little feet/big feet, thought it's a little tight since I only have the 85mm lens for now.

thanks!

Time for BBB virus and get a 50mm.

Too bad the big feet is clipped off. Try shooting landscape with just the two pairs of feet in the frame. No need to show the baby in the background. Also this might work better as a series.

i agree with m3lv1nh0 on showing only the feet. no need to draw intestine when drawing people right.

than again, love the yawning.

Bro, you can go to the library to look for books on how to photograph children and babies. They will give you tips and suggestions. I find it very useful and it should be very good for you too. Cheers!
