Baptism Christening
Any tips on photographing a baptism/christening for a beginner?
I have a month to learn the best ways to make my pictures better. I have taken some nice pictures in the past and have read up alot on it lately, I will be taking practice shots until then and have read that when indoors that I should choose a high ISO…any other tips?
Id like to use a nice 35mm camera
the baby being baptized is 2 years old
I use a Canon Digital Rebel EOS 350XT. It is nice because the chip can honestly go to ISO 1600 without a lot of noise. Some suggestions:
I use a Canon Image Stablized 28-135 mm lens. The Image Stabilized is great because you can hand hold longer exposures in low light. It is my walking around lens. I can go from close up (135) to wide (28) fairly quickly. I shoot at Av (that is, I keep control of the aperture and let the speed take care of itself.) I do not like flash.
I also use a 50mm f/1.4 prime. Now that lens is bright! I can open it to f/1.4 and shoot in very low light. You have to be very careful and focus on the eyes there. Everything not right on the plane of focus will be out of focus. Still, it is a beautiful lens.
If you are going to use a flash, buy a good one and get a Gary Fong Omni diffuser. Flashes are still bad but the Fong diffuser makes them gentler.
Write me if you wish to chat more.
