Photographing kids

Yesterday at the ZOO, I was also able to shoot a few children as well. Those little folks make for quite cute pictures, whether it's their playing and action, observing something, or just generally doing whatever they do. Some of these shots are not very sharp, but I like them anyway. Unfortunately, with kids, all you get is snapshots. There is no time to set stuff up properly, and think much about the picture, so luck matters, too. Kids are at their best when they don't know about the observer, and are occupied somehow.



Or these two guys playing wildly at the drinking water fountain:

This type of photos has a wonderful acceptance rate, too. These are five of seven kids photos I shot yesterday, and all are of at least decent quality. This may be luck, but I feel like it's just easier to capture this kind of photos.
