Capture The Moments.

Tell the

story by taking shots of arriving

guests, capture expressions as

the cake is brought out, even

take behind-the-scenes shots

of the kids sitting and playing.

Some cameras feature an LCD

screen which lets you see the

action in real time, and this adds

a personal level to your shots.

Be Prepared.

Always have

charged batteries and an extra

memory card ready to go.

Work With Existing Light.

In

low light, start by adjusting ISO

to a higher setting. This works

especially well when shooting

birthday candles and twilight
shots.

Or use the fill flash option
when shooting indoor action
like blowing out the birthday
candles.

How to take great

birthday photos.

Add Artistic Touches.

Create

visual effects by selecting

preset modes on your camera,

or manually adjusting the

aperture, trying different

angles or shooting through

objects like tree branches,

windows or even balloons.

Did You Know? Aperture is a fancy word that simply

means how blurry you want to make your background.
