Thank you for the warm welcome to the Photography Board! For the past year, we've been planning to take our DD to WDW for her first birthday. A couple weeks ago, I decided to jump back into photography after a 15 year hiatus. I'm having some technical issues with shots that I'm hoping someone can assist me with. I've been so inspired looking at some of the Disney photos posted here, and with your help, I bet mine will turn out half as good.
1. Can you see my shadow? (Look near baby's feet) What's the easiest way to avoid this when shooting "over" children?
2. I've got a Canon Rebel XTi with the stock lens and battery grip. Should I seriously consider purchasing another lens and filters before next week? I've read other threads about traveling with DSLRs, and I'm a little concerned. How much gear is too much when we have to consider all the baby needs we'll also be traveling with? Any DSLR Mama's out there with tips for traveling with camera gear and baby gear?
3. In the same photo above, my DD isn't as clear as I would like her to be. How can I change this manually? I'm not a big fan of the landscape mode on this camera.
4. My Flikr page is, http://www.flickr.com/photos/lottferg/ Any tips you can give to help make these better so I can be certain to capture some magic next week would be greatly appreciated.
Much appreciated!
