Indoor low light or at night because then easy to shake so blurred photos, the solution can make use of the camera and lens shock, as well as reference information on the safety shutter.

3) open the flash
Newborn baby eye development immature, before six months old should avoid using the flash. Even older children, I do not like to open the flash. Because:

The effect is not natural (unless the use of external flash)
Is not convenient enough to hang out with
I like natural light
The child would go to bed at night, there is nothing good shot
18 Parental photography novice mistake that is easy

4) Exposure (brightness) allowed
There are two main reasons: metering mode, and exposure compensation. Depending on the brand, different metering modes have distinct 'temperament' dark time when it would mean if the photo is not suitable for metering mode. I am accustomed to use the central metering filmmakers. As for exposure compensation, depending on the environment, if the darker, then they have to -elf; the more light, then the opposite will be + ve.

5) White Balance are not allowed
Similarly, the camera's automatic white balance individual brands have different tendencies, and now most of the cameras have a white balance fine-tuning function, greater use. When necessary, can be preset white balance (such as daylight / fluorescent tubes / bulbs) or manual white balance. Do not forget to be restored after the set.

Shooting at full length, then pay attention to the child's body has no part in the off-screen; best or headshot, then cut the proper position.

It does mean that the child has no head or neck a distinct horizontal line that looks like the head and body separated, influence perception.

This is what happens in the light or uneven color temperature of the case (as showed on both sides of a different color temperature). The solution is to use a flash or reflector, or in some cases told the children to move one step or turn angles can be avoided; the problem is that many times we just for children living fragment record, not that they shot put, there is no way to control them location and convenient to use additional equipment. So if there is no so-called right. They can get a shot, do not be too concerned about looks good, the most important is the parent-child and child ride time.

11) grimace
Sometimes kids inadvertently made some less 'artistic' expression, for example, rolling his eyes, mining, etc. Tsui crooked, accidentally shot, then delete it (unless you want a souvenir).

Some novice are not intended to camera composition vertically. Horizontal photos are down; like using a mobile phone camera straight down, like always. Remind yourself that the appropriate time with a straight back and a cross down. The effect will be better.

17) the subject is too small or too large
Keep a little similar to the novice may not be subject to think about the big shot or a little smaller. It's just raised the camera will shoot. With experience, this situation will gradually improve.

18) into the dust
Finally, if the SLR or no reverse, to pay attention to when you are given the opportunity to change the mirror dust floating into the machines included in the sensor; if found photos shaded by unknown, very likely into the dust, to clean up. The method is very simple internet search.
