PHOTOGRAPHY TOP TIPS

If you're taking photos at a Playday event, check out our five top tips below to get you started.

 

1. Think about what you want to 'say' before you start.

Do you want to show what things were there for children to do, do you want to take pictures of adults as well as kids doing crazy things, or do you just want to show how much fun everyone was having?

 

2. Take your photos from unusual places.

Think about different angles, like lying flat on the floor or even up high from the top of a hill. Taking photos through long grass can look really fun and interesting. What other ideas do you have?

 

3. Get up close or move far away.

You might want to get quite close to take a picture of a single happy face or step back and take a picture of a crowd.

 

4. Take lots of shots.

If you take lots of pictures, then you can choose the ones you like the best for your report.

 

5. Have fun!

Don’t spend the whole day taking your snaps, make sure you have time to join in with the fun.
