Thanks for stopping by, Blue Rose, and I’m glad you like the blog. And I like the title of your blog; very appropriate!

Good luck with the baby photos. Like I wrote, it’s not as easy as it seems, but it’s very rewarding when you get that handful of precious photos and see the parents’ faces when they view them.

I just found your blog, and have really enjoyed reading through it. I found the Baby photography article particularly helpful as some close friends just had their first baby yesterday, and I rather optimistically volunteered to take photos as my baby welcoming present.

So finding your post has been timely indeed!

I am only a beginner to photography and reading up as much as I can, going to put a link up on my Beginner Photograph Blog to your site, its both fun and educational

Great article and great photos Mis. You outdid yourself on this one.

> Turns out babies are cute over the medium or long term,
> say over a minute or so; but in 1/100s, they can look
> like scary aliens

Two things to say to this.

1. If you think one minute is the “long term” for a baby you have obviously never ever been a father.

2. Here’s a little secret. Babies are not cute. Ever. Kids are cute. Toddlers are cute. Babies are just aliens, pure and simple.

A place to come back often Miserere, well done. I did a birthday announcement card of a 14 days old baby some days ago and the most difficult part was getting her with the eyes open because she was so sleepy after drinking.
The Pentax DA-50mm macro worked well and I admit that I used flash as well

I was even so cruel to take a photo series of her brothers reaction when he did not get get any more chocolate eggs.
