Then, it seems, they can't come in through the sliding patio doors often enough. Threatening doesn't work. Most kids know by the time they've turned 10 we parents don't really live up to our threats. Bribing doesn't work. There's simply not anything a kid wants badlv enough to merit staying outdoors for. Tricking doesn't work either. Even if we trick them into going outside ("Did you kids see that giant condor flying over the Willobys' back yard?), most kids have such short memory spans, they've forgotten why they've gone outside even before before they've gotten there. And then, of course, it's back inside for re-briefing. ( have a solution. It's viable any time ot the year, winter .through fall, on any lype'of day--sunny,and warm to freezing ' cold. It's called dress up: Remember?'But-you can" make'it;' even more fun, more challenging, by taking photographs of : the kids in' costume. Perhaps even have a best-dress-up con- : test, in which the winner wins a chocolate-chip cookie or an extra ride at the amusement park. Another benefit of having your children play dress-up for the camera is giving a self-conscious or overly shy youngster the chance to ham things up with abandon while getting used to the "friendliness" of the family camera. In order for dress-up to work, you'll need some costumes (which need not be anything more than the most outrageous clothes you can find in your wardrobe plus an umbrella, hat, scarf, costume jewelry, etc.), a plain, uncluttered background, and a mirror so the children can admire their creative handiwork. handiwork. And, of course, a camera with electronic flash. While dress-up works with one, it's even more fun with two or mote children. They may all be your own, or your child can ask a friend or two over for a few hours. Depending upon the age of the children, you'll probably want to limit their activities unless you're there to supervise. Remember: lipstick doesn't easily come out of a silky cotton dress ... no more so than black shoe polish rubs out of lightweight denim pants. If you can limit the items the youngsters have to choose from, you'll actually make dress-up easier for them; they'll have fewer major decisions to make. And you can go about your business, peeking in from time to time to see how things are going. When all are dressed, have them pose individually or in a group. II shooting against a wall, have the subjects stand forward eight or ten feet so the shadow from the flash won't be so pronounced. If you have an instant-print camera, usé it. The kids will get a kick out of seeing the results immediately. Otherwise, you'll have to explain that it will take a day or two to get the film processed, then it's simply a matter of finding an impartial judge to mediate the contest (or, to prevent hurt feelings, the competition just might end in a tie). Here are a couple tips to help you take the best photos possible. 1 ) Hold the camera steady to eliminate any motion blur. If possible, mount the camera on a tripod. 2) While the children should stand reasonably slill for the shooting, electronic flash has a short enough duration to "freeze" minor movements, resulting in sharp photos. 3) For a more interesting shot, do all your shooting from chidren's-eye level. . . approxfmately the height of the children's children's faces. 4) Take several shots of each pose. In that way, you'll have plenty of prints to go around .. . some for the family album, some lui the kids, and a few left over for very appreciative grandparents. 5) For even more interesting shots, take a few candids of the children in the act of getting dressed. You can even capture capture their reflections in the mirror as long as you stand at an angle so that the Hash doesn't bounce back at tho Ions. Givo il a try. It's a fun, easy, sure-fire way to get some, loir-quality, endearing kid shots. And don't bo surprised if it ends up being one of your children's most favorite activities. Give your kids something to do and help yourself to precious photos liko this one. PHOTOGRAPHY CUSTOM FRAMING VAKGE5 phot ° 4* V 1 HOUR EXPRESS ^ PHOTO FINISHING 31 KINIi ST. W.
