Wow! This dad has talent!
Not often a person can turn out pictures of "the kids" that could draw an audience.
Thanks subby! This gave me something fun to share. :-D

Still no tips on how to take photos of other people's kids?

This is the ad that came up.

Parents, pay attention, this is how you Photoshop photos of your kids and turn them into AWs.

Telephoto lens for outdoor shots.
For indoor shots, you'll want something shorter, but not too short because you don't want the images looking distorted.

Damn, duct tape would be easier than the nail gun. Daddy's sorry kids.

What's his FARK handle?

Great find, Subby!

The 'shoop is strong, with this one.

good stuff...

+1 to the Dad/Son

Ok, those were fun. I especially like the one with the 'for dummies' books. I could have used those growing up.

/Want to have more fun with kids and photo's? Give your kid a camera phone and let them have it. My daughter had the wifes iphone and took 100 pics of herself making different facial expressions while coming back home from north ga. Some turned out pretty damm funny

/thumbs up to the link. Good stuff.

Thanks for the input, prat.

They look like a fun bunch.

some of those are interesting, but I wonder how much time he spends processing those things in PS or whatever tools he uses. Probably be time better spent with the kids...i'm sure grandma would have been just as happy with regular pictures, probably would have gotten more of 'em too (and been able to see the KIDS better too)

I can see it now...


"ok kids, hold still"

*snap*

"ok, go play by yourselves for 3 hours while dad futzes with photoshop"

/just sayin'.
//guessing a lot of it was to advert his business as well

Bathia_Mapes: While I think those photos are absolutely adorable, if you're going to emulate this guy, make sure you use a digital camera.

I can pretty well guarantee that if you used film and had it developed at a store, you'd end up with a visit from CPS over the nature of some of the pictures.

Yep, those girls look miserable.

What is with people who can't enjoy one little thing in life?

those are so cute i just wanna throw up from the cuteness.
very creative

Some good photos in there, but too much reliance on photoshop.

That's some good stuff. Dad obviously has some skills with PS but it doesn't hurt that his kids are pretty darned cute, and obviously willing to go along with some silly stuff. The "dummies book" pic could be a good selling poster.

Or maybe the kids had fun staging the pics and maybe they learned some Photoshop along with dad.

If the kids are the ones generating the ideas then that means they probably enjoy it.

This made my Friday so far.

I'd have to agree with Bathia_Mapes. Have seen quite a few parents/grandparents scrutinized by CPS for taking innocuous pics of their kids in bathing suits, bathtub and other scenarios. Not saying that some of it isn't warranted but these days it's a crap shoot.

Oh, those Asians and their cameras....

Or, you know...maybe he does that stuff when the kiddies are in bed. Being kids, I imagine, as with most kids, they go to bed quite earlier than the parents.

/lighten up, Francis

Insulin, STAT!

/pretty cool, worth the click

My kids sled down our stairs almost daily. Those are some cool photos. Some decent photoshop skills and some real nice shots. Wish I could take the time to make some like this.

What a great way to start a Friday!

Oh, fer....

This is at least the 2^nd time, if not the third, this same guy's same photos have been posted as "oh look, a shiny!".


/not being critical
//just not an original thread...still

Anne Geddes, you have nothing to offer, GTFO.

BUT THEY'RE SOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE (SQUUUEEEEEEEE)

What's the matter, don't like photodiabeetus? Don't like optically induced sugar coma? Need your insulin? What is it? Your eyes crust over in frosting? Is it gas? Well? How could anyone not just love those two adorable little darlings? Are you saying you're not part of the Occupy Womb movement? But, CHILDREN, there's CHILDREN on the other side of that link, you know, the prime directive, man: to reproduce, then take snaps of it for "likes" and cuteness-fellation.

ArcadianRefugee: Oh, those gay guys, with their adopted Asians kids, and their cameras....

FTFY

That little one is hot.

schattenteufel: That little one is hot.

Remind me of this guy and his girls in twelve, fifteen years. I want one.

Where's the cartoon of the guy taking pictures of the kitty?

"hey screw you buddy, go buy your own chinese kid like the rest of us!"

Those pics are cute as all get out, but this is the best way to photograph a child:

/and when they become a teenager, close the bung hole
//hot

I prefer candid shots that actually show my kids personality as opposed to overly posed photochops that have nothing to do with my actual children beyond using them as set peices thank you very much.

Thanks subby! Great way to start the morning! Will share!

Jack31081: Some good photos in there, but too much reliance on photoshop.

Agreed. The coolest setups look real and don't need modified pixels.

This one from his blog is awesome as well.
