When a new baby is born, most parents want to capture the moment in the form of a beautiful photo. That is why mom will go to a good studio for a reliable photographer. Did you know that a good photoshoot can be done alone? The results can be similar to having a professional photographer. These five tips for photographing your own baby have similar results to professional photographers. Check it out!

✅ Make sure the camera condition is used optimally

Make sure mom’s shooting equipment is in the best condition. For maximum use, use a DSLR or Digital Single-Lens Reflex type camera. This is to produce good photos in the style of a professional photographer. Learn the best settings that can be used to target babies in all conditions. Either indoors or outdoors.

✅ The moment the baby quickly passes, the mother must use a fast shutter setting

Newborns have erratic movements and are quite fast. Of course, this makes it difficult for mothers to capture the right moment when photographing babies. Moreover, if your little one is awake, we recommend that you set your mother’s camera settings with the shutter high enough.

The higher the shutter speed, the more likely the camera will capture the baby’s best moments while on the move with your partner and other family members. Guaranteed, your photos will not be blurry or blurry.

✅ Use natural lighting so that the photos look good

Generally, professional photographers will use photo light to create the best lighting. However, the mother did not have the equipment at home. Relax, you can still trick this problem, really. Just take advantage of natural lighting, aka sunshine, by photographing your little one in a location near the window.

You can adjust the background and composition of the photo yourself. You can also use house lights, you know. It’s a good idea to take pictures of your little one in the morning or evening. At that time, the sunlight looks good in the photo. In addition, at this time, the baby is generally in a waking state.

✅ Direct your little one to get the best photo angle

One of the challenges of photographing babies is finding the best shooting angle for your little one. Babies can not be directed to be stylish. So, mothers have to position themselves when photographing it. Try close-up or close-up photos of the baby. Take a position parallel to the body. Surely the picture will be better.

✅ Keep shooting until you get the right frame

It is also important in photographing babies is to take as many photos as possible from various angles and occasions. Don’t just try to get one perfect shot. Hold the camera and watch the baby continue to move from the camera hole, wait for him to act.

If there’s a good moment, shoot as many as you can. No need to be a cheapskate about taking pictures. This is because mothers use digital cameras, which do not need to take into account the amount of film. The more you take pictures, the better chance you have a lot of memories with your little one.

When routine makes you saturated, holidays are one of the effective healers. Different atmospheres and scenery can calm the mind and regenerate a new spirit. Fortunately, this world is very rich in beautiful natural charm. In various parts of the world, you can easily find mountains, beaches, and even interesting local atmosphere.

Not only that, but the following locations are also known to produce photos of beautiful landscapes in the world. Come on, find out the 18 locations below!

✅ Antelope Canyon, United States

The Arizona region, United States, has the most beautiful canyon (valley) in the world called Antelope Canyon. This natural charm is formed from the erosion of the Navajo sandstone through flash floods and sub-aerial processes (the formation of objects on the ground). The faster water flows automatically increases the volume of sand, which continues to grind into the basin path.

This area is divided into two parts, namely the upper Antelope Canyon (the Crack) and the Lower Antelope Canyon (the Corkscrew). Although the temperature tends to be hot, it is not uncommon for Antelope Canyon to be hit by sudden storms or floods. Therefore, visitors who want to enter are required to use the services of guides from local residents.

✅ Sea Cliffs, France

Apart from being famous for the Eiffel Tower, France also offers a variety of natural charms that are no less beautiful. One of them is the Sea Cliffs which is on the west coast of this largest wine-producing country. This limestone cliff in the Eretrat region has three beautiful arches formed by the erosion of the sea waves. As a result, the hollow corals that form are the main attraction at the Sea Cliffs.

Uniquely, when viewed from a distance, the shape of the cliff will resemble an elephant standing on the edge of a white sandy beach. If you are interested in seeing the uniqueness and beauty of nature here for a long time, you can spend the night at several luxury inns around the beach. You only need to prepare around IDR 2 million for rent per night.

✅ Panjin Red Beach, China

Generally, you will find white or brown beaches, but it’s different from the Red Panjin Beach in China. As the name implies, this beach actually has a red color on the sand beaches. Not an artificial color, the red color of the sand is produced from the sea-blite grass, which covers the 6,000-hectare beach area.

Even so, you cannot see this view all year round. The reddish color of the grass will only appear towards the fall, from September to October. Not only that, being a habitat for about 260 species of birds and 399 animals, Pantai Merah Panjin is also still limited to the public. So, keep up the cleanliness when you visit it!

✅ Aogashima, Japan

Aogashima is part of the Izu Islands, located about 300 kilometers south of Tokyo. This area is a crater resulting from a volcanic eruption that erupted about 200 years ago. Usually, tourists will do hiking or sauna activities at several available steam points. Although quite remote, the island is equipped with a school and post office for local residents.

If you are interested in visiting Aogashima Island, you can only reach it by ferry or helicopter. Even so, you must always be careful because the volcanoes on this island are still active and can erupt at any time.

✅ Glow Worm Cave, New Zealand

Glow Worm Caves or Waitomo Ruakuri Caves are some of the most popular destinations in New Zealand. Inside the cave, visitors will be presented with a beautiful view of the sparkling lights like stars at night. However, who would have thought that the light came from a collection of Arachnocampa Luminosa worms (glowworms) which can emit green and blue light in the dark.

Not only that, but you will also be amazed by the beauty of the limestone cave, complete with unique stalactites in it. This cave is open every day starting at 09:00 local time, and you only need to pay a ticket of Rp. 380,000 for adults and Rp. 176,000 for children (4 – 14 years). Later, you will get on a boat to go down the river in the cave.
