Baby Me Baby!

[haikumania]

OH I just saw the video links! HOW ADORABLE!! the video's are so clear and they load very well!! How did you accomplish this?

I just compressed the videos using Sorenson Squeeze and published them as .swfs...then I just load them into a container clip once you click the thumbnail. I go ahead and load the whole thing before I play them so there's no interruption., but you could just as easily start to play them after a certain percentage was loaded and probably be okay. The controller I just downloaded from somewhere...can't remember where.

It's nice because my audience (family) mostly has broadband, so I don't have to try and make things too small.

I just had a look at Sorenson Squeeze. It looks like a very easy to use program. Thanks for the info. Now, if I can just learn a bit more about this "Streaming" stuff! LOL Granny that I am, it take a bit for me to catch on! But I am learning. ;-)

Thanks again for sharing such great work and some beautiful fotos!

[haikumania]

Thanks for looking...you know a proud dad can never have enough people looking at his beautiful kids.

[MsPamela]

You certainly have a lot to be proud of! Great work and beautiful children.

Now, you would think the rest of FK would be in here Boasting ummm... I mean Posting!

Hi,
Now that MSPamela encouraged me to look around here, I've registered as a member and try to post a picture I took a few weeks ago. The boys are sons of my brother- and sister-in-law, and while one of them is playing a game on my PDA, the other looks as if to ask: when is it my turn?...
The foto was taken with a Sony Cybershot F828, with extra flashlight turned sideways.
Hope you like it!

[MsPamela]

WOW! Look at those blue eyes! Great job PiCoNL! Welcome aboard! Hope we see a lot more of your work here in the forum.

[nordberg]

well, coop just turned two...does that qualify?



too bad we can't post images from past weeks.

[MsPamela]

Nordberg, OH HOW CUTE!!! I love the one of him looking out the doggie door!! And the pumpkin patch one should be framed!! simply adorable!
btw, I added a bit of wording to the rules... Maybe this will help get some more fotos in here! LOL Rules can be changed! In fact, it might be neat to see some older with the new! Oh and "Baby" is not defined with an age limit!

[nordberg]

thanks MsPam, he's a fun little fella

those shots of Isabel are really cool. the overal palette is amazing, and she really seems to be acting herself. you can really tell in that second shot. you've obviously have a rapport with her. cool stuff.

aren't kids really fun to shoot? they almost make it easy. like everyone's shots here, getting down on the child's level is a great way to a great shot. a lot of communication is eye to eye, and it's certainly no different when you are seeing through a lens.

great info in your opener. this place rocks!

[MsPamela]

Thanks Nordberg. She is as most children at that age, a Ham! My son calls her our little Hambone!
I was pleased with the colours and how even though they are not your normal "child" colours, they accented her colouring well.
Yes Children are fun to photograph! They are so natural and they give us a chance to be young ourselves again, if only for a few moments while coaxing a smile!
You are lucky to have such a young one! You have years of fun ahead of you. Enjoy!

Nords, and everyone else, those pics just make me wanna have my own kids!

Thanks for those cutes photos, I smiled when I saw those pics.

Speak of lighten up my day.

[MsPamela]

Glad we could cheer up your day! :-)
Luvenny, you should go out and take a few pics of kids........... they are great to watch and such hams when you point a camera at them!

[luvenny]

You know, that is a great idea.

The only prob is, here at where I live, pointing camera to a random kid will lead to a bigger problem =P
Especially if we try to get a close up pic of them.

And I don't have "access" to a not random kid.

Oh well...

[MsPamela]

LOL! You just live in the US! Well, I have often just walked up to a playground and explained to a parent that I am a photographer and ask if I could photograph their child. Usually they are quite nice and say yes!

[carly1979]

i don't think it is "right", but i think parents will be much more willing for an unfamiliar woman to take photos of their child than an unfamiliar man.

[back on topic/] there are some brilliant photos in here, i especially like nord's pic with the cat/dog flap

[MsPamela]

While in the park today I saw this Beautiful Child! Of course you are right Carly and I thought about what you said while I was asking the parents if I could fotograph this little beauty.

...sugar for my Baby!

[gkbdave]

I have been on Flashkit for a while now and just noticed the Photography forum.. I love it and inspired me to add a photo.. Hope this is ok..This is my daughter and our new beagle(well new last summer). Shot with a Canon EOS10D. I tried to sneak up on them because she was talking to Copper, face to face but they saw me and this is what I got.. Hope you like

[gkbdave]

Ok, how do you insert the image like the ones above?

thanks

I just wrote this for someone at another forum I visit :

================================================== ========

Well I uploaded it to my webspace (so it was then accessable on the net, not just my hard drive)

It's URL became this :

http://www.robbmc.com/misc/fk/jimi.jpg

Then to get it to display in my post I put [img] at the start and [/img] at the end... like this...

[img]http://www.robbmc.com/fk/jimi.jpg[/img*] (without the * obviously)

So for example the logo in the top left, it's URL is :

http://expectingrain.com/discussion/templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif

So I type this in my post :

[img]http://expectingrain.com/discussion/templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif[/img*]

Which gets displayed as this :
