Back in July, I handed the camera over to Little Buddy using our method. What is my method? I'm so glad you asked!!!
I tie my PhatStrap in a knot so that the camera is close to his face and body and it can't swing away from him. I change the settings off of back button focus to shutter release button focus. I set an aperture and ISO, and turn the camera to aperture priority mode. I move the focus point to the center (he hasn't figured out other compositions just yet). Switch the shooting mode to one of the NOT continuous modes (otherwise I'll get 20 of the exact same image, as he will hold the button down). And tell him to go!
Little Buddy LOVES when we do this. LOVES it. This time I asked if he would shoot me with the Little Lady for my next Me & Mine. We were playing in the playroom. I was bouncing her up and down while she sat on my belly. She was dying laughing. Little Buddy never quite captured the motion of it all, but I still love what he did. Treasures. Just treasures. There are so few images that include me.
Of course I must include a shot of my photographer, even if it is missed focus.
I shot these with my
