CLOSED: How to Photograph your Baby DVD Review and Giveaway (BTSC-bonus)

The winner for this giveaway has been chosen by Random.org and is announced on this post

I have just finished watching Nick Kelsh's How to Photograph Your Baby DVD and right after I finishing posting this review I want to run and get my camera and put into action all that I just learnt.

How to Photograph Your Baby is a must-have dvd for every parent who wants to capture the timeless moments in their child's life not any old way BUT beautifully! I'm sure you want to look back on well captured, professional looking pictures of your children years from now and not those red eyed pictures or the ones of little spots in a huge busy looking backgrounds. (Sigh...I have my share of such pictures of Bunny girl too!) We can't turn back time to redo all those moments but we can change the way we photograph our children today. We can make the pictures of the present and the future mini masterpieces of our precious children.

Who better to guide us on how to photograph right, than acclaimed photographer and author of nine great books- Nick Kelsh.

Nick takes the viewer through the basic essentials for capturing a classic photograph in clear and totally understandable terms. Nick's advice plays around three crucial elements- natural light, close-up angles and a point and shoot digital camera...that's it!

(Click this link to watch a few snippets from the dvd)

What I love about the dvd is the simplicity with which the art of beautiful photography is explained by a master. I especially love the way Nick says he doesn't intend to make you a professional photographer but only encourages you to enjoy your classic rights of parenthood-the right of photographing your baby...and over time this right will slowly develop into a long cherished relationship with photography.

Oooh....I'm tempted to reveal all but honestly, I really think you should watch the dvd to enjoy the learning process with Nick Kelsh and prepare to photograph with a difference!

But I really want to learn to do better with the camera.
