Have you ever wonder how to capture a picture which exudes the loveliest genuine expressions? The challenge here is not the techniques involved but rather, the spontaneity of the subject in action. Such candid moments capture wonderful slices of life and are just right for making into oil paintings!

Some of the best pet and children pictures we have seen were from candid photographs .Memorable the way they are, these great photographs in turn make great oil paintings. Here are some tips that will help you capture these moments.

For a start, ensure that you always have a digital camera with you at all times. Besides making people around you feel at ease, you have to be prepared to capture candid moments at all times. You will not know for sure when one will arrive! Having a camera phone might come in handy as well.

It is nice to have a high quality, high resolution photo for converting into an oil painting. Nevertheless our artists are capable of turning a poorly lit, low resolution or blurry picture from a camera phone into a beautiful painting.

Now, we have to ensure that the subject is unaware that they are being photographed. If not, you will be able to sense a change in their behavior, making them more self conscious. This is attributed to the works of the subconscious mind and applies to animals as well!

The goal of candid photography is have something unposed, and unplanned. Once you step into your subjects’ personal space with a camera, their interactions will no longer be as spontaneous.

To be as unobtrusive as possible, use the zoom feature of you camera to remain at a distance. Also, it helps to turn off the flash. Even when you are outside of their personal space a blinding flash will always be distracting.

If it is not possible to be outside of their personal space, keep taking photos for an extended period of time. Even if the subjects are aware of the camera, after a while they will take their focus away from it, and resume what they were doing before. This leads us to the next point:

The more photos the better! Keep taking photos and don’t be embarrassed about taking multiple shots of the same scene! You don’t have to scrimp on films for a digital camera either. Multiple shots help reduce the probability of getting a blurred image.

It will be useful should your camera have the continuous shooting mode. Do make full use of it to capture that perfect candid moment which you desire. Then, your oil painting will look great as well!

Mixing up the angles and perspectives creates more exciting and interesting photos too. One way is to shoot from your hip level. This not only makes shooting less obvious, it also render new perspectives. You can crouch down or stand on an elevation as well. Just let your creative juices flow!

Photograph the subjects when are interacting with another subject or performing a task. With them interaction in place, the subjects will be less aware of you being near them.

You can capture interesting relationships and level of involvement which will add to the spontaneity of the photograph. You will then be able to tell the story behind the image taken.

This is in sharp contrast to traditional portrait photography where the subjects are posing and appear static.

With all these, you are now ready for candid photography and one step closer to creating your own beautiful oil painting.

Once you have captured that special moment on film, you can then go to Paint The Moment at www.paintthemoment.com and get your beautiful oil painting made. The quality of the paintings that they make are unbeatable, and it is still at reasonable prices!
