After reading my last post, my friend Bruce wanted to try the trick with his adorable daughter. He asked her if she could see the monkey in his lens. Here she is looking for the monkey.
The trick worked! What a great eye contact shot. She claimed that she could see the monkey and also could see an elephant in there as well! Thanks Bruce!!!
How do you get those little rugrats to look at you so you can get those great eye contact shots?
This morning I read the best idea I have heard in a long time and it was on photographer Elle Mendenhall’s blog, Elle Bella Photography. It really hit close to home and I am totally going to try it out soon. The mother of the boys she was shooting told her sons that there was a Clone Trooper inside the lens of the camera. They were looking and looking to try to see the little guy. So subsequently Elle was able to capture some fantastic eye contact shots of those little cutie patootie boys.
Genius isn’t it?!? Yeah. I told my husband and he thought it was brilliant too. We’re going to start telling the boys that Spongebob is inside the lens and that they should try to look for him.
