To sum up this shooting, I think this was my hardest challenge on this course so far. Nothing went well, nothing went the way I planned. Even though I've got some good (not very good as I planned!) images of the children. I let them come and go as they pleased so they look natural but this caused some problem such as getting the back lighting. As you can see on the last two image I couldn't get the back lighting properly. I tried to get on their level but I couldn't avoid the disturbing things at the backgrounds. The garden was so overcrowded. Also, the images don't really show that it's a birthday party. I think I should have took better or more interesting images but I faced with numerous problem. The changing light conditions and the one time moments are totally made the shooting difficult to do. I totally messed up my camera settings and I had not had time to fix this problem because the moments happen only once. So, I totally lost the control during the happenings. Although, I was thinking about back lighting the subject, I couldn't deal with the changing light conditions. So this will be something I'll have to practice in summer and check up on the right camera settings for changing light conditions. It was a stressful first lifestyle shooting on location and I think I chose one of the hardest type of it. If I would have chosen a family with grown-up children then I would have more control on the situations. Hopefully, next time I will do better and I will be more confident.
