Moments Captured at a Kids Halloween Party

This past weekend my kids and I were invited to attend a Halloween Party, mostly with friends from their class. Food, crafts, games, friends and fun – I knew this was one party to go down in the record books.

I thought it was a perfect occasion to bring along the Canon EOS Rebel SL1. My goal was to capture these special memories of my kids at a fun event with their friends and also introduce this DSLR to other Moms. After all, most have the same mission as myself – to capture everyday, special moments in their kids lives.

First, the delicious food! I loved using the Food setting in the Scenes setting, made to capture culinary photography to perfection. I really liked how the colours are crisp and sharp, such delicious visuals.

 As someone who regularly takes photos of food for my blog {my kids words: “Mom, can I eat this or do you need to take a picture first?”}, I know this setting will be used a ton.

The kids settled into some Halloween crafts at the party. Bracelet making, colouring, stickers and more.

 Since there was so much activity at the party, I mainly used the EF 40mm f2.8 STM Lens indoors. I absolutely love the Background Blur setting, just because it’s so quick and easy to use. Instead of using manual to adjust the focal length, this setting takes less time to get that photo with the nice blurring effect.

Combine that with the fact that the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 has a TOUCH SCREEN {yes!}, it’s even easier to get those great shots of the fly. So, you have the option of choosing your desired setting with the buttons and dials, and with navigation on the screen. I think those just entering the world of DSLR cameras will especially appreciate this, since it’s almost second nature now to browse through a touch screen.

The Halloween party then went outdoors where the kids could run and play, and I could test some outdoors shots using the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 and the 18-55mm IS STM Lens.

The first shot I took was of the decorations outside the home. Yet first I turned on the Extra Effect Shot feature and chose monochrome. The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 then takes the photo as usual, and saves another exact photo yet in Monochrome. Right on the screen you could see side by side captures of both photos, and immediately I decided that colour in the day just didn’t do it justice. The b&w version is MUCH spookier, right?

There are so many other effects to choose from, it’s amazing. Plus, you have two copies of the photo, meaning you don’t need to take a second shot after adjusting the settings, also saving time in post editing to change the look. Awesome.

Back to the party: The kids ran and play in costume, having a ball. Angry Bird lived up to his costume that day, chasing the kids around the yard. I used the active kids setting to get photos at this time, catching expressions the whole while without photo blur. Run Obi-Wan, run!

 Even Tigger came out to play with the kids, I so love getting photos of animals and this little cutie is extremely photogenic. This photo came out crisp also with some blurred background to keep the focus on the dog and not the many distractions in the background.

Next on the party agenda? A spooky Halloween game of cooked spaghetti noodles and peeled grapes in jars, to represent brains and eyeballs.

Blindfolded and not knowing what was really in there, it was interesting to watch the kids reactions when their hands went into the jars. Amazingly, the girls were unfazed, almost unimpressed with the ‘brains and eyeballs’ whereas we all got some laughs from the boys reactions.

On this particular day I got many inquires about the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 along with many impressed reactions when offered the chance to give it a test drive. This doesn’t surprise me at all, since it’s the lightest and smallest DSLR int he world, yet quite the firecracker when it comes to features and ability. 

blurred-background-canon-rebel-OES-SL1

I usually carry around my larger and heavier advanced series Canon DSLR, so of course I noticed just how much lighter and compact the the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is. It packs such a punch when it comes to features and function, I’m truly impressed with this camera!

I got many photos of this exciting afternoon, making a nice collection of memories to enjoy for years to come. Old friends getting together and new ones made, even Tigger himself made a friend at the party.

** All photos SOTC, yet re-sized for web-use and an addition of a watermark.

 

Impressed by this DSLR? Don’t forget to enter to win a Canon EOS Rebel SL1 for yourself, I have a fantastic giveaway up right now for one of my Canadian readers.

Be on the lookout for more photo-sharing to come, I’m capturing a ton of life’s moments to share with you all!

    These shots are fantastic! I have an old old well used Canon XTi it’s bulky and heavy and lacks all the modern features this camera has!! I’ve been wanting an upgrade, This is it!

    Great pics!! Looks like everyone had a ball (wish I had been there!) even Tigger! I am LOVING the extra effect setting and that fact that you can compare the pics side by side, what a time saver as sometimes you only get one chance to take that special shot, also not having to go into your photo program and change it there is a bonus!
    The lightness is a plus for me as arm problems prevent me from lugging a heavy camera around a no-no now, this is going on my short short list for a new camera!
    If I could take great pictures like you I think I would have to start a new job as a professional photographer!
