I took a girl and two boys to the botanical garden and the zoo in Saturday morning. I have been shooting girls’ portraits aged around 20, and now my interest is taking of children.
I knew “children” was a difficult subject for a beginner photographer like me, but I really enjoyed it I would like to try again.
In the zoo, there is a small play ground which has some rides children can have fun, and as I expected the kids wanted to spend their time with them. So I bought tickets for each and they were off to one of the rides.
All three had fun and came back with big smiles 
She drew the penguin’s attention with her finger. The penguin was away in its room but it waddled along her finger.
One of the boys found a cat in the botanical garden. The cat seemed friendly that it came close to us. Other two kids were scared and stayed aloof. But when the boy touched the cat, the cat was frightened and angry, and mewed away.
I think the staff in the botanical garden shouldn’t let stray cats or dogs in.
I took over 200 shots of them. I think I learned a little from this.
Now I’m planning on shooting images of kids in a small island next if only I could find a child or two. Japanese kids are incredibly shy!
