As Christmas is coming soon, I am prompted to write this Christmas article for all of us here at News24. Each year we find new ways of celebrating Christmas, whether it be a Christmas party with your family, or an office Christmas party. Along with celebrating Christmas, you should also make sure that you have the memory of these celebrations with you. And what better way to remember the good old times than snapping some cool pictures with your family? You can take a digital camera and snap some pictures and make your Christmas as memorable as any other event!
Now, for starters, you don't need to use a large, bulky camera. I must say that they are really very cumbersome. On the contrary, if you use a small point-and-shoot digital camera, you can carry it off quite easily as it is portable as well as unobtrusive. In this article I will give you some tips on how to snap the Christmas pictures perfectly, whether it is a family party or an office Christmas party.
First of all, before you start using the digital camera, make sure its battery is fully recharged and don't forget to take the battery re-charger along with you as well, as you will be snapping a lot of pictures. You should also make sure that there is plenty of space in the memory card of your camera.
There is no hard and fast rule that you would be the only one there for taking pictures. If you get tired of snapping pictures let someone else handle the task. I would recommend you ask for help from young people, or in the case of an office Christmas party, young employees, as they are very smart at taking quick shots. Since digital cameras are very easy to use, even very young people can learn to use it in minutes!
Don't take pictures from too far. Always make sure you are close to your family members before you snap the picture. If you get an opportunity to snap a picture of the whole family gathering, don't miss that opportunity at any cost! Also be sure to take at least two to three shots of each frame, because more often than not the first shot goes wrong. You really don't want to mess up your photo with your boss at the office Christmas party, do you?
Another type of picture you can take is a candlelight picture. Make two people sit on the opposite ends of a candle. Make sure you have the flash turned off before taking the shot. Then, if required, you may have to rest your elbow on the table to give your body some support and then you can take the shot. Again, make sure you take two to three shots of this frame.
If there are old or infant members in your family, don't forget to take a shot of their smiling faces as well! Very often, you will find that these pictures are the only surviving memory of your loved ones.
So there I have given you some hot tips on photography. Enjoy the holiday season and Merry Christmas to you!
