-
Keep your eyes on the camera and look
at the lens not the flash to avoid red eye and blinking
-
Find a simple background; it’s about
the people not the holiday props (so lose the elf ears)!
-
Focus on what’s important; faces!
It’s called a background for a reason. Nikon cameras
also offer a great face detection feature to help you
-
Don’t get to close when using a
flash, because too much light overexposes faces
-
Lighten up on the flash! If your
shooting holiday lights try turning off your flash and
holding your camera very steady for a more stunning
photo
-
Try new angles for posing; once you
have your family and background set, take pictures from
different angles to add some creative variety
-
Take lots of pictures: The more pictures you snap,
the greater chance you will capture a special
holiday moment
