Take better Holiday photos using some easy photography tips and an HP digital camera.
1) Using the sun to light your photos Thinking of enjoying the beautiful outdoors during the holidays? Keep this tip in mind, as the winter sun can be blindingly bright! Natural sunlight provides some of the best lighting for great shots with more detail and vivid colors. Be careful:
Tip: For best results, avoid taking photos when the sun is directly overhead. This can cause harsh shadows. Also, try to shoot with the sun behind you. This prevents loss of detail caused by bright light.
2) Capture breathtaking evening photos of the twinkling holiday lights The key to great night photos is turning off your flash! Who would have thought? Just follow these simple guidelines to capture the beautiful holiday lights:
Tip: Place your camera on a tripod and set its shot timer so there's no risk of your camera moving when you press the trigger.
3) Keep annoying "red-eye" out of your family photos Nothing can throw off a family photo like a set of red glowing eyes! The flash reflecting off the retina of your subject's eyes is what causes the common problem of red-eye. Reduce red-eye by following these guidelines:
Tip: Many HP cameras offer in camera automatic red-eye removal.
4) The right background can make the perfect holiday photo Backgrounds can play a huge role in how interesting your photo is. Do you have a great tree to show off? How about a festive yard full of snow and lights? Consider these points when choosing a background:
Tip: Watch out for items in the background that might look odd when photographed, like a lamp post sticking out behind someone's head or antlers from the passing reindeer!
