Customized Christmas cards are an excellent way to spread holiday cheer to all of your family and friends. Even if you skip the professional photographer and take your own photos, you can still capture the perfect shot. Not only will this save you money, but it will be a core Here are a few tips to consider when taking your own Christmas family card.
Choose a location
Posing in front of the Christmas tree is a popular choice, try being a little more creative. Take candid photos of your children participating in holiday activities such as decorating the tree, baking or wrapping gifts. Photographs taken candidly can better capture your children’s personalities and relationships.
Adjust your camera settings
Choose the phone with the best camera at home, and adjust its settings. Set it up on a tripod, set a time and start posing. If you do not have a tripod, ask your favourite neighbour to be your personal photograther for a few minutes.
Double check your background
A stray piece of trash, an electrical cord, or any other out-of-place object can ruin an otherwise perfect Christmas card photograph. Check and double-check for anything in the background that could ruin your shot.
Take plenty of shots
Take as many shots as you can to get the perfect Christmas card photo. You don’t have to worry about wasting film anymore because everything is digital. Zoom in for close-ups and out for panoramic shots. Experiment with different shooting angles. Get down low with your children or play with angles from above. The more pictures you take, the more options you will have when selecting the perfect Christmas card.
