Foto Tip Friday!! Taking Photos of you Holiday Celebrations!

Welcome back to Foto Tip Friday! Last week I said I was going to give some tips on taking photos of your holiday celebrations. So, here it is. Today's tips are about camera settings. 

1. Make a list of what photos you want to capture. Such as, gift opening, morning by the tree, everyone eating dinner.....memories such as this are fun to look back on.
2. Check the white balance on your camera and set it to the appropriate lighting conditions. There are so many beautiful colors and lights this time of the year and you don't want to have them come out too yellow or too blue. 
3. Use a tripod if you have one as well as a fast shutter speed because both of these will help prevent motion blur. There is usually lots of movement and you don't want to miss a shot (especially of children) because it comes out too blurry.
4. Get lots of close up shots of decorations and food and family. It is so fun to look back on the details of the day. That is where the memories are. 

I hope this helps give you some ideas to capture your family together and those decorations that look so bright and beautiful. Check back next week and I will have more!!! 

Happy Clicking!!!!
