Posing for a Christmas morning shot |
It also means it's a great time to take pictures and document, document, document!
So, what makes a good photo during the holidays? Let's look at a few examples.
People are very important. It's great if you can actually get your kids, nieces or nephews to sit still for a photo. A posed shot is wonderful. However, they usually aren't going to pose for long.
Boy in motion! |
Let's move on to other shots that document special moments. Maybe they involve pets. Here is what I call a "mood" shot. We have one cat who loves sleeping under the tree. I got down on my stomach to take this picture. Isn't he so sweet? You can tell it's before the hustle and bustle of opening presents. This is a nice memory.
And here's another pet photo. Yes, our cat is actually watching the television while we opened presents to the Nutcracker. :)
And lastly, here are three of our cats interested in an electronic lightning bug in a jar. The picture may be a little cluttered, but it shows the cats looking at the jar in the middle of my son's Legos, which he started building immediately. When he's much older, this will be a reminder for me of the time when he was little.
So, what shots have you taken that your proud of or that are special to you?
Leave me your link and I'll be happy to head over to your blog and take a look.
Hope this tip helps!

And Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah!
