This quick guide will give you some tips and tricks on how to take better pictures during the Christmas holidays.
1. Don't use the flash
The problem that usually arises from not using a flash is that your pictures may turn out blurry. The easiest way to solve this problem is to place your camera on a tripod Take multiple shots, holding the shutter button down and you're bound to get at least one good shot. Be sure you're using both your hands to support your camera.
2.Use different heights
When taking pictures of people, you typically want to be at eye level. This is fine for group shots or shots of adults, but when it comes to kids (and there will inevitably be kids around), don't be afraid to crouch down and get to their level.
Even lying down on the floor can help bring out some great photos. For shots of objects (presents, decoration, dessert) experiment with different angles instead of simply seeing something and snapping a photo (inanimate objects don't typically move, so they're easier to work with).
Try a direct top view or try putting the object in the foreground and some people or other scenery in the background.
3.Edit your images.
If you really want some good pictures, snapping a photo is only half the job. Plug your memory card into a reader or use a usb cable and upload the pictures. Some of the best quick things you can do are to crop and straighten your photos. Red eye is becoming less of a problem these days, but be sure to go through and fix all the scary eyeballs. You can use the auto color correct feature.
4.Do experiments to improve the photo
Learn to master your camera and take photo from different angles Just practice it and your photo will be highly appreciated.
