The Times Advocate, 2006-12-20, Page 13Wednesday, December 20, 2006 TIMES—ADVOCATE 13 Capturing your child's holiday memories (NC)—Winter is the perfect backdrop to capture last- ing family memories. With its festive colours, holiday get-togethers and snow -filled activities, this time of year provides a great opportunity to practice some cre- ative digital family photography. Yet many parents are in the dark when it comes to snapping that great whi- ter photo. Because children are quick -moving by nature, a digi- tal camera will also allow you to catch them on the go. With a number of winter activities that involve speed — like skiing or skating — it is important to have a camera that will capture those action shots. Many of today's digital cameras have built-in flexibility which allows you to immediately delete any pictures that are not up to par. So go ahead — shoot without the fear of wasting film on blurry or missed shots. Some cameras even have specific technology that virtually eliminates Christmas Eve service in Varna By Joan Beierling VARNA CORRESPONDENT VARNA - Christmas Sunday was celebrated at the Goshen Church on Sunday with the McBride Family (Peter, Katie, Mckayla and Grant) lighting the candle of Joy. Many gifts were shared on Sunday. Erin Keys shared her gift and played the clarinet to many of the hymns. The Choir share their gift of music every Sunday, they sang The Lord Is Come. During the children's time The Little Drummer Boy was sung and Anna Keys shared her gift and played the piano while Patrick Armstrong shared his gift and played the drums. Everyone has a gift. The green floral arrangement made by Helen Keys for her son Graham's wedding was on display at the front of the Sanctuary. Helen shares her gift of decorating the church. Pastor Elly Van Bergen wished everyone both young and old a very warm welcome. Five week old Megan Govier was there to meet everyone. The Christmas Eve Service will be on Sun., Dec. 24 at 10:30 a.m. with guest music by new Varna resident Kelly Dearlove on the flute. Dec. 31 worship will be in Goshen with Don Langford speak- ing on Canadian Food Grain Bank Annual Reports should be hand- ed in soon. You are warmly invited to the New Year's Eve held at Holmesville United Church on Mon., Jan. 1 from 1 to 4 p.m. This is an opportunity to meet friends, neighbours and establish new friendships while welcoming in 2007. The Varna Crokinole Club met for the last time this year on Tues., Dec. 12 for singles play. Players were divided into two dif- ferent groups. Winners of the A group were Conrad Sitter with 52pts, Joe Fulop and Ivan McClymont tied with 47pts. and Gerald Dearing with 44. Alec Ostrom topped the B side with 46pts, Bill Hearn with 43, David Turner 41 and Ron Coleman with 40. The Club will meet again in the New Year on Jan. 9 for Doubles Play. Birthday wishes are extended to Peter Walden. To my readers this Holiday Season I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year 2007!! blurry photos, or those that are too dark. Look for these features when purchasing your next camera. In order to take great holiday pictures of your little ones, here are a few tips to help you along the way: • Stay close: For babies and young children, keep a parent nearby in order to distract the child's attention from the camera. This will allow for a more natural - looking picture; • Lay low: Kneel or lie down at your child's level for a more intimate and closer view of your subject; • Use that LCD screen: Children (including toddlers and babies) love to see images of themselves, so show them the results after you have taken the picture. It will give them incentive to pose for the next round of shots; • A different view: Shoot everyday objects and people from your child's perspective. It will give an interesting and fresh feeling to your pictures; • Winter white out: Ever taken a photo of the family ski trip and have the snow look grey in the prints? Taking photos in the snow is tricky. Check your digital camera for a snow or winter setting feature. This fea- ture helps corrects the camera's white balance and lowers the exposure value to avoid over -exposing the image; • No picture is set in stone: Don't be afraid to experi- ment with your camera's different features. Remember: you can always delete any unwanted images. That perfect photograph of your little ones enjoying the winter is just one click away.
