Capture the spirit of Christmas on film about our style
Christmas is a time for sharing
warmth and love with family and
friends. And photographs are a
perfect w .y to keep.thise feelings
alive, because pictures are the best
reminder of good times.
To capture the excitement of
Christmas, have your camera ready
for the highlight of the holiday — the
opening of presents on Christmas
morning. The best way to get these
pictures, and to ensure that you
don't miss any good photo oppor-
tunities once the gift paper begins to
fly, is to leave the camera with extra
film near the tree on Christmas Eve.
Passing the camera among family
members means there need not be a
single photographer who is missing
from all the pictures because he or
she was behind the camera.
If you are giving a camera as a
gift, load it with film and mark it
"Open me first," so it can be put to
use immediately.
To ensure your holiday pictures
come out right, remember these
basics of good picture -taking.
Always hold the camera steady
and level. Shoot from your subjects'
level, even if it means stretching out
on the floor.
Get as close to your subject as
possible so detail and expression fill
the picture instead of background
and distortions.. •
Stay close enough to peoplele so that
you can really see the facial
expres-
sions. Capturing the true emotions —
the look on children's faces as they
open up a special Christmas present
— is what holiday picture -taking is
all about.
When you take pictures on
Christmas morning; remember that
the joy of the occasion is not just
the event itself, but a series of ac-
tivities. A fine collection of holiday
shots will always include a variety of
pictures.
Take a sequence of eye-catching
and memory -triggering photographs
showing the magic of the uncertainty .
turning to joy as he or she discovers
that. Santa broughtjust what was
wanted: • y..
And remember to capture the
reactions of the other family
members as they witness the joyous,
events. •
After everyone has opened their
gifts, take some photographs of the
children playing with their new toys.
And don't forget to pose some pic-
tures of all the kids, or all the
cousins together, as 'a memory of
Christmas, 1986.
Picture -taking is the best way to
preserve those once-in-a-lifetime
holiday moments. A '
How we live, what we wear, our
fragrance and even the presents we
give at holiday time can speak
volumes about who we really are.
Making specific statements in per-
sonal style, lifestyle and gift selec-
tions can establish a strong sense of
"sell" and allow others to share the
joys of our own uniqueness.
