Create the Perfect Holiday Photo Album This Season
A holiday photo album is a must do activity. The holiday season is the time for families to get together to eat, drink, and be merry. Together with the decorations in place and everyone looking their best, this time of year is worth remembering. What better way to capture the moments than to create the perfect holiday photo album! Use these tips to find the photos this year and begin your holiday photo album.
First things first
The first thing you will need to create an album is a camera. Digital cameras come in many styles and with many features, but for the newcomer, a basic model should do fine. Cell phones even come with suitable cameras built right in. One feature to look for is a function that is zoom that is suitable. There are two types of optical, digital and zoom. Optical zoom works by magnifying the image and maintaining the quality of the shot and is the type. Digital zооm wоrks bу сrорріng аnd enlarging the picture to focus on the desired area and causes a substantial loss of quality.
Pay attention to the megapixels, when choosing a camera. High megapixels can waste storage space and aren’t necessary for taking great pictures for photo albums. Staying between 3-6 megapixels is more than enough for the average photo sizes with a little wiggle room for editing. Storage space is also an important consideration. Nothing is worse than missing a minute because your camera ran out of memory. A memory card can hold around 140 images. If you plan on taking a lot of photos, make sure to have memory cards on hand.
Zoom in on what Matters
If you would like pictures that detail 12, getting up close and personally is essential. Rather than standing face to face with the object you’re photographing, keep several feet between you and use the function to hone in on the details of the person or the object you’re photographing using the Macro or Magnify button. Your photos will pop then. By efficiently utilizing the zoom, you cut out background clutter that will draw attention away from what is essential and can fill your images with the focus of the photo. This is one of the most important things. Fill your shots with what you’re trying to photograph and your holiday photo album will be impressive!
Click at Random
Taking shots is well worth the effort if you would like to capture moments that can last a lifetime. Keep your camera batteries charged and your equipment (or lenses) nearby so that you don’t miss one of these jewels.
As an example, snapping two individuals (or a group) talking with one another can allow you to capture expressions and energy that fail to come up in posed pictures. You can do so by tweaking your camera’s Motion or Sports settings. An image, even if they’re walking or running, you can snap. Set to decrease if you do not want a ghostly image that blurs as much as possible.
Before the emotion fades to capture moments of emotion, like a child opening presents, take pictures. Don’t wait till they capture the moment in its intensity for the best effect and present them for a picture, settle down.
Use the Light to your Advantage.
The light could be your best friend or your worst enemy depending on how you use it. If you can’t play with the light like a pro the people in your pictures will have a case of the eye that is red. However, if this happens to your snaps, you can fix this quickly by editing them out using the Windows Live Photo Gallery.
On the other hand, you could always keep mirrors or other reflective surfaces around them to decrease that risk. Plus, make sure unless you’re using flash, that they are not standing in front of an open window. You may get dark photos otherwise. Paying attention is essential to give your holiday photo album that professional feel.
Play with the Angles
Photos that are taking head-on can get dull after a while. If you want to spice up your record, then take pictures of your subjects from different directions to give the viewer a new perspective on your trip. By filling the frame, you could take shots that are dramatic. Tilt the camera 1/3rd of a framework down to create a very different effect for each image you snap.
Be sure to pay attention to other props and background items to make your photographs stand out as well. Including the setting that is right pieces can build intensity in your photographs and create your shots picture perfect.
Editing your holiday photo albums
After everyone leaves, make sure to upload your photographs into your editing applications, such as Adobe Photoshop or a similar program. These tools have plenty of attributes for the home photographer that give your images that professional look. Crop your photos to drop unwanted background space. Use a red-eye removal tool to eliminate red-eye or touch up small blemishes. Depending on your skill level, you adjust highlights, could correct photographs, apply special photo filters, and add your creative touches to personalize your photographs.
When you are done with the holiday photo album, save it is a family time capsule or any DIY time capsule you make for your special event or occasion. Learn how to make a DIY time capsule here today. What is one main photo you save in a holiday photo album? Comment below.
