Several days were the Christmas day, so I want to give a Christmas photography" as the theme to write one shooting guide was quite appropriate. Sincerely hope that these can give you a good idea of ​​shooting. Here are 15 tips on photography Christmas or ideas.
1. Preparation - Make a list, check it twice
The event you want to shoot down is an important part of determining the success of photography. Prepare them, but also the location selected.
The camera is packed - this would not have said that last year I put this thing in a hurry to forget.
Make sure the battery is fully charged, and have a spare battery.
Have a spare camera memory card - clear all of its contents to ensure adequate capacity.
Let some of the characters into the picture - the family together to eat, drink, etc. - why not leave those memories, so that they will not forget this crazy day.
Consider your room where the lighting effects when shooting. Lighting adequate? The need for flash? Background is too messy?
2. White balance
Someone outdoors often celebrate Christmas in Australia, but other people celebrate indoors. Attention should be paid to when shooting environment is what kind of light, to adjust the white balance accordingly. Of course, if your shots are RAW, you can adjust the white balance later.
3. Build it yourself "studio"
You may have not enough money to rent a studio so that you can build yourself a shooting area for guests to take pictures. A few years ago I was doing, and then treat people sit to take their picture.
As long as the guests come, I will take them pictures, and then place the camera on a tripod, set a short self-exposure time, so you can rest at dinner time for everyone to take pictures. I put "studio" built on a well-lit location, with red velvet curtains for the background, in order to achieve the purpose to create a Christmas atmosphere. Usually I will use a Santa Claus hat, and some shiny stuff to dress them.
4. Capture the preparation phase
Christmas dinner or party is clearly the most exciting part of the day, a good time and also shot some other time, especially early stage of preparation.
- Set the table
- Food preparation
- Layout ornament

5. Before and after comparison
After the dinner ended, before taking off to make another place some photos, do some comparison before and after. Of course, you should ensure that shot from the same place.
