TheReview Wednesday, December 2,1992 — 9 Get picture perfect memories with holiday photos wreathed in smiles The holidays may come during the winter, but that’s no reason for family and friends to look frozen in your snapshots. Here are some handy tips that will help you thaw them out, so that you have relaxed, smiling subjects. And you’ll get better- than-ever holiday pictures. 1. Avoid heavily posed photos. Your most effective snapshots will be candid shots of family and friends. 2. Take group photos in the twinkling of an eye. For pictures where you do want to pose a group, get everyone assembled, tell them, “On the count of three say Happy Holidays,” and take the photo quickly. 3. Don’t force anyone to be in a photo. An announcement like, “Now I’m going to take photos,” may send some people running for Cover. Take a photo while they're engaged in an activity, and they ll look more natural. Use the self- timer and get in the photo your- self! — When snapping pictures of small children, get down to their level. If you take photos of kids from your viewpoint, youll end up with “bid’s eye view~ shots or pictures of the tops of their heads. Jf your child is enthralled with a new gift, don’t move in close to take the picture. Stay across the room and use the telephoto posi- tion. Or use the wide-angle setting for shots that encompass a group. — Keep plenty of film on hand. Remember, most stores aren’t open on Christmas and New Year’s days. — Keep your camera handy. It’s hard to take holiday snapshots when your camera is out of reach! Keep it close, and that way, sure as shootin’, you'll have the best happy holiday photo memories.
