I’ve got some great, easy tips for successful holiday photos, so read on…

The next few weeks most of us will spend time on the computer frantically trying to find that great picture from summer vacation where we were all together and smiling…

If you found it, congratulations! You’re ready to make your holiday cards – and that’s the fun part. At Brodigan Photography, we offer a great set of customizable holiday cards here here

Make a good quality photo:
Point and shoot cameras can only capture even, well-lit subjects. I recommend turning your flash off (this will prevent red eye), trying to find enough natural light, and setting your ISO (the camera’s light sensitivity) to 400. Small cameras make grainy pictures using ISO 800 or more. Sometimes the background is brighter than your subject (a white linoleum floor, an outdoor setting, etc.). If you can overexpose your image by pushing the “+” sign in the exposure menu, do it. Also, if you’re indoors, try to adjust the light setting on your camera to what’s on around you… florescent? Incandescent? Sometimes auto just isn’t good at color balancing the light, and you’ll get really yellow, orange or even green pictures without making that adjustment.

Just remember these few things that make for a good quality photo: no shadows across faces, good exposure, no distracting backgrounds (tourists, garbage cans, etc.); large enough file size to reproduce

Special offer: check out the “special offers” tab on the left side of the site for some just announced holiday offers; only through Nov. 30!

Next: Make sure what you’re shooting is something worth saving and sharing:
A good moment: everyone’s together, enjoying themselves. They don’t have to be looking at the camera or smiling; just pick one that makes you smile; that brings back a happy memory. Your choice may surprise you. And if you do have a great location from a summer trip, show it off, for the rest of us!

And don’t forget — If you’d like to have a more recent photo, or you missed that summer photo op (like me, because I was at the computer all summer), check out our new holiday specials — just click our “special offers” tab on the left side of our site…

You can always call or email me for free advice! May all your holidays be memorable (in a good way) and all your shopping be painless…
