Photographing Holiday Events: The More, the Merrier! ..
.."You should have seen everybody's faces when Jane showed up at the family
Christmas party! She hadn't been back in the U.S. for four years. Mom
and Dad just about crushed her in this big, tearful hug. She handed out
little handmade African gifts to all her nieces and nephews. It was amazing.
I really wish I'd brought my camera!"...
Two all-too-common mistakes related
to special holiday events are not taking pictures, and not taking enough
pictures.
This happens when people neglect to bring a camera, or because
the camera isn't at hand the moment it's needed, or because the photographer
runs out of film, batteries, or other supplies at the crucial moment.
Also, sometimes we get so caught up in the moment that we simply forget
to snap some pictures. Then, days or decades later, we ruefully recount
those missed opportunities.
When you're heading out to a special holiday
event this year, remember to keep your camera with you! Also, bring ample
supplies of film and extra batteries. Considering wearing an outfit with
pockets, so you can easily carry a spare roll or two of film as you socialize.
When you want to capture some action, get in the habit of snapping several
pictures in quick succession rather than just one. This strategy is more
likely to yield a few really great pictures. Bringing a small camera that
is easy to carry and fast to use (such as one of the KODAK ADVANTIX cameras)
may encourage you to take lots of photos.
If you're hosting a holiday
event, consider buying several inexpensive KODAK FUNSAVER One-Time-Use
cameras. Scatter them around in obvious places and invite your guests
to use them. This not only yields more photos; it adds to the fun.
