Believe it or not it is spring. It will be beautiful outside very soon. Before that happens though,we have some holidays where families gather and and that always makes a great time to take some photos. Here a just a couple of tips to help you take better photos at your holiday. If you are using a point and shoot digital camera inside you should be no more than about 7 feet from your subject, if you have a dslr with a full flash on it you certainly have more range, up to about 12 to 15 feet. Which is needed for large groups. Also, always watch your centering. Take an extra second to make sure your not cutting anyone's head off and make sure nothing is real obtrusive in the background. If you are using your phone make sure you hold it real steady and solid and try not to jab the photo button but touch it easily and smoothly. I find that camera shake is the biggest problem with iphones and other camera phones.
Enjoy your holiday and look for our tips on outside photos in the spring!
