Christmas Photography Tips

With new digital cameras the shooting possibilities are infinite. For the holidays why not use your your Christmas tree lights as your main light source? Of course not using any kind of flash. To get really warm and beautiful effects set your color balance on daylight. This will help you achieve that beautiful golden glow.
Enjoy the holidays and most importantly, relax, recharge and enjoy your family and friends.

Friends

Just before thanksgiving I received an email from my new friend Mike Chambers who I met in my California Light Workshop class. He was my most enthusiastic and talented student. His comment moved me, “On the way to work this morning I started thinking of things I have to be thankful for and meeting you immediately came to my mind”. These gifts that life presents to us are ones that no money can buy, a genuine and beautiful friend like Mike. I’m looking forward to making many more new friends in the coming new year.

SHOOT AND BE THANKFUL

This is a time to reflect and be thankful for all the great people I have met during my workshops, lectures and travels. They are my new-found treasures.

PHOTO TIPS FOR THANKSGIVING

- Break all the rules and surprise yourself

- Forget the on-camera flash. Choose a higher ISO (800-1000)

- Use available light

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
