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.
