Taking better holiday pictures

The holidays are the best time to own a camera. With all the exciting parties, festive colors, and family fun, it's no wonder so many pictures are taken during special celebrations.
But why do so many holiday pictures look the same? Sometimes it's hard to tell if the photo of the family eating turkey was from this Thanksgiving or the last one — without looking at hair or clothing styles.
It doesn't have to be this way. The holidays are a perfect excuse to practice creative photography. With a house full of activity and a unique cast of characters, it's a great time to try to take a holiday photograph you'll cherish for years.

Take lots of picturesOne of the joys of digital photography is that you can take plenty of pictures, and delete the ones you don't like. It's always better to take too many pictures than to take too few, and this is especially true during the holidays. When opening presents, welcoming distant family members, or laughing at old home movies, people tend to relax and become more natural. Candid shots of people enjoying themselves are almost always more enjoyable than those awkward posed pictures.
When it comes to taking pictures, there might be no better time than the holidays. Don't be afraid to try lots of new approaches. And remember that a nice picture makes a great gift, so the more you take this year, the better your presents may be next year.
