Great Photos this Holiday Season
The holiday season is for making memories with family and friends. Capture those memories with photos that will last a lifetime. Here are some tips from Kodak for taking great pictures this holiday season:

Look your subject in the eye - Direct eye contact can be as engaging in a picture as it is in real life. Hold the camera to the person's eye level to unleash the power of those magnetic gazes and smiles. For children, that means stooping to their level.

Use a plain background - A plain background shows off the subject you are photographing.

Move in close - If your subject is smaller than a car, take a step or two closer before taking the picture and zoom in on your subject. Your goal is to fill the picture area with the subject you are photographing. Up close you can reveal telling details, like a sprinkle or freckles or an arched eyebrow.

Move it from the middle - The middle of your pictures is not the best place for your subject. Bring your picture to life by simply moving your subject away from the middle of your picture.

Be a picture director - Take control of your picture taking and watch your pictures dramatically improve. Take charge. Pick a location. Add props. Arrange people.
