Holiday Photography Tips- Indoor Shots
Now that we’re into December with the holidays right around the corner, how about some ideas for capturing the season with your camera? Now’s the time to take advantage of warm colorful artificial lighting:

- Key in on your subject and fill the frame. Draw the eye and the mind right into the scene, the shots can be quite evocative.
- Bump your ISO setting up or at least set it on auto. Today’s digital cameras are designed to show less noise even at moderately high settings.
- You must use a rest. Soft, low light means longer exposures and that leaves room for unintended blur. Keep your photos sharp.
- For the most pleasing results use the above techniques and keep the flash off despite the soft light. Your shots will be nicely saturated with comfortable warm tones.
- If you’re very familiar with your camera’s settings, try experimenting with white balance, bracketing and other techniques that may enhance your photos.
Over the next few weeks we’ll look at more holiday photography tips, especially for outdoor scenes. In the meantime don’t overlook that table, tree or pile of gifts. Let me know if I can help- Gordon.
