Or invest in a camera that lets you imprint the date of an event on your film — so you know just when the action took place, or one with red-eye reduction.
As for film, 100 or 200 speed generally is ideal for sunny, bright days or indoor shots with a flash, according to photography experts at Kodak. Use 400-speed film for action shots, photos taken in dim light or longer-range flash photos.
SNAP SMART
Practice and fine-tune your photographic skills before the holiday season sets in, and you’ll be as confident as a good little child on Christmas Eve.
If you’ve invested in new equipment, for instance, be sure to read the owner’s manual and take some pictures or videos well before the fun begins.
That way, you’re not fumbling with the settings while your little one rattles off his or her list on Santa’s knee.
It’s also wise to take stock in the power of numbers. Instead of being a film Scrooge, snap two, three or even more shots of a prime moment. Or spread the joy around by purchasing several single-use cameras for family and friends to use at gatherings.
You also might learn some tricks of the trade by enrolling in a photography or videography class.
Two tips from Kodak include photographing outdoor shots of Christmas trees and holiday lights at dusk or on a cloudy day with high-speed film, and focusing on facial expressions when snapping people since faces can tell a complete story on their own.
And always keep in mind that people photograph best when they’re relaxed, having fun and unaware of the camera.
