It won’t be long until Halloween is here, so start getting prepared! If you’re excited to get camera-happy with those adorable little ghouls of yours this Halloween, then try these three digital photography quick-tips for super-spooky pics of your precious trick-or-treaters:
1. Play Before the Full Moon Comes Out. To capture the true, vibrant colors of special costumes and makeup within your Halloween photos, you may want to take pictures of your little trick-or-treaters before it becomes dark outside. Taking photos while the sun’s still up will ensure great photos and will offer additional pictures of your kids in their costumes if your digital camera’s flash or other settings are less than ideal when it becomes dark outside.
2. Set a Spooky Scene. Use carved pumpkins, Halloween decorations, and holiday candy as props in the background of your exciting Halloween photos. Ask your children to pretend as though they were ringing the doorbell at your own doorstep or pose with a favorite black cat for additional “action” trick-or-treating photo shots.
3. Use a Super-Shutter Camera on Your Little Super Heroes. Costumes and candy can make for excited trick-or-treaters and blurry photos. Lose the blur by either using a faster-shutter digital camera, or setting aside some special time before the holiday activities begin to take photos with a slower-shutter camera. Remember: With slower shutter cameras, the kids and the photographer need to stay completely still for three seconds after clicking the button.
