Tis' the Season of Group Photos & Selfies!

holiday pictures tips for taking pics Dec 12, 2023

We have all taken an awful group photo or selfie! You know the picture where:
 

  • You have a double chin
  • Your finger is over the lens
  • You got the whole group in the photo, but only the right side of your face made the cut
  • You thought you knew where to look, but later realized you weren't looking at the camera


And while I'm guessing you're not really taking THAT many group photos or selfies, for the few you do take this holiday season, try using your timer!

 


Benefits of using a timer:

  • Allows you to add yourself in the photo without the awful close-up because you're the one holding the camera
  • Great for group photos
  • Great for photos when you want the background included (holiday light displays, Christmas trees, concerts/plays, etc...) and a selfie is just too close
  • Can set a timer for 3 or 10 seconds so you have time to run and jump in the photo


How to use your timer:


This might take a little practice to perfect, so try it out before your party or celebration! 

Happy Holidays!
