It’s time to get out and get active….taking photos! It was a long winter and I can say that my creativity froze along with the falling temperatures! Well, spring is here and it’s time to get reenergized and get scrapping. Some helpful hints for spring photos:

1. Pay attention to the light source-don’t take the photo with the sun directly behind your subject. If you are shooting people, be careful that they are not not looking right into the sun, causing them to squint!

2. If you are taking Easter or Passover pictures, don’t just take photos of the people, take interesting pictures of the elements that make up your celebration. i.e. flowers, baskets or sedar plate. These will make great supporting photos for your layout.

3. Did you go somewhere special? Take a photo of the sign, home or invitation (or scan) to remember where your celebration took place.

4. Make it interesting and take some close-ups and funky angles.

Have fun and record the beautiful creation and feasts that our Maker made for us to enjoy!
