Thanksgiving Photo Tips

Before you snap a shot, know exactly what the subject of your photo is going to be.⁵

Since many families don't get to gather very often try to get everyone together for a formal style photo. Set up your tripod, check the shot and get into the photo with your family.⁶

If you live in an area with a great parade, don't be shy. Get out there and snap shots of the Thanksgiving floats.⁶

Every picture is an opportunity for humor, and you can create your own funny Thanksgiving photos with photo editing software. For example, try blowing up a picture of a turkey to three times its size, then carefully cut it out and transpose it onto a table full of people with wide-eyed and amazed expressions.⁷
