I will be holding a Halloween Inspired Scrapbooking workshop on November 25th and 26th from 6:30-9pm at my house in Oakville, Ontario. Included in the workshop are all the materials, instruction and the sketch you’ll need to create a 2 page layout, for just $10. All you’ll need to bring with you are 4-6 pictures to use on your pages. So make sure you take some pictures this Saturday of some ghouls and goblins!!! Here are some tips for capturing the BIG day:
- Take pictures of everything – from removing the seeds during pumpkin craving to cute little costumes that make Halloween what it is. Don’t forget to take a picture of the photographer too.
- Get a picture of the entire group together. Use the timer so you can be in the picture too–make sure you all squeeze in for a close up.
- Take pictures from different angles – you never know which one will turn out the best
- Make sure the light source is in front of your subject not behind them
- Try shining a light from below for a spooky looking picture
- Get the person to act out their costume for some candid shots
- To take a picture of a Jack O’ Lantern, try to take the picture at dusk before it gets too dark. Put extra candles inside to make it shine brighter, and make sure turn your flash OFF. Use a tripod or put the camera on a steady surface to avoid camera shake
- When it gets dark, make sure to increase your ISO, slow the shutter down and open up the apeture if you can put your camera on manual.
- HAVE FUN!!! and remember even if the picture is not perfectly posed it will still capture the moment and the personality of the person you’re taking the picture of
SPECIAL: RSVP by November 6th to receive a $5 coupon to use for purchases you make that night. Plus, you’ll receive a sneak peak of my pages as soon as they’re ready!!!
Hope to see you all soon and Happy Halloween!
