Photograph Your Special Memories
Special events like weddings and births only come around once in a while, so if you have an important event coming up it’s a good idea to get your camera poised at the ready to catch any precious moments as they happen. Whether you are attending a wedding, christening or just a fun night out there are several ways that you can make sure you get the perfect shot that you will treasure for years to come.
The first thing to do to ensure you get the best pictures possible is to make sure you know your camera settings. Often people just click away without checking how their pictures will turn out, but you don’t want to get home and realise all your pictures are blurry or too dark to even see. If you can, remember to take your camera manual with you so you can be sure you are getting the best performance from your equipment.
Posed photos are always nice but some of the best and most memorable shots come when people don’t realise they are being photographed at all, so get snap happy and try to take unusual shots so that your albums don’t end up looking too boring. Don’t forget to ask people to take some pictures of you too so that you won’t be missed out when it comes to looking through your photos after the event.
Once you have all the snaps you want from your day there are plenty of interesting and unusual ways you can preserve your photos. If you’re looking to give your photos to someone as a present you don’t just have to give them a bog standard photo album, instead opt for an unusual gift like a mug or a mouse mat, which have their special memories printed directly on them. This way, they can treasure the memory everyday, without having to shuffle through piles of photographs or albums.
Even if you are turning your photos into a special gift always remember to print out a copy so you have them to hand when ever you want to look back at the event.
More often than not people tend to store photos on a computer or their phone but these are easily damaged, and can be lost completely if you have a technical malfunction. Instead of leaving your special memories on a piece of technology, print them out or save a few copies in various places so you can be sure you won’t ever lose them. You can print your photos in plenty of different ways from ordering prints online to using simple and inexpensive home photo printers. Whatever way you decide to get your photos printed you won’t be sorry once you have them safely in your hands.
If you are looking to save some of the best and most special memories this year, remember to take your camera with you wherever you go, so you can be sure to catch that magical shot that you and your family will treasure for a lifetime
