Hanukkah Photo Tips

With 8 nights of celebrating, you'll have many chances to capture memories for your scrapbook pages. Try these three tips to capture stunning and unique photographs.  

Turn off the flash and use a slower shutter speed to take pictures of the menorah.  Whenever you use a slow shutter speed, it's good to use a tripod to avoid camera shake.  A bag of beans or rice makes a great tripod in a pinch!

Shot from an unusual angle.  Hillary Heidlberg was able to capture a much more interesting picture by shooting straight down.  Mix it up and take pictures from above, the side, very close up, or even from the ground!

Take pictures of the details.  When combined, pictures of individual elements create the scene of a beautiful Hanukkah celebration on your scrapbook page.

Thanks for the tip on using the rice or beans as a tripod - I don't own one and will DEFINITELY have to try it!

Love the idea of the hidden journaling behind the pictures of individual elements.  Makes a very attractive page.
