I like to have fun with photography. I always look for ways to be creative and I have found a good way to make some neat photos with the X-mas tree. Most photographers take the same photo of the Xmas tree every year. They place it in a corner and set up a tripod with their camera on top and shoot a few photos. I'm not saying anything bad about that but sometimes it's nice to switch things up and get funky. So while you are taking these photos turn on the disco music (or Xmas music). So, what I did was:
1.Got rid of the tripod, handheld the camera.
2. Turned off the lights in the room.
3. Set my camera shutter speed to 1 second. You can adjust this to your liking. Also, change the fstop for different shots to get the effect you want.
4. Moved the camera while the shutter is open.
Some people actually toss their cameras with the shutter open. You get a cool effect this way too, but I am not taking responsibility for broken cameras.
Hope you enjoyed the tips. Let me know if you have any questions:)
