Greetings!
The days are getting longer and warmer and with Christmas rapidly approaching it's time to start thinking about your Christmas cards and gifts! But first of all there's Guy Fawkes so take your camera along to an organised display and capture some photos - we've some tips below.
You may have already noticed the Alzheimer's logo in this newsletter. Alzheimers Waikato and Snapshot Cameras are both dealing with Waikato people's memories so we feel this is an approriate not-for-profit organisation for us to support. So help them by coming along to our Photo Gift Making Evening or by purchasing a calendar.
Between now and Christmas you have a chance to win a Kawasaki Mountain Bike - one entry for every $100 you spend - so we look forward to seeing you doing all your Christmas shopping in-store!
If you missed our October workshop you'll be please to know our tutor is coming back to run a similar workshop in December. Participants are invited to stay for some Christmas treats afterwards :-) |
Photographing Fireworks- Take a tripod or monopod, a torch, spare battery & spare memory card.
- Find a good position - get set-up before dark to be sure there are no trees in your way. If you're sitting on the grass, take the higher ground so those who arrive after you do not block your view. If fireworks are being launched over water, position yourself to include some reflections.
- compact cameras - go to SCENE mode and select FIREWORKS option if available. If not, shoot on Auto.
- SLR owners - detailed information can be found on this page
