How to Take Great Halloween Photos |
 Pope
Gregory III started it all in 739 A.D. when he officially designated "All Saints
Day", but he wouldn't recognize Halloween as we celebrate it today. It's become
a night of fantasy for children of all ages, and with its pumpkins, costumes,
and trick-or-treating it's also a great opportunity for you to capture the spirit(s)
with your camera. |
"It's easy to turn this night of fantasy into permanent picture memories," says Chuck DeLaney, Dean of the New York Institute of Photography, "but you have to follow two simple guidelines or, excuse the pun, you won't have a ghost of a chance."
|
"The most important guideline," says DeLaney, "is to know exactly what you want to be the subject of your picture. Then, when you look through the viewfinder of your camera, make your subject the most important thing in the frame and try not to show anything that distracts from it. The second guideline is to try to capture the 'feeling' of the occasion too." |
