Tips to Take the Perfect Tree Photo
Showing off your tree may seem simple, but it can actually be a little difficult to photograph well. These tips will help you take a picture of your decorated tree and set you up for sparkling success:
- Expose for the bright lights. If you're taking a tree photo in the dark with your phone, tap the lights to tell your camera to expose for them. Everything else will be a bit darker, but you'll be able to see the glowing magic.
- For portraits, use another light too. Most really pretty pictures of people in front of trees have a window or other light source out of the shot that lights the person's face more evenly than the tree lights.
- Use a mix of LED and incandescent lights to get the lights to show up in photos. LEDs flicker on and off faster than you can see but not faster than your camera shoots, so not all of them will be lit in your pictures. Add a string of old-fashioned incandescent bulbs for the best pictures.
- Take lots of photos from different angles. If you move around and take close and far-away shots, you might be surprised which ones you'll love the most. Plus, with kids or pets, more photos make it likely you'll get a great one.
Spruce Up Your Christmas Tree Posts
Spruce up your holiday tree photos with the perfect captions so you can share the love and magic with all the people who are special to you. There's no wrong way to caption a Christmas tree photo, so just have some fun and choose your favorite.
