You don't really have to be a professional photographer to be
able to capture special moments with family on camera. If you
have a digital camera and you know how to snap pictures at the
right moment, you can already create some really interesting
photo collection.
Getting Started
One of the most interesting photo projects that you could start
is a creative memories collection for the whole family. This is
rather an ambitious project especially if you belong to a big
family but if you can easily pull this off with the help of the
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Photosmart All-in-One products. The
printing & amp, and digital imaging system, of HP is very
reliable and easy to use so you do not have to worry of ruining
your pictures.
To get started with your creative family memories photo project,
create an outline of what you intend to include in your creative
family memories photo project. You may include in your outline
the family history, the special moments such as marriages and
births and other memorable occasions. To complete your family
history sections, find some old pictures of the family. Ask the
help of other family members to locate old pictures of your
grandparents. Never mind if these old pictures are in black and
white. You can always enhance their appearance by editing and
adding some features into these old pictures. Since most of
these old pictures use films, you need to scan these pictures to
translate them into digital images. If you have an HP scanner in
the house, use that scanner to capture the images. In case where
you do not have a scanner, you can use your digital camera to
take a picture of the old photographs. You may latter on use
your computer to edit the pictures that you have taken. Note
that with the use of the right photo editing software, you can
easily remove blemishes from old photographs and give these old
pictures a more attractive look.
Aside from old pictures, you may also ask the help of your
family members to gather some recent digital pictures of family
activities. Select a few of these pictures and add them to your
collection. You may classify these pictures and put them in
different sections such as vacations, weddings, birthdays,
graduation, job promotion and others. You may also create a
special section dedicated sole for children. Children are always
good subjects and they will add more drama to your photo
collection. Adding a collage of pictures of children in the
family in your photo project can be very interesting.
Once you have all the pictures that you need, you can now start
writing labels and captions. Some funny comments here and there
will prove to be very interesting indeed.
