For those tasked with taking the Thanksgiving Day Photos this may be of interest
This is a wonderful opportunity for great family pictures. After all, this may be your only chance all year to photograph the entire family together from the newest baby to great grandmother. But if you want to transform your so-so snapshots into memorable Thanksgiving photographs for the family album, here are a few simple guidelines to follow.
The most important guideline is to know exactly what you want to be the subject of each picture. If it's Great Grandmother, when you look through the viewfinder make sure that she's the most important thing in the frame and try to eliminate anything that distracts from her. If the subject is the carved turkey, do the same for it.
The second key element to capture in your Thanksgiving photograph is the spirit of the occasion, and we have already defined the spirit of Thanksgiving as family and togetherness.
