Insider Tips for Holiday Photos

We've blogged numerous times before about taking great vacations photos (for a full round-up of these tips, see The Aloha Insider article in which we consolidated our various prior postings). Now, with the holidays approaching, when photo-snapping opportunities abound, it seems worth adding a few more insider tips related to photos:

If you haven't gone digital yet, here are a number of good reasons to consider it now:

  1. Going digital provides lots of easy options for storing your photos. You can save them on CDs, DVDs, your computer's hard drive, memory cards, online (at sites like mozy.com, xdrive.com, or carbonite.com ). Choosing at least 2 of these options means that you'll always have a back-up somewhere, and thus makes your photo collection much, much safer than just having it in albums or shoe boxes.
  2. Sharing photos via online photo albums (like those at Flickr, Shutterbug or KodakGallery.com) is incredibly easy and fun.
  3. Digital photography provides lots of ways to view your photos. For example, you can assemble slide shows for your computer (we like using them as screensavers), or print them out and put in traditional photo albums.
  4. Going digital makes your photos better because it is so easy to crop, sharpen, make lighter or darker, delete red-eye or otherwise tinker using photo-editing software (like iPhoto or whatever came with your camera).
  5. When you save your photos on your computer, be sure to organize them into folders with names that make sense to you (e.g. "NYC Trip"); if you have time, rename the photos, too. Some photo-editing software also allows captions -- use this option if you want more information/detail than the file name allows.
