Time flies fabulously fast. It would seem that we have only just begun preparations for Christmas, and it is already stepping confidently around the planet. Soon the festive atmosphere will be hidden in boxes together with decorations. That's why we suggest you jump on the last wagon of Christmas photo sessions and shoot garlands and sparklers. At least at home, for yourself. After all, they have amazing tantalizing charms of magic, and with the help of these pictures you can prolong the New Year's fairy tale and get inspired for the whole year.
Here are a few photos so that you do not need to search for examples on the vastness of the Internet for a long time. They are not very many, but they are simple in execution and can be easily taken by anyone.
- A garland of little lights is great for close portrait photography. Open the aperture on your camera wide and catch the bokeh.
- Bokeh Christmas tree. Turn on manual focus and adjust the size of the circles yourself. If you work hard, you can make shaped bokeh - hearts, stars, etc. But this is a separate topic for discussion.
- Just the two of us. Just wrap a garland around your sweetheart and that's it, a romantic shoot is ready.
- With an umbrella, blanket, photo cards, a jar. And any other item you have on hand. With garland, everything becomes atmospheric.))
- Photo card(s) against a Christmas tree or garland. The principle is the same: beautiful bokeh on the background. And you can choose whatever pictures you want. Something from the past year or New Year's themed.
- Pets. Be careful, make sure that your pet does not bite the wire and hurt himself. If your cat or dog likes to fool around like this, it is better to refrain from such a photo session.
- Flatlay with garland. For lovers of beautiful layouts, the garland will be a cool addition or accent in the frame.
By the way, you don't have to put the garland away with the rest of your Christmas decorations. You can use it to decorate your room by attaching photo cards to it with clothespins. You can order a ready-made set of garland and photo cards at our store (with 5% discount by promo code LIGHT). Don't forget to take photos of the process of hanging photo cards, the pictures will turn out very beautiful and atmospheric.
Let's move on to sparklers.
I'll be honest, I've been looking for something interesting and non-standard for a long time, and I haven't found much. That gave me the idea to create something ourselves. Maybe next year we'll get creative. In the meantime...
- The standard, but always beautiful and festive option is simply holding a Bengal in your hand. Focus on him. Take a first-person photo, a portrait, or hold the bengal for two. Everything is simple, and the mood is plus
.
- Sticking a light in food. Preferably in something photogenic and festive.
- This is the coolest shot I've ever gotten! But you know, it's probably taken in the summer, and not everyone will go for it. Any of you guys brave enough? Don't forget to save a couple of Bengals for summer!
- Freezelight - painting with light. It seems difficult, but actually no, you can even manage in one. You'll need a tripod and a long shutter speed, and just paint or draw whatever you want.
All the pictures taken now, you will be able to use next year as New Year cards, send your family and friends beautiful photo cards before the Christmas, so do not be lazy to give this activity time.
P. S. Be careful when using sparklers!
