Thursday Thirteen and Tuesday's Tip Jar - Photo Opportunities

Posting this for Thursday Thirteen and Tuesday's Tip Jar...



Here's some ideas on taking photos when your bored taking the same old, same old. I posted some of these ideas on a message board that I came up with to do something different in your scrapbooks. Good for groups, family gatherings, weddings, anytime.

1. Take a group shot. Make sure your in a few of those photos.

2. Try to capture tender moments between couples or children.

3. Take a few photos of the food.

4. Don't forget the drinks.

5. At reunions or other gatherings take a photo of games the children and adults do and write a little bit about them. Take a photo of handheld games to or ones connected to the TV. They will be extinct later and it would be fun to see them. Remember Atari?

6. Take a photo of the weather outside that day and journal on your page how the weather affected the mood of the party or not at all if that's the case.

7. Take a photo of different people's shoes and do a page saying guess which relative shoes these are and then on the opposite page make a hidden number page with a flap to cover the answers so everyone can read them. (Make sure you write on a piece of paper what number they are on your camera so when you get them developed you know.)

8. How about go around and ask what hobby everyone likes. Then take a photo of their hands and list the hobby that those hands create. You could do a guessing game page of the hands instead of shoes the same way.

9. Ask the adults what they wanted to be when they were kids and do stories about those. For the children, ask them what they want to be when they grown up. That way you get them both in.

10. Go around and ask everyone what they remember about the grandmother or gr. grandmother and write stories about that. If gram is still alive, ask what they like best about her. Could do one for grandfather to.

11. How about taking photos of their hair? Blank out the faces on your computer, and do a guessing page about who's hair style that is. That would be funny later on.

12. Take a photo of something related to what's going on in the news that day and scrapbook about that. Tell your news of the day on one side and the other page tell about what the news is around the world or in your local area.

Here's one more that someone else thought of on the message board.

13. For a group picture, try to get ABOVE the crowd, on a ladder or something. Have everyone look up at you--a different perspective!
