There are so many reasons why I love the holidays. The main reasons, I am sure, are why you all love them: seeing your family friends and loved ones and sharing some truly special moments that only come but one time per year. This year was not any different than the last, and I had my digital SLR camera with me, in hand, to capture all of the happy moments on film forever. My awesome digital SLR camera even has a light meter and a built in flash, so taking pictures over at my brother’s house was easy as the apple pie we ate for desert that night, following a lovely Xmas Eve dinner. Then afterwards, snapping photos of people opening their gifts, and the amazing looks on their faces using my digital SLR camera was also quite an invigorating experience. The cool thing about my digital SLR camera is that the LCD backlit screen allows for me to easily see what the shot looks like right after taking it—so I can make sure that I get some really amazing photos that are memorable for years to come!
