Unique photo projects to capture special moments
You don't really have to be a professional photographer to be able to capture special moments with family in front of the camera. If you have a digital camera and know how to take pictures at the right moment, you can actually create a really interesting photo collection.
One of the most interesting photo projects you can start is a collection of creative memories for the whole family.
This is an ambitious project especially if you belong to a large family but if you can easily make it happen with the help of Hewlett-Packard (HP) Photosmart All-in-One products.
HP's Digital Printing and Imaging System is extremely reliable and easy to use, so you don't have to worry about damaging your photos.
To get started with a Creative Family Memories Project, create an outline of what you intend to include in your Creative Family Memories Project.
You can include family history and special moments such as marriages, births, and other memorable occasions in your planner.
To complete your family history sections, find some old photos of the family.
Ask other family members for help identifying old photos of your grandparents. Don't bother if these old photos are black and white.
You can always improve their look by editing and adding some features to these old photos.
Since most of these old photos use films, you need to scan these photos to translate them into digital photos.
In the absence of a scanner, you can use your digital camera to take a picture of your old photographs. You can finally when you use your computer to edit the photos you took.
Note that with proper photo editing software, you can easily remove blemishes from old photos and give these old photos a more attractive look.
Apart from old photos, you can also ask your family members for help to collect some recent digital photos of family activities.
Select some of these images and add them to your collection.
You can categorize these images and put them in different sections like holidays, weddings, birthdays, graduations, job promotions and more.
You can also create a special section dedicated to children. Babies are always good subjects and they will add more drama to your photo collection.
Adding a group of photos of the children in the family into your photo project can be a lot of fun.
Once you have all the images you need, you can now start writing stickers and captions. Some funny comments here and there will prove to be really very interesting.
