Picture Perfect: How to Photograph Snow
A month of hints on how to take happy holiday photos
This is the third article in a series called "Picture Perfect" about how to take great holiday photos. Sooner or later, snow will arrive. When it does, you’ll rush out to take photos of snow angels, frolicking kids and puppies and the snowman on the front lawn. You’ll see bright white flakes.

Picture Perfect: How to Snap Photos of Holiday Lights
A month of hints for happy holiday pictures

We pointed from the car and kept moving. Now, though, folks get out and snap a photo. But the twinkling lights, and other holiday photos, aren't easy to capture. Starting today, we're going to run a series that describes how to snap photos of lights, family and other holiday moments so you can preserve those memories.
