Get uncluttered shots

Get in close and focus on one aspect of a costume—in this case, the makeup.
  • Whether photographing costumes, decorations, parties or Halloween parades, pick the most important facet and zero in on it by moving in close. By doing this, you'll avoid a common photography error: cluttered pictures with no discernable subject or not enough detail.

  • You can also narrow the focus of your photos with color. Try snapping a field of orange pumpkins, for example.

Add extra light inside pumpkins


A Halloween Jack O' Lantern To take pumpkin pictures that really shine, you need to let the light through-and add extra wattage. Try these tips:

  • Cut extra-large openings for eyes and big, jagged smiles.

  • Use two or three candles inside the pumpkin. Or, place a flashlight in the pumpkin.


Take photos at twilight

Use available light at dusk for dramatic effects.

Plan to take pictures in the hour leading up to sundown. This time of day is ideal because there's still some light in the sky, which means you can take pictures without a flash. Ideally, use a tripod during twilight hours.

Other ways to deal with low-light conditions include:

  • Turn off auto-flash: Your camera's automatic flash will come on at night, but for better results, turn it off and use a flashlight to illuminate spooky subjects from the side or below.

  • Use the Night Portrait setting on your HP camera, which uses flash and a long exposure to avoid blurry results. Set your camera on a tripod for best results.

Terrific trick or treat shots

If you're welcoming children to your door, work with a partner: Have one person open the door and greet the kids while the other snaps away. When taking your kids trick-or-treating, position yourself so that you can photograph them as they receive treats.

Halloween photo party favors


A portable HP printer printing Halloween photos Photos make excellent party favors. Whether you're hosting the Halloween party or attending one, have your digital camera and a portable photo printer on hand. Get people to pose in costume or with props, and send them home with instant photo memories of all the fun.
