Santa Puppy Christmas Photos
Try Closeup Digital Photos of Your Puppy
If you can get your pup to stay still for more 
than a moment, try to capture a closeup shot like this one. I used a Kodak EasyShare Z980 in Sport (or Action) mode. I moved in close to the pup’s nose with my camera in a vertical position. (Had to clean the lens a couple of times from puppy nose juice before I got the shot I wanted!)
Snap a few shots — not everyone will work out perfectly — so give yourself some choices.
I “Photoshopped” in the Santa hat — which I downloaded from Microsoft’s ClipArt site. (Had to resize it a bit to work on this photo — but wanted it to look small and goofy on the pup. continue reading
Christmas Gifts That Hunters and Fishermen Will Love!
So you’ve got some outdoor sporting enthusiasts in your family. 
Wondering what kind of unique — yet personal — gift you can give them this Christmas?
How about using one of the photos of their proud conquest to make a sportsman photo gift for them?
Personal Poster. Here I’ve used a deer hunter with his buck to make a 12″x18″ poster that can be easily framed. Just $2.75 for the poster print.

You’ll really enjoy those! continue reading
