HOLIDAY PHOTO TIP Don't forget the details... Small scenes and close-up images can help round out any holiday photo essay. Zero in on a festive dinner table or a vase of flowers, a seasonal still-life arrangement, a display of gifts, a holiday window display, seasonal decorations. The long list goes on. You won't need any specialized gear (any lens works). Have fun looking beyond the overall scene! -by Kerry Drager

Notes and News from BetterPhoto:
By Susan and Neil Silverman
There are good and bad vignettes. Bad is when the filters or a lens shade or hood of the camera is in the frame of the image and there are dark hard edges in the photo. A good vignette is accomplished by a photo-editing program and just softly and gradually shades or darkens the edge of the photo; this is very subtle and holds the viewer's eyes within the image and keeps the attention on the subject. It was a style often used with old portraits. The viewer will not detect a good vignette, but it will just be one of those finishing touches that very often makes a photo jump right out. Note: The Silvermans teach three excellent online photo courses at BetterPhoto. See their instructor bio and list of classes here... In Jim Zuckerman's brand-new online seasonal course, you'll learn how to take eye-catching photos in snow country. Snow Photography kicks off in January, but enroll now and receive an early lesson. Although 2 weeks in length, this class has all the interactivity of our regular classes (Campus Square, pro feedback, weekly lessons, and class discussions). Be ready for a fast, fun, and exciting online adventure! ...from the judges: Confused about what category to use for your entry? Think about what the major idea of the photo is depicting.
