Shooting Christmas Eve can start from the following aspects:

　　First of all, you can prepare dinner with your family or friends, make delicious food together, taste delicious food and enhance your feelings.

　　Secondly, you can choose to watch a warm movie, so that the whole family can spend a pleasant evening in laughter.

　　In addition, you can also choose to go to church to attend Christmas Eve worship and feel the festive atmosphere and religious significance.

　　Finally, you can be alone, think quietly, give yourself a relaxing space and enjoy the peace and warmth of Christmas Eve. In any case, the key is to keep a peaceful mind and a happy mood and enjoy this special night.

　　1. Shooting time

　　You must take light-painted photos in a dark environment! The most suitable time of the day is dusk, when the sun has just set and the sky is still blue before night falls. This touch of blue can make the top of your photo look more interesting and make the overall atmosphere of the photo full.

　　2, tripod and remote shutter

　　A stable tripod is essential for long exposure. Remote shutter (preferably wireless shutter) is also a very practical accessory, especially when there is no assistant to help you shoot. If you don't have a remote shutter, use the camera's shutter delay release function!

　　3, light painting tools

　　Flashlight, LED light board, fireworks … In fact, there are many different light sources that can be used for light painting photography. Many children's toys have various colors of light, and they are all very cheap (if you have children, you can borrow them).

　　Remember: the smaller the light source, the more obvious the lines drawn by light. If you only have a monochromatic light source but want to shoot a color effect, you can stick colored cellophane on the light source. You must have the spirit of experiment when taking this kind of photo!

　　4. Different light painting effects

　　Different ways of waving light sources across the screen will lead to completely different shooting results.

　　Light drawing sticks on the market generally give you more options. Usually, you can choose different colors and flashing frequencies to achieve the effect. Don't stick to the rules, try more ways to get the effect of catching people's eyes.

　　5. Camera settings

　　If you want to completely control the camera parameters, use the manual shooting mode. Set the exposure time to 10 seconds, and then adjust the aperture and ISO value according to the ambient light.

　　6, built-in white balance

　　The camera provides many white balance presets. A quick and convenient way to cool the tone of a photo is to choose the white balance setting.

　　This setting is used in the light of "warm white" fluorescent lamp, which tells the camera that the ambient color is warm, and the camera actively adds blue color to the photo in order to balance the color. If you think this white balance mode looks inaccurate, you can also choose to customize the white balance.

　　7. Adjust the white balance later.

　　In Camera Raw, you can find the color temperature and hue at the top of the basic module to adjust the white balance. You can also try to increase the exposure and contrast to enhance the photo effect.
