Features : Holidays : Halloween : Scrapbooks & Photo Albums

You can capture great Halloween snapshots with any camera or camera phone. It's easier than Trick or Treat! Here are some tips to shooting spook-tacular Halloween photo albums and scrapbook pictures.

Use a fast film or fast setting on your camera. Zoom in to get details with your telephoto lens or feature, then zoom out and shoot again to get a photo with the full costume effect. If you have a super zoom capabilty, try capturing candid photos from a distance - they're often the best photos!

When shooting kids in costume, keep the little ones in front or seated. Action shots are also great - kids on the doorstep gathering treats, bobbing for apples or eating donuts on a string ... and don't forget to take photos as the kids are finishing with getting dressed or putting on makeup and masks. Get a before, during and after shot of the costume and masking activities.
