Featured Photo
Check out this photo taken at Christmas in 1944—the tree was a gift from the father who was serving overseas at the time.
Christmas 1944 in the Devereux house in Pinner. The Christmas tree was a gift from Mr. Devereux, who was serving in Italy. The tree was purchased through the ‘Gifts to Home League’ of the YMCA.
Photography Tip
Snow scenes are full of bright white color. Your camera will see this and will try to turn all the pure white into grey, leaving the resulting photo looking like a portrait of dirty snow. So, you have to trick your camera in order to take an accurate image of the snowy scene. Lower your ISO to 50 or 100, and open your lens up one or two f-stops more than the auto setting suggests.

Artwork Idea
While usually fun and decorative, Christmas tree ornaments can also be deeply personal and nostalgic. Many families have ornaments that symbolize weddings, anniversaries, a first Christmas, vacations, and more. If you want to decorate your tree with something that’s truly personalized and meaningful, consider using your scanned photos to create an ornament featuring a special picture.
