FAMILY & FRIENDS

GROUPS

The secret to great family shots is to try and capture
everyone interacting together
Trying to be a bit more creative with your
group shots can yield more pleasing results.
Getting the group to interact in some way,
even taking them to a location that makes
that interaction possible, say a woodland,
park or garden, adds an extra dimension –
and they don't all have to be looking at the
camera. Keep your composition tight around
your group to avoid distracting backgrounds
and why not ask them to wear clothes that
will add a splash of colour. When posing,
don't just line them up, get your subjects at
different levels and heights – perhaps use
a tree or fence if outdoors, or the back of a
sofa or the stairs if at home.

Use the NX's Face Detection mode to perfectly focus and expose up to
ten faces in your picture.
DON'T FORGET: ADD A LITTLE FLASH
If there is contrasty light on faces use the Flash to even out the
shadows and highlights, and give eyes a pleasing sparkle.
THE POCKET GUIDE TO THE SAMSUNG NX
To shoot a wide group of
people in the Panoramic
mode half press the shutter
and slowly sweep the
camera horizontally across
the group.
