"With just a little planning," says Sam Garcia, Nikon School Instructor, "unforgettable holiday snapshots become a breeze." The holidays present a world of unforgettable moments waiting to be captured on film. "Start with a camera that is easy to use -- like Nikon's Pronea S -- and make sure you have lots of film."

Nikon makes taking holiday pictures easy with these and other great holiday tips available on the toll-free Nikon Holiday Photo Tips Hotline (1-888-MY-NUVIS). Some of Sam's other tips include:

-- Be Prepared. Make sure your camera is loaded and has fresh batteries before the holidays start. There's nothing worse than missing that perfect shot because you're batteries are dead.

-- The First Snow. When taking photos of friends and family frolicking in the snow, be sure to use a flash. This allows the faces of your subject to be perfectly illuminated, keeping strong winter shadows out of the picture.

-- Candid Kids. Take candid pictures of children rather than posing them. Spontaneous photos are more fun and let the kid's personality really come out. For that special "kids-eye" view of the world, get down and take pictures from their level.

-- Fun Faces. Great facial expressions can really make a picture. To really capture a meaningful facial expression, get in close. Fill the frame with the face of you subject and create an unforgettable memory. Nikon's Pronea S camera combines the quality of a single lens reflex, versatility of the Advanced Photo System and the simplicity of a point-and-shoot camera into just 15 portable ounces, making it an ideal stocking stuffer for that special someone.
