Tech Tip of the Week:
Better Group or family Photos, No Special Gear Needed

Trying to take a great group photo? Someone always blinks or looks away or sneezes at the wrong moment. Here’s a simple fix.

Don’t take a photo at all. Shoot a video instead.

Just use your phone. No special equipment needed. Hold it or set it on something steady if you want to be in the shot. Don’t tell the group it’s recording. Just act like you’re taking a regular picture.

Get them smiling. Get them laughing. Let the moment play out naturally.

Afterward, open the video and scroll through it slowly with your finger. You can go frame by frame and find the exact moment where everyone looks perfect and just screenshot it. No app or complicated software required.

If you want to make it easier, use an app like Video-2-Photo to pull the still image.

It works, it’s easy, and you’ll never go back to snapping 20 photos hoping for one good one. Powered by Airtech Jobs Tn “We’re hiring!!”
