Just a couple days before Christmas, I'm getting my batteries charged up and everything ready to go. I can take some pretty good landscape shots, but almost never get really good indoor shots of people. I have no feel for it.
So for me...the toughest Christmas shot is my wife opening her present(s) and getting a good angle, good lighting, and that "perfect" moment. Usually there's too much wrapping paper, and other people "half in the shot" to get anything but a snapshot, and not a very good one at that.
This year I've scouted out the room and decided to maneuver my beloved into sitting in a corner with some simple decorations on the wall behind her. Then all I have to do is use my 105 mm lens to crop out most of the extraneous items on the left, right and floor. I've practiced with settings to get the right exposure (I hope). So...now all I have to do is actually release the shutter at the right moment!
What's your toughest shot and how are you going to tackle it this year?
