Whether you’re embarking on a family vacation or your family reunion, it’s going to be a special time. Once
we think of trips we’ve taken, we tend to remember them better with photographs. Here’s several ideas to enhance your vacation as well as your memories of them.
Location Preparation
1) Since you cognize wherever
you’re going (that's a minimum requirement), doesn’t it do sense to check out the location before you get there? Create a list of attractions, accommodations, special points of interest, amusement areas, shopping, etc. A good source to help you do this is: the Places and Travel section of msn.com ( http://groups.msn.com/Browse?CatId=179)
2) Numbers out the exposure opportunities for each appropriate venue. Anyone can take a “that’s nice” image of the kids at an amusement park. Wouldn’t you rather capture a “WOW” exposure that could be decorated
over the mantle?
3) Depending on the location you’re traveling to, you can see what books are written simply about them that highlight the better exposure opportunities for the entire area
4) If you’re cyber-savvy, start at www.google.com and search mistreatment several combinations of: your destination, better photography locations, for images of the location, scenic spots, etc. The options are endless.
5) If you’re off to a non-big city area, scout out the national parks in the area. The great thing simply about national parks is that the scenery is commonly so breathtaking, that a so-so shot looks outstanding, simply because of the subject. Once in www.nps.gov, do a search on photos and you wish be conferred with terrific shots of all the parks
Photography Preparation
OK, you’re either traveling through or you’re at a extraordinary location full of exposure opportunities. You began this leg of your trip at the crack of dawn and as you’re actuation into the most scenic overlook for 400 miles, the sun is simply starting to crack the horizon.
You instinctively pull the car over, grab your camera and your tripod, and look for the better spot to set up. Simply one diminutive little problem… YOU FORGOT YOUR TRIPOD! Rather than smack yourself on the forehead then, why not plan these things now, before you leave?
Your list should include AT LEAST the following consideration…
1) Do I need to repeat – BRING YOUR TRIPOD? It doesn’t take up more room, and as explained at www.best-family-photography-tips.com/tripod-photography.html, tripods allow you to capture entirely new categories of photographs that won’t be possible without one
2) Memory. Of course, bring all the memory you have, but as well pack your portable storage device (explained at http://www.best-family-photography-tips.com/digital-photography-tutorial.html)
3) If your camera has a hot shoe, bring your external flash, and any additional instrumentation
that can be used to help with bounce flash
4) Remember your external shutter release cable for those long exposures. How else are you going to get that “angel-hair” look of the waterfalls?
5) Don’t forget the basics like: batteries, battery charger, camera bag, and additional lenses and filters (if applicable on your camera)
6) And simply in case you need it, bring the manuals for your equipment.
Finally, don’t get so wrapped up in taking perfect shots that you don’t enjoy the trip. Remember to use the stand
so that you'll be in at least several of the photos.
