Photography Tips for a Family Vacation

Posted on March 14, 2017Author The Perennial TravelerLeave a comment

One of the best ways to capture the memories you create on vacation is with photography. Here are a few ideas about how to easily record your trip:

Keep your camera nearby. This is easier and easier now that many of us have cameras build into our cell phones. As the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you. Be ready to capture the moments you won’t want to forget.

Capture the little moments. Small details, such as the wildflowers you noticed on the side of the road or a special cup of coffee may feel just as meaningful later as the tourist attractions.

Avoid deleting. Even a simple photo editor can work wonders, so don’t be too quick to judge your photos before seeing how they can be improved.

Let everyone take some pictures. This is a wonderful way to capture different perspectives, and to bring the whole family into the process.

Be sure to use your photographs later! Whether you print them out, share them via text or email or create a calendar, make sure your memories don’t sit forgotten on your phone or computer. If you’re a member of Perennial Vacation Club, we’d love for your to share your photographs with us our our website, or tag us on Instagram at @perennialvacationclub or #perennialvacationclub.
