Holidays are meant for relaxing, having fun and, if we’re being honest, making everyone back home jealous with lots of lovely photos! From local food and beaches, to interesting architecture and nights out, it’s all worth snapping for the memory book.
f you’ve got something interesting in mind, you’re halfway there. From this point, ask yourself how to make it even more exciting. For example, with an impressive building:
- What do you want to focus on? Is there anything that sets it apart?
- Is a straight-on photo going to do it justice, or should you use an angle? Straight-on photos can look a little flat and feel impersonal, so opting for an angle is often best.
Take photos of the subject and from the subject. This creates dynamic shots and when you’re flicking through your image folder you’ll get an all-round impression of your subject; for example, the building’s unique points and decoration, and a view from the higher floors of the surrounding landscape.
Say something about your destination: Holiday photos are personal to everyone, but it’s great when they reveal something about your chosen destination so someone can say, “Oh, you went to Cyprus and saw the painted churches?” With this in mind, capture landmarks as well as photographing your friends, partner and family. Although it must be said, for the most part avoid clichés! Yeah, we thought this gallery would look familiar! A little too familiar…Instead, save these snaps for your camera-phone and get some giggles when sharing online.
