Return to article: How to Improve Your Vacation Photos
on 8/18/2008 I like this tips. If you have time for holiday in the future, don't forget to take vacation to Bali. Wow, bring your digital camera and capture all cultural/traditional events in Bali. It's really fastastic. Please visit this blog so you will know Bali before you go there: http://bali-universe.blogspot.com
on 8/12/2008 Cool comments. I'd also recommend a "framing technique": avoid putting the main object of attention in the center of your photo. Off to the left or right is often much more aesthetically pleasing, even though for us bifurcated human beings that idea sometimes is counter-intuitive.

on 8/11/2008 For important and iconic sights, take photos with and without people. If your photos come out well enough, it's nice to frame them in series: i.e. stained glass of Normandy, fountains of Paris, views along the Milford Track, etc. For awhile, my husband insisted that there a family member in every photo. My visage ruined some otherwise beautiful photos---especially if I was scowling because I didn't really want to stand in front of the German bunker in the rain.
on 8/11/2008 Excellent article and Cassie T's point is so important. The old pictures your family will like to look at will have people in them. Trust me....
on 8/11/2008 One very important pointer (which deserves its own mention) is this: Include your friends and family in your photos - even your landscape and scenic photos. This isn't a rule for every single picture, but I think you'll find you like the pictures with people in them much better than the still-life photos. Putting your fellow travelers in the photos personalizes the trip and gives meaning, memories, and context to your photos.
on 8/11/2008 Good article. I like my digital camera, b/c if I take a bad pic I can just delete it and start over. Thanks!

on 8/11/2008 One of the most important things is to actually learn how to use your camera settings before you go. Read the manual, learn what each setting does, as well as how to access that feature. You can take pictures of yourself against a sunset at home (or in other tricky lighting conditions) to get a feel for what settings work best. For example, if you're taking a picture of a person against a bright background (like a sunset) you are going to likely need to use the flash to brighten up your faces. Figuring out how to make sure the flash fires even when it's bright out is important to know beforehand, so you don't miss a great picture opportunity.
on 8/11/2008 Even simpler, buy postcards of the place you visit, scan them, and then paste pictures of yourselves into the scanned images. This can be an economical way of enhancing your vacation, and not having to worry about taking photographs.
on 7/20/2008 Very useful information. I've learned a lot about photo composition from looking at other's photos and seeing what catches my eye or has impact.
