Today, I’m sharing travel tips on vacation photos. When you go on vacation, you make memories that will last a lifetime. What better way to document those memories than to take great photos? You can store them in an album, put them on your wall or even give them as gifts to everyone who vacationed with you.
Here’s a few tips on how to take memorable vacation photos:
Tell a Story
The most engaging photos will always tell a story. Try and take photos of any key moments so that you can build a narrative of your journey. For example, take a photograph of your suitcase before you go. Additionally, take a photograph of the plane or train you are travelling on. Furthermore, when you have reached your destination take a photo. This will tell a story and it will also show how you got from point A to point B.
Take your Camera Everywhere
Always have a camera within arm’s reach. It doesn’t matter if you use the camera on your smartphone, the goal is to capture the moments. It may also be worth taking some kind of waterproof carry case with you. A down pour could occur any moment.

Timer
If you are traveling with a group then you will know how annoying it can be to always have one person left out of the vacation photos. If you want to get around this dilemma, use a selfie stick. Or, put your camera on a timer. Either options will allow everyone to be in the same shot and you don’t have to worry about leaving anyone out. If you are not sure how long to set the timer for, then 10 seconds is usually a great starting point. This gives everyone the chance to get in the right pose, and it also stops you from having to rush too much.
Scenic Shots
The last thing that you want to do is fill your vacation album with a ton of scenic photos. Nobody wants to see a huge range of photos that are all mediocre. If you want to avoid this, then only take a photo when you see a striking landscape. You might also want to get other people in front of the camera too so that you can get the ultimate travel photo.
Local Wildlife
If you are vacationing somewhere that has super unique wildlife, then you need to bring the right gear with you. A powerful zoom function will go a long way. It will help you capture birds, and other wildlife that you may come across. This can help make memorable vacation photos.
