Holiday photography

[jonneymendoza]

Hi all. how do u approach and go about taking holiday pics when on holiday with friends/family?

Do you tell everyone to pause for a moment while you capture a shot or do you drag others to a certain please purely to capture a specific shot, Or do u just take shots as you go along?

i personally do both as i do not want to be a chore amongs family/friends but i also do want to capture something unique that i simply cant do when im back home and at a place where i most likely will never return again.

Thoughts?

Fit photography round the holiday not the other way round. It's always worked for me!

+1 on Alex's comment.

It helps if you have your camera always in your hand ready to shoot, as far as practicable.

My holiday shots are split between my 'creative' stuff of the landscape/archtecture of the area and people/family shots, which I prefer to be candid rather than posed as I think the atmosphere of the trip is caught this way.

Enjoy the holiday with family then take a shot! Unless will miss a lot of fun.

Do both, I manage it. Your family are more likely to appreciate the photos of them posed in front of landmarks and as a group on the beach, in the bar etc. than the 'arty ones'.
