This post was supposed to post last week but did not for some unknown reason! So here it is...
Hi Everyone! Welcome back to Photo Friday! I thought since I am currently in Disney World that I would do a quick post about vacation photos.
So, what makes a good vacation photo? I think the best photos are the ones that tell a story. Yes, you need a photo of your child hugging Mickey Mouse but also get a close up of the two of them holding hands. That sweet chubby dimpled hand enveloped in that large hand of Mickey can have quite an impact.
Be ready with your camera to shoot those moments of wonder. If you know Mickey is coming around the corner, already have your camera focused on your child's face so you do not miss that look of joy when she spots him. Please don't wait until after Mickey is already hugging your child because then you have missed the beginning of the story.
Shoot the good stuff but don't forget the bad. Photograph those long lines and if your child has a meltdown (and I think everyone at Disney World does at some point or another, including myself!), please shoot it! These photos help tell the complete story. While Disney World is the "Happiest Place on Earth" it is sometimes fun to remember the not so happy moments too.
Try and avoid the tons of boring photos that nobody wants to look at....for instance, you may want one photo of the castle but do you really need fifteen of them? Better yet, be sure and pose your family in front of the castle so that you have the story of not Disney World but your family at Disney World. We have a photo taken of my family in front of the castle when I was about five. Every time we go back we try and take another photo in about the same place. It is fun to watch us change over the years.
Most important - make sure you have plenty of memory and batteries. Believe me you do not want to have to purchase either in the park itself so be sure and BYO.
Have a great time and Happy Shooting!!
