Vacations and Photography
I’m going to be leaving for Florida Thursday to spend two weeks in the Sunshine State! My husband’s family has rented a house on Anna Maria Island and then I’ll spend the second week in Melbourne with my folks. I plan to bring my Nikon to capture pictures of the family and to get pictures of the beach etc. However, I struggle sometimes when I’m on vacation when it comes to shooting pictures. As you can probably tell I love photography, but I often just want to sit back, relax and not necessarily take photos. I seem to have my camera with me everyday for magazine shoots, modeling shoots etc. and sometimes it’s nice to just set it aside for awhile. Now, when I go on a vacation that is a once in a lifetime trip, I take tons of pictures. For example, I went to Ireland in 2006 and took 1,000 pictures! But heading to the beach isn’t really anything new. There are times that I have left the camera at home and come across something that would have been a great photo. I’m always looking for the next great shot. I do want to bring it with me next week to get some pictures of the family. Both my sisters-in-law now have babies, so taking pictures of them is important. I can always hand the camera over to my husband
