5 Indispensable Tips for Great Vacation Photos

[WDWFigment]

All of my mindless banter explaining each of the tips can be found on my website, but here are the basics:

5. Bring the right gear.
4. Capture the details.
3. Establish the scene.
2. Get in the shot.
1. Focus on the moments.

The full article has a lot of useful tips (I think) and things that are important for even experienced photographers to remember: http://www.disneytouristblog.com/vacation-photo-tips/

Thanks for posting these tips! They came at the perfect time. DH and I will be there next week for a trip without our boys. My plan is to take it slow and concentrate on the details.

Great tips. I would like to add that signs make for great scene setting shots. They are especially useful if you scrap or make slideshows.

Really "see"...look around and capture the details and moments that other people miss.

Especially at WDW, guests are in such a hurry to get their money's-worth that they're sadly oblivious to much of the magic.

Great tips...but not just for vacation photos; I'd say they apply to parties, holidays, and other family/friends events as well.

Agreed. The level of detail that Disney puts into its signs is surprising, too!
