More Vacation Photo Tips

1. Foreground and Framing of Composition
Compositions are enhanced when there is a strong point of interest, for example - a flower, a tree, a mountain, a boat on the lake. Something in the foreground draws your interest best.

Framing an image with the leaves of a tree branch brings the
interest into your scene. People in a photo can give scale to large
objects or wide landscapes

2. Edit
Because you are probably using a digital camera, take lots of
pictures. You can edit them when you get home and throw out the
ones you don't want. When taking group shots be sure to take
more than one. Someone is bound to have their eyes closed or
their head turned. Don't be stingy. The more you take, the better
chance you have of getting a good one.

Once you are home, move your images from the camera onto your computer and place them in a folder labeled so you will know what is in the folder - eg. Cozumel June 2009. Then make a backup CD by burning your images to a disk. You can then remove the images from your memory card and you are ready for your next trip.
