Take the picture of sceneries or your family members during travel

Hi! I think taking photos of any animal will not be easy, first you must have a good patience to wait for a good moment to take the photos, 2nd, you have to be preserver to keep doing the same thing in order to get a good photos of the animal. and 3rd, you have to have a good camera where you can snap it fast enough to get the action of the animal you want. So, I really salute those people who can take a good photos of animals.

Oh, for really good photos of animals I think you need to be an expert! I only take amateur photos, I never thought about doing this otherwise than a hobby. The conditions you listed are, indeed, indispensable but I'd add another condition: you need to have the "feeling" to capture THAT moment. Because if you're late for only a second, you can say goodbye to the photo you dreamed about. Here is an example of loosing "the moment":

Hi! Sorry for late reply. I think what to take with your camera is more on your own preference, some people like to take scenery and some people will like to take the picture of their family member, for me, I will take more on the picture of scenery if the place is really nice.

Yeah, it is really fun to take the photos that are rarely seen, and most of the time, the natural sceneries are always beautiful. When I taking the photos all the things that other do not take, my friends and family member always question me on that. But, I just like to took those beautiful sceneries rather than taking family member's photos unless on certain family occasion like birthday or some celebration.

Some people will think that to take some special moment with family member in the photos is more important. For me, it depend on what kind of situation or occasion it is. If I travel with family member, I will take at least one photos of family member at the location and other I will take as much as possible of the sceneries that I can see. At least when I want to recall back the place I have visited, I just need to look at all the photos, and I can see again the sceneries of a certain location from all kind of view from the photos I had taken. That is why I like to take more photos on the sceneries. No doubt postcard can show you the scenery but it does not show you the complete places that you would like to see and recall when compared to self taken photos.

Yeah, when I go to some new places, I will take a lot of sceneries but just a few of family photos. But at home, I will take a lot of my children's photos to keep as a sweet memory, because children growth really fast.
