On my recent holiday, I was the only one who had an interest in photography. I would imagine it would be a very different holiday if all members who photographers! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15391766657647243270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865397607687276219.post-67769835035847107172010-04-25T15:39:37.631+10:002010-04-25T15:39:37.631+10:00It depends.

Sans children, I have serious enjoyment shooting all day whilst on hols.<br /><br />Btw, this image is absolutely superbly perfect.

I think that's the way to have a successful family/friends holiday. Maybe there's a time and a place for serious or project based photography and on a family holiday isn't the time or place... :)<br />@PoTH - Yes, my family get a little tired and have little patience when I say one more Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15391766657647243270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865397607687276219.post-29852753484108317572010-04-19T10:39:21.229+10:002010-04-19T10:39:21.229+10:00I have this problem, and I agree too with sara, it...I have this problem, and I agree too with sara, its one reason I've taken so few fotos lately. It has to be a holiday for us all and The Dutchman and The Flipster get sick of hanging around while I get anal about 'perfect shots'. <br /><br />I try and assume there will be no fotos (other than snaps) while we're on holidays as a family.

I didn't want to miss out on the family experiences/memories just because I was surrounded by beautiful scenery that I felt compelled to photograph. I was curious to know how other photographers felt when they spend holidays with their family - do they hang their camera up for that time and just enjoy their family time?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15391766657647243270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865397607687276219.post-2826873910078827672010-04-19T09:20:46.278+10:002010-04-19T09:20:46.278+10:00Sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy the suns...Sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy the sunset - as it's meant to be - with people you love by your side and without a camera in front of your face.Sara Lamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576042011030948329noreply@blogger.com
