When you do decide to take your big camera then you are met with the next obstacle, the light.
Most of the photos we want to take while on vacation are during mid-day when the sun is harsh. In turn, your family has harsh shadows on their face.
Often times you are met with adjusting your setting to deal with the lighting situations that are changing.
Then there's your family. The ones you want to be present for. The ones who also don't want to stop their fun to pose for a photo. You strive to get candid shots that don't look posed.
You want photos that are more than snapshots.
Since our children don't stop moving and who can blame them, they are having fun, it makes it difficult to get sharp photos.
I get it. I've been there.
The pressure of having to choose between participating in the activity or taking pictures of the activity seems to be too much.
It just feels overwhelming.
Vacation should be a time to connect with your family and capturing memories of the location and fun.
