Do something different...

posted by mathayward, Aug 15, 2006 12:26 PM — 2 comments

Whether I'm on holiday, visiting family in a different part of the country, or just visiting a local landmark, I find the best pictures I take are of subjects I won't see very often.

I took this photo while in Norfolk on holiday. I had to get up at 4:30 in the morning to catch it, it was freezing, but it was totally worth it.

A hot air balloon isn't something you see everyday, especially one about to take off. Snap it!

My advice: Go somewhere new, do something different, TAKE YOUR CAMERA.

Wow those are some really great shots. And I think that you are right. You do get better shots when you are somewhere new :)

"Go somewhere new, do something different":

I agree completely. Try to make different shots.

Hi, I'm setting up a new website for linking up families/carers of people with disabilities and want to use your photo: Family tickling each other on one of the pages (It would be the photo that accompanies the "Families Journeys" page. Would you permit that?
Many thanks!
