Do you have the holiday of a lifetime booked for this summer? Perhaps you’re counting down the days- as maybe after years of wanderlust you finally went ahead and booked that bucket list trip that you’ve always dreamed about. If so, you’ll want to make sure you remember every detail when you get home, and capture as many moments as you can. Here are just a few ways you can go about it!
Bring a good quality camera
Almost everyone these days owns a smartphone with a decent camera on it, however, the pictures taken on these devices will never be as good as ‘proper’ cameras. If you’re going on the holiday of a lifetime, you’ll want to take the best pictures you possibly can and so it’s worth investing in the best camera possible. Something like a bridge or DSLR can give you some really professional shots, but with so many shooting options you might want to go on a short course beforehand so you know how to use it properly. Otherwise, even point and shoot cameras these days can give you excellent clear photos and are something that anyone can use. You could still use your smartphone as well, but it’s worth taking out a decent camera at least on a few of the days, especially if you know you’re going somewhere really scenic.
Have some professional photographs taken
Another option for capturing the best pictures you can is to hire a professional. This is a good choice as it enables you to get pictures of all of your party together, rather than one of you always having to be behind the camera. Do some research before you go. For example if you’re heading to Santorini, you could search for a professional photographer in Santorini and see who is available for the dates you’ll be there. In some locations there will be professional photographers already out and about that you could utilise if you see them. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment when you’re away, but once you return home your pictures are so important as they help you to remember everything. So it really is worth booking something like this.
Create a scrapbook
All of those ticket stubs, receipts, luggage tags and more can all be kept and added to a travel scrapbook when you get home. Add some pictures and some cute embellishments and you have something really interesting you can look back on for years to come. Keep hold of any interesting bits of paperwork and other items you accumulate while you’re away, and purchase a scrapbook once you’re home. It’s the perfect way to remember your holiday!
If this is a really special trip, maybe even the holiday of a lifetime then you might never return to this place. So it makes sense to soak up every moment, and capture all of the details you can so you can remember it as clearly as possible.
