A beautiful place but with poor photos

Hi youless! Some people have the eye for photography and others don't. I guess, I do lack the eye or the skill for taking photos but I make sure that I take several shots each scenery or pose so I can always be sure that there will be one that will come out beautiful. haha..Thanks to the technology of digicam wherein I can take more than a hundred shot. haha.. Take care and God Bless!

Yea I always think that if something is beautiful, the photos come out should be really nice. However, I guess some people just don't have that "talent" and even with a beautiful place, the photos don't look very nice!

To that I say take as many photos as you possibly can snap even if it seems like an insane amount of photos... why? A lot of them are going to be bad and you are going to throw them away but you will also get some good ones (even by accident). I take pictures of everything and the stuff that I really want to get a good photo I will take 5-10 photos of the same thing... say a flower or a sunset. I also get a little more sophisticated and play with F-Stop and White Balance to get some really cool shots. I got one of my wife at the beach and purposefully turned the white balance way up so it looked 'washed out'. I put it as my desktop and she saw it one day and asked where I got that photo and how I did it! When I started getting into the details all I got was a 'forget it'. She didn't want to really know how it was done but it was a great photo anyways. I would post it but she doesn't like to have her photo on the internet. I will try to do the same trick with something else and post it. Thanks Zelo

This happenned to me earlier, we had been to a beautiful island here in Arabians , it was sucha exotic place and natural beauty , My friend had a camera with him he is really a mean minded person instead of taking photos of beautiful location he is interested in his own photos ,as if he had explored the place..when i saw the album it looks as if we had been to a local beach and album is all him him and him..what a jerk..

Have you tried using applications like Photoshop or Picasa to give the 'boring' photos a little more life? It could be quite a few hours of fun. And if you get your son involved, it would be even better. Why? Cos kids see things from a different perspective from adults. With his input, and your creativity, you make breath new life into those photos that you deem boring.

I can't take nice picture too and I don't think old people like your mom's friend can too. For old people I think they enjoy watching photo take by them though its not nicely taken.
