Do You Take Photos When You Go To New Places

There are many beautiful and exortic places in countries around the world. I do get the chance, once in a while, to visit some of those places. I was in Salzburg, Austria, once. Oh, that was an awesome place, beautiful and so scenic ! I did not miss the opportunity to take photos of those scenic places. I have a collection of those photos now. Do you take photos when you visit new places , places you had not been to before ?

oh i love to take photos if i am going somewhere new or going to do something exciting. i always take my camera when i am going to hang out with my friends and i do that a lot. just because you never know what your gonna be doing and you might want to take pictures. i always take it when i go out of town or to a theme park, maybe a weeding or anything of that sort. [jamesgrub]

I love to take many photos of places i have travelled to. I have been to alot of different countries around the world. I have only just realised lately, how beautiful my own country actually is. I have started to take my camera with me a lot when I go out, to take photographs of the things I see here. I live in Northern Ireland near the Antrim coast and it is beautiful. Have you ever been here? My husband has visited Austria and he too says it was breathtaking. I have included a photograph of the antim coast for you to see. [hildas]
Thanks for the picture, Grampa Bob. A well taken photograph of the old shed. I like to take my camera everwhere with me these days. I tried to leave a comment on your old shed photograph but I cannnot as I am not a friend it says. I will invite you ok. Hope you do not mind. [hildas]



Yes, I do. I usually take pictures of the places that I visit because you don't know when you will be coming back. I attach a picture in this discussion when I visit Baguio City here in the Philippines. It is the first time that I visit the place and my husband and I took a lot of pictures. That was a year ago. Baguio city is the coldest place in the Philippines because it is a city on top of a mountain. happy [bianroxas]

Yes, i do take pictures of places i have never been before. I do keep them too, as a collection, so i can take a look at them once in a while. Austria, is one country i am fascinated with, though i have only seen pictures of it. Nice to see you again. [sweetie1026]


i love taking pictures especially when visiting new places.they serve as souveniers.taking pictures of places also captures memories and experiences that we had in the place.The last place we had a vacation at was in Palawan and we had tons of pictures there.The experience was really memorable. [JOIEMARVIC]

Yup, I love taking photos of scenery, historical structures and anything that is unique to the places that I'm visiting. These will form part of my memories, as I most likely won't be traveling to these places again. [lazeebee]

I won't even go without my digicam. Its a must for me and the first thing that I have to take note of when going to other places. [cdparazo]

There have been three great trips I have taken and I didn't take a camera. I have all the great things I saw in my head. I went to New Orleans , before Katrina, L.A. and San Francisco, and Montreal and I still remember all the beautiful things I saw. What I do have is postcards. I prefer them. [sarahruthbeth22]

yes! it's a must.. i always make sure to bring my camera with me whenever hubby and some close friends invite me to go out and visit interesting places... you know, we have to make every trip or every activity memorable by getting souvenirs and taking photos.. i have plans of getting myself an 8 MP samsung mobile phone camera so i won't need to bring my mom's digital camera with me.. [gracie04]

Yes, I'd definitely take pictures. I wouldn't want to leave a place without taking something as a sort of remembrance, and pictures are perfect for that! [SeishiroX]

You are very wise to do so. One should always take photos of places one visits especially if its the first time. [JUNGLE]

Definitely, photos are the best remembrance you can get of a place you've been to. When your memory fails you, you can just look at the photos you took and reminisce about the good times spent on certain place. And besides, the world is very beautiful and full of interesting sights. I could never resist that, so I take my camera along with me everywhere I go. [theredquill]

i also take picture when i travel to different places.but for fdew last trips we did not. those are the places we already visited and took pictures. [subha12]

Hi greenline! I believe most of us would say yes. We can save the best scenic by taking photos. Why not? :-) [sarazeng]

I love to...I am fond of taking pictures anywhere I go coz I do want to have a souvenir. [bestie]

Of course I will take a lot of photos. Those photo help me to remember those beautiful places. After the trip I will look over all of those photos and then filter some good to save. Otherwise too many photos will take large memery in my pc. [bily822]

ohh i love taking my camera whenever and wherever i go... taking pictures specially to new places are fun... [Nhey16]

Hi greenline, I use to take photos whenever i go to new places. I love taking scenic, natural photographs. I have those collections and i love seeing those photos and think about those places where i spent my beautiful time. [forcashksd]

Of course I do. But only if I have a camera with me. I love to take photos even of there are many that usually don't turn out that great. :/ (like a shaking hand making weird ugly photos,etc.) I would actually love to buy a new camera so that I can make better photos but they seem to be so expensive that I can't afford one right now. Perhaps in the future. :) [Takashy]

Definitely! I always bring my handy cam along, fully charged, with some extra batts. I love taking photos of anything, much more the places i've been to. [Mizzmo]

Yes, I do. It is my habit to take photos when I come to a new place, especially for the beautiful scenic. And I always just take photos of scenic, but not for people. I didn't go to many place once, but when I came to a new place, I took a lot of photos. Now I also have a collection of these photos, and I also like to review them, they always give me a happy time. [qiongzheng0523]

Yes,i like take photos when i was travelling,and i always take pictures as much as can because i want to remember these travelling place for ever and ever.For example,i had a trip to FRANCE two month ago,i took nearly 400 photos,it's a realy beautiful country especailly Paris,i love that place... [Carolxu]

Yes of course! Although I've been almost all around the world, I'd never been to North Wales. Went there recently with my wife and niece from Vietnam and we all loved it. What a beautiful place. We took more than 400 photos on a week..haha! The good thing is, I can now put them all on disc, with a slideshow and add music and it's great! Brings it all to life with music playing. [viet129]

Hi my friend Green Line. In my lounge I have a whole shelf in my glass display case of my travel photos in albums for each different trip. In the days of a camera needing film I used to buy 12 or so at a time because I took lots of photos. On my trip around the world I got photos developed in the USA, Australia and Malaysia. I sent the negatives home and kept the photos. I had hundreds of them and Photography wildlife I could get 4 good pictures out of 36 shots. I was so pleased when I got a digital camera and I like being able to view my photos straight away and delete the ones that are not good enough. When I photograph wildlife I can delete any that are awful and try again until I get a superb shot. I love to take photos of spectacular views. Sometimes I get photos of the local people like a lady carrying a basket on her head and the Masai Mara dancers. I have been to Salzburg many times because it is so beautiful and one time was in the snow so that was extra special. I adore Cesky Kromlov in the Czech Republic, Prague, Budapest, Dubrovnik and Lisbon. I have my best travel photos enlarged and put in frames in my hall and bedrooms in my home. [maximax8]

Yes, I would like to take photos when I go to a place where I seldom been to or never been to. I also like to take photos when I get together with some friend whom I haven't met for a long time, or whom I may never see again. taking photos, photos don't lie, it approves what we used to do before. [iamfine]

of cause i would take some photos when i go to a new place,a nice place will make you feel happy!you will have a good time in the place ,we need something and make the happy hour leave our memory! maybe 20years later,we still remember this,that's very nice! [alexsu88]

Hi there greenline! I love traveling! It's one of those things that I truly enjoy. Each time I travel, I take as many photos possible. But of course, my favorite is the sunset. Well, I also take photos of interesting subjects. I take photos of interesting places or spots. I have several albums at home where I keep all these pictures. Others have already been framed. [dolce_vita78]

I love to take pictures of the places that I go visit. It is a good way to keep those traveling experiences and memories alive, I find. It's fun, at times, to look back at them. [dodo19]

I do take photo when I go to new places. I like to take photo. By taking photo I can keep the memory about new places. Maybe I won't have chance to go at that place in the future. Through photo I can share it with others like my friends and family. When I want to see it again, I just have to open my photo album. [ravinder18]

I love taking pictures. I take pictures when I go somewhere. I love beach pictures. Whenever I go somewhere I've never been, I take pictures to remember later. [SuzyQ12]

Always. I never leave home without my camera. I just never know when I might come across a beautiful scene on my travels. :-) [elemental69]

I always take snaps when go to new places just to memorize them in the pics. It is a good Hobby too to take photographs for scenaries and great resorts. You can earn money even to sale your great creations from photography. People around the world are very much different so always capture them through your great photography skills. [cashready]

Don't you have one to add to this discussion? I take photos all the time wherever I go. This is a shot of a Nature Center I visit a lot for walking etc. This is a shot of some of the beautiful colors of the leaves etc last month. I am my fathers caregiver so I have not been anywhere really for 5 years. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~ [webeishere]
Hi There happy What a lovely pic grandpa bob ! I always have my cam with me . The fall is such a lovely time for pics . Ah, winter is coming soon too hehe . Love snow pics as well . Happy posting ! [metschica25]


Hello happy What a lovely picture, thanks for sharing . My cam goes where ever i go . You just never know what your eyes just may see! I take so many pics when I am on a trip that i usually will go thru a whole Memory Card . My last trip was to new york city and WV . WV the nature was so lovely there and we went on a train ride and i got so many pretty pics . I dont wanna miss a thing and dont wanna forget so i always snap so many pics . [metschica25]

Of course! I love taking pictures! There was a time that I forgot my camera when I went to Korea and I almost kick myself after realizing it. I used my cell's camera and the pics were so small. lol Never again will i forget my camera! [gicolet]

i always keep my camera with me. i like to take the photos of every place that i have visited.it feels good to look back later and feel the enjoyment i got that day. [legend4u]

Absolutely. Our most recent trip was to Rarotonga (Cook Islands) for my sister in laws wedding and we took lots of pictures and videos. Even when we go to our sons activities or fairs and festivals, I take pictures of us all the time and then blog about them. [maddysmommy]

I probably would if for no other reason that to prove I'd been there. I know after I've been on a special trip with family and/or friends, it's fun to get together and relive the experience through our pictures. You're right about Salzburg, Austria being a beautiful place, but all of those countries in that part of the world are beautiful, especially those majestic mountains. [6precious102]

Yes, definitely. I always have my camera handy when travelling to a new place. I make sure to take quality pictures of the scenery alone. I also make sure to take pictures of myself with the scenery in the background. Pictures are very important to me because I can show people where I have been and what I have done. They are a great way of reflecting on the past. [mayhem23]

I enjoy taking photos when I travel .. and I'm glad that I have a new digital camera for me to use during my next trip. I usually just save the files though .. but hopefully, I can get around to choosing my favorites and printing them [natsvelascotan]

I really enjoy travelling, if I have a camera...otherwise, I don't get so much out of it. [Davidarich]
