How to be a Street Photographer on your Trip

So, you are overwhelmed with the beauty of Far North Queensland and want to make sure you capture as much of it is possible in photograph form to help with future memories etc.

Now at FNQ Apartments we don’t claim to be professional photographers but we have picked up a few streets-cred basics that you might find to be of use.

• Unless you are a serious photographer, get a point-and-click digital camera. Okay, they may not be quite as glamorous as their big SLR counterparts but if you want to take lots of photos and spend less of your time trying to understand how to work the camera, they’re great.
• Where photographs of people are concerned, don’t get them to adopt formal poses. These often look starchy and unreal when you look at them back home. Instead, try and snap to them when they don’t know a photo is going to be taken. Of course, they may moan!
• Get up early for some of the best nature shots. Many beauty spots are at their best very early when there are few people around and the light is ideal. A slight variation on that are the traditional sunset-type photos and they can be great too.
• Take shots of those things that others don’t. Sometimes a photograph of a bar on the esplanade or the entrance to your Cairns luxury accommodation can bring back more memories than those specially-posed groups standing alongside the pool etc. Oh yes, remember that if other people are going to be included in your photograph just because they’re ‘there’ - ask their permission. Some people can be upset about being photographed without their consent.
• Finally, remember to somehow annotate your snaps. How many of us have looked at photographs a few months or years later saying “now where on earth was that?”
