Excellent point. We’ve done that a ton of times!

Frequently, someone will offer to take the picture for us – let them! And, if you’re an extrovert (like me), ask somebody!

If you’re driving then just bring the tripod. Get it out before dinner one night for your group photo and then put it back in the trunk. Your candid photos will tell the rest of the story.

Just a few weeks ago, I was aghast when I started snapping away on my grandson’s last day of school and something did not feel quite right. I finally looked at the message posted before me (did not have my glasses on) letting me know that I had no memory card! Argh! I had left it in my CPU from downloading photos the night before. Lesson learned. Must always make a note to self before heading out to take photos of any event!

Have a weekend getaway planned in August and was mulling over ideas for capturing all of us together. Thought of bringing my tripod, but might just opt for purchasing a selfie stick since we will be doing a lot of walking.

Great tips, as per usual. Thank you very much!

Have a beautiful summer!

I’m so glad you were already thinking along these lines. Thank you for pointing out how important reviewing and testing your equipment is!

My 6 yr old camera’s lens has been glitchy for awhile, getting stuck opening & closing. We’ve always managed to get it working by turning it on & off a few times, but it worries me. Yesterday I took the hint and bought the new camera I have been thinking about buying for months. Don’t want to be in a “once in a lifetime” setting, one we spent $1000’s to get to, and have a camera failure! I also bought a second battery and 2 big storage cards. I always keep a spare fully charged battery and empty card in my camera bag. Thanks for the other tips about getting IN the photos and even putting the camera away!
