Whenever I'm visiting a new place I usually take videos for my Instagram stories. The "optimization" I made a few years back is I would just open my native camera and take a video rather than messing with IG and then post to the platform later whenever I was at the airport or hotel. These are all 5-10 second videos that usually just pan across whatever i'm exploring, quick and the phone goes back in my pocket to continue experiencing whatever it is that I'm experiencing.
Since then I've made another "optimization" known as "meeting my s.o". She loves taking photos of places, food, us, etc and I just let her do all the photo taking (or at least command the process, she will often ask me to take a photo as well). She loves taking the photos and I love it because it takes off any pressure from me taking photos (or at least figuring out what to take, I still get asked at least a dozen times on a trip to whip out my phone and take a picture). Still I consider this a great improvement because I can just go in and enjoy a place without always having to think "what would be a good photo/video"
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoA s.o. loving to take photos can be a source of tension. I travel most of the year and take lots of photos. Sometimes for my own personal memories, sometimes for travel-blogging purposes. For the latter, I wanted my photos to be informative about the destination, and they shouldn’t really have been about me specifically. My s.o. for a period, on the other hand, was clearly taking photos for vanity and social-media prestige-winning reasons: nearly every shot had to have the s.o. in a glamorous pose in a glamorous setting, and I could get blamed for any result turning out less than glamorous.
