What kind of photo's do you take when you're on a trek? I mean do you take pictures of animals or just the scenery, lots of family picture or just random shots? I love the family shots with beautiful scenery in the back.

I am sure most people have that kind of photos where the family is standing in front of a beautiful scenery but I also like to take pictures of animals and birds a lot...I expecially like to look at the life they lead...through my pics.

The last time I had my camera when we went around a local pond, there were a bunch of baby geese and the protective adult geese. I got some video of a goose letting someone know he was too close to the babies.

There are also some swans that live there, so there are plenty of subjects for pictures.

I like pictures of nature. Everything seems different and interesting close up or in a different light. When I stop to smell the roses as you say, it seems to transport me to a relaxed and peaceful place.

I do take family pictures, but I also love to take photos of plants and wildlife as well as general landscape shots.

We do a lot of that "hold your partner close and stretch the camera waaaaay out and try to get the both of you and the background in the shot" poses. Sometimes, though, we we've found a really great shot, I'll use the cameras timer function.

I like to take picture of almost anything. I took pictures of a newly formed spider web, the formation of the rocks, and even the clouds.

I just clicked the button on my camera for whatever my eyes could catch.

I will take a photo of anything that seems interesting or needs to be remembered, of course photos of everyone on the trip is nice too. And there are always those random parties that we sometimes have, those snap shots are for blackmail only though.

I always look for a good background and that shot with my friends or family. I don't take everything I see while trekking because I'm always careful when I walk. I'm quite afraid of snakes falling down from trees or coming at the sides of the trail.

It all depends with whom I'm traveling, for example, If I'm with friends/family I will take pictures of us, but If I'm alone than just scenery.
