Tips for the Best Photos on Your Pocono Mountains Vacation

Going on vacation is one of the best ways to create lifelong memories. From taking advantage of on-site activities to exploring nearby attractions, there’s no shortage of things to do when staying at Woodloch or The Lodge at Woodloch. Never forget the fun you had by capturing your adventures on “film.” To help you take the best photos possible during your Pocono Mountains getaway, we’ve put together a list of helpful tips and tricks.

1. Invest in a Digital Camera

While the camera on your phone can take decent images, there’s nothing quite like the images you get from a proper camera. However, that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank by getting some huge DSLR with multiple lenses. There are several budget-friendly point-and-shoot cameras that can get the job done!

2. Think about How to Frame the Shot

Before taking your picture, think about how you’ve framed the shot. One of the best ways to compose your image is by following the rule of thirds. Pretend there is a three-by-three grid on your photo; you want your subject at one of these intersections. This will help naturally draw your eyes to the subject. 

3. Other Things to Keep in Mind

The best thing about using a digital camera is you have almost unlimited room for photos. Have fun and experiment with your shots! Take photos along our shoreline at sunrise and sunset to see which lighting you like best. Play with the depth of field or shutter speed at a nearby waterfall like the one inside Promised Land State Park or Bushkill Falls.
