One fun thing to do on your trip is to create a photo scavenger hunt for yourself. Prepare a list ahead of time of things you and your family members can look for to photograph. This can result in some very interesting shots in addition to your typical scenery and building photos. Below are a few ideas, but try to come up with some that are specific to the country you are visiting or a special interest you may have. Choose several from your list or concentrate on just one.
