Taking great vacation photos isn\u2019t always a walk in the park.<\/p>\n

You have to navigate hundreds \u2014 if not thousands \u2014 of tourists all vying for the same shot, with the blinding glare of the midday sun making it nearly impossible to do anything but squint in the camera\u2019s direction, and if you\u2019re attempting to snap the picture on your own, your photo will likely come out overexposed and oddly-angled, because it was the only way to get everyone\u2019s phone\/selfie stick\/head out of the frame.<\/p>\n

Skip the hassle, skip the crowds, and skip the poor lighting.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re braving the challenge on your own, or you hire a vacation photographer to capture your memories for you, here are the best times of day to take vacation photos, wherever your travels lead you.<\/p>\n

\"Couple<\/p>\n

Flytographer: Marta in Venice <\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flytographer: Melanie in Bermuda <\/a><\/p>\n

\"Couple<\/p>\n

Flytographer: Roberta in Rome<\/a><\/p>\n

Take advantage of off-peak hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Picture it \u2014 the quiet majesty of the Pantheon, or the crowd-less, cobbled streets of Santorini.<\/p>\n

These aren\u2019t exactly things you\u2019ll get to photograph on a midsummer\u2019s afternoon.<\/p>\n

When it comes to travel photos, the early bird most certainly gets the worm.<\/p>\n

Hit the streets before 9 am to snap stunning, crowd-free photos of iconic landmarks and scenery to beat the rush that will inevitably come as the sun continues to rise in the sky.<\/p>\n

Sure, setting an alarm on vacation may be tough to fathom at first, but you\u2019ll reap the benefits of an early start when you\u2019re revelling in your travel memories with flawless photos for years to come.<\/p>\n

\"Couple<\/p>\n

Flytographer: Kimon in Santorini <\/a><\/p>\n

Bask the warmth of the early morning sun<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recognized by expert photographers around the world as the \u201cgolden hour\u201d for outdoor photos, a morning shoot closely following the rising of the sun is a great way to guarantee richness and warmth for your vacation photos that you can\u2019t get in the harsh afternoon light.<\/p>\n

Save your vacation memories the tragedy of washing out in the sun with a natural, golden filter that will serve only to heighten the beauty of what surrounds you.<\/p>\n

For photos straight out of Cond\u00e9 Nast (or Passport Magazine), beat the sun before its peak for perfectly captured bursts of colour as the light pours gently over the landscape.<\/p>\n

We promise you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n

\"Family<\/p>\n

Flytographer: Marie in Maui <\/a><\/p>\n

Capture an evening glow just before sunset<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, so not everyone can be a morning person, and we can\u2019t say we blame you if you\u2019re looking for an alarm-free vacation.<\/p>\n

Who couldn\u2019t use a few extra winks, anyway?<\/p>\n

For the ultimate #nofilter moment, take advantage of the other golden hour of photography for a soft glow that no Instagram filter can replicate.<\/p>\n

Use the hour before sunset to take the warmth of the golden hours a step further with added dimension as the low-hanging sun casts long shadows across the landscape for just a touch of drama.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t guarantee you\u2019ll beat the all the crowds, but this can be perfect for off-the-beaten-path vacation photo shoots in reduced traffic areas.<\/p>\n

\"Couple<\/p>\n

Flytographer: Bayu and Ivony in Bali <\/a><\/p>\n

\"Woman<\/p>\n

Flytographer: Silvia in Amsterdam <\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t shy away from a few drops of rain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of cursing the cloudy skies, take a rainy day as a gift from Mother Nature herself<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For exceptional portraits, use the coolness of overcast to keep the sun diffused and the shadows off your face at just about any time of day, or take advantage of the reflective nature of shallow puddles and damp streets to bring your photos to new, creative heights.<\/p>\n

And hey, if you\u2019re brave enough to step out into the rain, you may just get rewarded with a rainbow for your troubles.<\/p>\n

Keeping to the golden hours of photography is a sure-fire way to guarantee yourself gorgeous outdoor photos year round, and our Flytographers will be there every step of the way to capture your vacation memories for the ultimate travel souvenir.<\/p>\n

Ready to hit the streets?<\/p>\n
