The Burj Khalifa is not the same through the camera lens as it is through your own eyes. Do I need to mention when it looks better? As important as it is to have beautiful pictures and capture the moment, it is equally important to enjoy it, relax and forget about the obsessive need to click with the camera.
Taking photos is fun, but the need to capture absolutely every moment cameroon whatsapp list detail is far from fun and borders on the nervous need to record everything while actually seeing very little of it. At least not with your own eyes.
You need to share the recording immediately
The worst problem with modern technology is the need to share everything with the rest of the world immediately. Social networks, email, WhatsApp, Viber... how is it possible to record something super interesting and not send it to everyone we know (and don't know)?
The problem is even worse when we use our phone's camera, because in that case the whole world is in the palm of our hands and just one tap away from being able to share everything with our followers on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and all the other social networks to which we show a slight addiction.
And what happens after we share the pictures? We have the need to check for likes, reactions, messages and respond to them. Not exactly a relaxing activity that has a positive effect on our vacation. After all, do we have more fun if we get 30 likes and 2 messages?
You can't rest properly.
When you're a content creator, the worst thing is that your brain is always working, even on vacation. In fact, your brain works especially well on vacation, so you can't leave the hotel without the wheels turning and you're frantically thinking about the shots and texts that will accompany the captured images.
I noticed this problem with myself when I travel. I realized that I was writing travel stories in my mind. That I was taking special shots for the blog, and special ones for Instagram. That my mind was racing with what I was going to post next and what I was going to write. I realized that it was tiring me.
Have I gotten rid of that feeling? No. I don't think it's impossible to get rid of it as long as there's a need to create content, but the fact is that this obsession negatively affects rest and relaxation.
You might offend someone.
People often take photos automatically and without thinking that there might be someone in the frame who doesn't want to be photographed and will forever be recorded in someone else's vacation collection. Every country has its own (written and unwritten) rules that should be followed, if not out of politeness, then because breaking those rules can get us into trouble.
Taking photos of people without permission is not only never desirable, but in some countries is considered particularly offensive and prohibited. The same goes for taking photos of local businesses, many of which do not want to be in the frame, and some landmarks and attractions charge extra for permission to take photos.
It's hard to carry a camera
A mobile phone is a small gadget that is not that problematic to carry in your hand or take out of your bag when needed. The situation changes when we carry a real professional camera. Real cameras are not light. They are often very expensive, which further complicates the whole situation and puts additional pressure on the person who has to worry and not take his eyes off the camera so as not to be left without it.
When I travel, I often see tourists carrying a bag full of photography equipment, and it's obvious at first glance that they're not professional photographers who make a living from their work. These same tourists are frantically searching for shots and tripping over camera stands that they're toting around the city.
Why is it a bad idea to take pictures of everything you can get your hands on?
