Athens + Istanbul Photo Checklist

7.2.16

via
As many of you know, I have a love of travel, and will be visiting a new country: Greece;  more specifically, Athens. Later on in the trip, I will also be visiting Istanbul, Turkey, but as this is not a new place for me I may not be spending as much time putting together lists of what I wish to see there.

Nevertheless, I am excited to travel to both places and have decided to put together a small photo checklist of moments I would like to capture with photographs while I enjoy my time there. In my past visits to different places, I have simply walked by gorgeous sights and have not spent time soaking up the culture of these far-off lands. However, I will now be on the lookout for sights rather than just blindly passing by. Hopefully, I will check off everything and will share the photos with all of you at the end of my trip. 

Here are 20 things I'll be on the lookout for: 

+ First glimpse

+ Something I don't see at home

+ Down the street

+ A beautiful sunset/sunrise

+ Dialouge

+ Something blue

+ (Temporary) home sweet home

+ Local fauna

+ Written

+ Delicious cuisine

+ Beautiful flooring

+ Currency

+ Lost

+ To the market we go

+ Like a local

+ Laughter

+ Looking up/looking down

+ Literature

+ Memento

+ Scenery 

+ Saying goodbye

What would you add to this list?

  3. You're such a lucky duck to be visiting Greece! I do have a suggestion-- instead of snapping a photo of just something blue, why not do seven different colors of the rainbow? Indigo may be the hardest to capture, but I have faith that you'll be able to find something. <3

    xoxo Morning

  7. This sounds so fun! When I was in high school I had a teacher tell me to plan out the shots I wanted to take whenever I was taking pictures, which I really didn't like doing. But now, I always find it so much more valuable and I come out with better shots when I've planned before.

    Hope all these work out for you! Can't wait to see them:)
