These are two of the most popular poses that I have seen from my relatives' facebook albums:

The Mid Air jump


and the drinking shot

So you want a photo of yourself in front of the Eiffel Tower, but you're not sure how to pose. Smile and snap? Jump up and do the mid-air thing? A casual lean? Whatever you do, don't do these, the four most annoying tourist photo poses of all time.

The Peace Sign:

Most commonly seen among packs of Asian tourists, the Peace Sign has managed to spread worldwide, infecting even suburban American teenagers posing for souvenir theme park photos.

It is believed that it originated from the desire to "do something with your arms" in a photo, and not look so awkward. Unfortunately, unless you're a cute and young girl, it usually ends up pretty awkward.

So not unless you are very young or "cute", better just wave your hand rather than make the peace sign.

So my son's double peace sign is "pardonable", he he.(he's cute).

The Perspective Pose:

The most famous example of the Perspective pose is "leaning" up against the Leaning Tower of Pisa. However, simple distance and careful body positioning can lead to many things, such as having a fountain pour into your mouth or holding a building in the palm of your hand. Time spent arranging the shot usually holds up pedestrian traffic and makes you look idiotic.

In this photo, I totally missed the spot,ha ha!

The Statue Interaction:


Putting your arm around a scuplture or even some do so with religious statues is a no no.In reality, it's still an inanimate object and you're probably getting very dirty with all the dust and dirt that statue has gathered from the atmosphere.

Here I look like I am also gossiping:)

The Vulgar Pose:

Men and teenagers always hunting for opportunities to make stupid-funny photos to post to Facebook. A popular example of a vulgar shot is standing in front of a fountain so it appears as though you're urinating.

And here is another foolish one,



While fun, all evoke the question, "seriously?"

and another example(never ,never try!)


And what is a good tourist photo?

I want to show you one photo that we took of my son in Krabi, it shows one of the better touristy photos we took.

The nice thing about this photo is that it reminded me of the wonderful day we went on a boat trip and this was taken just after we got off the boat.While my eldest son Nygel was vomitting because of seasickness, my other son Niles just gave us this nice smile saying"At last we are back on land".

So now, lets take real good pictures.
