1. 11 Annoying Tourist Photo Poses
Some Future Tips for Taking Photos!
Avoid clicking photos straight from the front because
this tends to highlight the bulging hips or shoulders (if
any). Use angles instead.
Avoid shooting from a low angle or a direct "up the nose"
shot because this can accentuate certain features like a
belly or double chin.
We all love to travel to new places and make our trip
memorable. Now, clicking photos at certain famous
places or just about anywhere is a way of preserving
those memories forever. When it comes to clicking
pictures, striking the right pose becomes a big issue.
Some people manage to pose in certain new, innovative
poses, but some people want to recreate certain popular
poses or replicate the one visible in the background.
There are many such poses that have been all too
common that render the photos unimaginative and
boring. We, at Buzzle, have collated a list of poses which
people seem to be madly in love with.
Before we begin, we would like to mention that this article is just for fun, and not meant to offend
anyone! We know the importance of the traditional poses and are not against it. Our only point is
that some of them can just get plain annoying.
Tourist Poses You Should Avoid On Vacation
'V' Sign
When you are not sure how to pose, do this! Flashing a 'V' for peace or victory sign is most common
among Asian tourists, but has done its magic on others too. Seriously, every single person has at
least one photo with such a pose. Flashing a 'V' sign will never get world peace, but it surely might
provoke someone to slap you! Some people have the audacity to flash two peace signs, as if one
wasn't enough.
Pinching Famous Monuments
I get it that you have visited Eiffel tower and seen all those pyramids. But, who said that posing like
this will turn you into some huge beast who can squeeze big monuments or touch the top of it? It's
time to stop posing such clichéd poses. Come on, you can do better!
Holding Huge Monuments
2. This photo of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the most common one. Oh My God, you almost turned into
a huge, mighty beast to push that big thing away! Also, you must have the ultimate power to hold the
Statue of Liberty in your hand. A standing ovation for all who did this because you thought you are
so smart, and people will never know how you did it.
Jumping
Yay! You're on a vacation and visiting a new place! If this is the way you express your joy, you better
run; because at any moment, someone might come and take you back to where you came from, the
madhouse!
I never knew these people might be a excellent deal fun until I tried one pertaining to myself.
Precisely what would you think?
Kissing the Monuments
I pity the Sphinx and all others like her to have gotten a kiss from just about every other visitor.
Imagine the helplessness they must be feeling, because there is absolutely nothing they can do
about it. I think there would have been some point in kissing, if it turned into Prince Charming!
Stupidly Posing with Statues
Those are great pieces of art, so I beg, don't just spoil the frame! Couldn't you just leave it as it is
and move on with your trip. In these photos, the statue couple would want to run away rather than
sit with you, or the angel would have made this expression after looking at you!
Replicating Statues
We don't get what fun people derive by doing this. People hardly get close to the perfection with
which the statue is made. These photos make for funny photos rather than memorable ones.
Hot Legs on the Beach
Okay, so you're having a great time on the beach, and you're happy about the new bikini. A full
scene or panorama of the beach would have been a better way to show off the destination, and a full
photo of yours would have gotten you compliments about the new bikini. But, with these photos, all I
see is your legs with a beach in the background. I demand to not get distracted by your legs and to
be able to focus on the beautiful water!
Telephone Booth
Oh, so much drama! You want to tell the whole world that you're calling from a booth and you don't
have a cell phone in the 21st century? There is nothing hilarious or memorable about calling or
peeking out of a telephone booth.
Beatles Pose
We are sure that people who drive down the Abbey Road in London would have to wait because
hundreds of tourists would love to pose this way. Please understand that it was good when The
Beatles did it, but it truly isn't when you do it! They (The Beatles) might start hating themselves
after they see this!
3. The Mother of All Poses
It's like, if you have been bitten by the dance bug, go for it. Here's our earnest advice: Save it for the
pub, guys!
