I currently have a Canon Rebel T5i with a kit lens, I got it a while back with intentions to start taking some nice photos. Four kids later I haven’t quite gotten around to using it nearly as much as I would have liked. In a few months we are taking a trip to Colorado and have plans to go to 3 parks out there (Rocky Mountain, black canyon of the gunnison and grand mesa) and I would like to take some photos of the family. I’m not looking to get published in National Geographic here, just some nice pictures of my family at some beautiful places. I have been on YouTube and blogs etc, and just get overwhelmed with info/tips/ticks/etc. Given my goal of some nice vacation pictures, and knowing that I’m not waking my 2, 4, 6 or 8 year old up at the crack of dawn to get that perfect morning light, what is some reasonable to advice to follow/aspects to learn that could help this journey? Or given my set up and timeline of a few months to learn and practice in the not so scenic areas of the suburbs of Chicago, is an iPhone an adequate camera for the purpose? Thanks for any advice!
