As difficult and as trying as moving home can be, the process is almost always a memorable one. If you are moving into a new home, then it is likely the start of a new era in your life and an experience which will stay with you for a long time. One of the great unanswered questions in relation to this is whether or not you document the move. While you might be able to retain memories of the moving process, some people decide to take photographs and pictures of the event. If you are about to move, is this something you should consider and will taking pictures be right for you? One of the things which makes taking photos of the move so much easier these days is the prevalence of good cameras fitted to mobile phones. As everyone walks around with a digital camera in the pocket (for the most part), then the ease and proximity of decent cameras can mean that the decision is not down to making sure that you have the right equipment needed previously to get good photos of any situation. However, due to the high value and the fragility of the devices in question, it can often be a good idea to take the phone out of your pocket and put it somewhere safe while moving, in order to prevent any sort of damage being done to the device during the move itself. While there are a number of very good cameras available to many people moving home, it might not always be a great idea to expose such expensive devices to such calamitous conditions. Another important consideration is the people who will be featured in your photos. A tough day of removals can often be a strenuous and tiring effort and can lead to a situation where people are not looking at their best. As such, if you have roped in some friends and families in order to help you move home, they might not be best pleased by your attempts to capture them while they are not at their best. If you are going to take photographs of the move, then taking care to make sure that everyone is happy to be involved with the photographing is an important part and will stop people getting annoyed and upset when they see a series of pictures of them looking at their sweat, tired worst. One of the best advantages of modern cameras is that you are able to examine a photo just after you have taken it. Previously, it might have been weeks or months before you got around to getting the photo developed but now you are able to get immediate feedback on the quality and can figure out if you want to take the picture again. This can mean that you can make sure that you get great photos every time and that you can prevent poor pictures which don’t capture the moment perfectly. The main factor which you should consider when thinking of photographing a move is whether there is actually anything that will need to be captured. Due to the large variety in types and scales of moves which might be happening, it could well be that you are only conducting a small scale move which takes a few hours. As such, there could be nothing to photograph. However, if you and your family are conducting a big move into your dream house, you might well feel the need to capture the moment. Essentially, the question of whether or not to break out the camera will come down to whether or not there is anything which is worth taking a picture of, something which will depend on the particulars of the move itself.
