Our third assignment was to log in to Pinterest, find photos to do with our theme and pin the ones we found interesting. As our blog focuses on traveling we decided to pin pictures from our favorite destinations: unforgettable places we have visited or maybe dream to visit one day.
Our board consists of pictures from a variety of countries such as Ireland, Philippines, Japan & Australia. The board downright shouts vacation!
All the pinned photos are colorful and picturesque and they were shot outdoors. Other common qualities are nature and landscape. An element that appears in notably many of our boards pictures is water. We also thought that the pictures could’ve all been taken by a pro.
Even though the photos have lots in common, they too differ in many ways: color, country, view angle, time of year, environment and the list goes on… There are pictures of peaceful places with no sign of people but pictures of crowded cities as well.
The origin of the pictures? Someone travels to a place and takes a picture to capture the moment. These travel destinations were in that moment emblematic to the photographer, in such scale that they now want to share them with others – we have to note though that a user sharing has not necessarily taken the picture. The aim is to more or less commercialize the place and adduce why this specific attraction should be visited.
Some of the photos were probably taken by a private person and few by a company, but the minute they were uploaded online (for different purposes: personal profiles or travel sites etc.), they possibly started to spread like wildfire. The pictures could’ve first been used for advertising and now they're just circulating, cause people find them pretty. This might have led to a situation where a person sharing a picture does not know the origin of it.

This was what the European trotters came up with this time!
