hello wanted to ask you how do you get along with your family when traveling in vacation and tring to get many photos for stock? because i really hit a wall here and my wife is quite anoyed by me taking photos of important objectives in morning light then sunset light and also various angles. so...how do you get along?

When photo income is paying for a vacation/trip, then my wife knows there is "business" to be done. But it certainly works better if I include destinations she might enjoy and stops of her interest. Otherwise, she also knows to bring some self entertainment, books, and magazines, to enjoy while I go off to enjoy a shoot. I try to balance fun and work. Are your family willing models? Can the photo budget sustain interesting places where the family is a participant? You may need to review with your accountant what can be claimed in your country as a business expense and what must be a personal expense.

Buy your wife a camera.

I travel a ton and I'm lucky my girlfriend is also into photography. I could see someone getting pretty annoyed is they were always having to wait around for a photographer while on vacation.

I don't worry about taking photos for stock, unless I set aside a dedicated time to do so.  Like when scuba diving last year, I set aside a few hours to shoot with a model.  Otherwise, I snap what I can if I see something interesting.  Vacation is for vacationing.

there you go, the guru has said it.
i too feel it is bad idea to go on vacation with family or alone with the thought of shooting stock
photos.
why??? because with the trend these days, the returns are not showing up at all.
also, travel photos are already as saturated as the trillions of yuri, sjlocke, ...clones and copycats.

not unless you went to some place no one else has ventured..
like the antartica..
then again, if i am not mistaken , there is a very famous istock man who already captured that
niche a long time ago.

just go and enjoy yourself. or else , you will have wasted alot of money
for nothing..
yes, i dare say, nothing...

I agree with ForrestBrown.  I got my girlfriend a camera and into stock as well.  But you have to be careful - now I am often the one waiting around for her to finish.

If I'm on holiday I would be taking photos any way as its a hobby for me rather than a full time job but do keep on the look out for more stock oriented pictures. I don't expect ���s but a few sales are a bonus. I tend to reserve full on shooting for local days out...feel when you know somewhere you can get something more interesting/stocky than exotic locations that are all ready well covered.

It's funny how some day you begin to choose new clothes for yourself without any inscriptions...

And tax-deductible! 
Nice videos.

the wife idea is a good one, but it depends on how your wife sees it.

consider a mother of a few children , i would not want to go on vacation with my kids
only to have to shoot stock photos for my husband.
esp if there is no certainty of earnings from these .

if you're already a successful stock photographer, it might be different.
then again, i too , still would not expect my wife to go on vacation to shoot for me.
since i am already having travel as a deductible expense,
i would go on a separate "vacation" to shoot

and leave my wife and children to enjoy the vacation when i am there to do just that..
enjoy quality time with my family.

i say this, because , to a man, it might be "sensible" to give your mate a camera and say
go take some stock photos...
but to a mother and a woman, "sensibility" has nothing to do with your "mission"..
esp when it is to take photos that might sell squat.

The wife is the least of the problems with travelling. Nowadays you never know what hits you, you might run into bullets, axes, machetes, trucks, explosives, suicide bombers
