Do you like taking vacation photos?

The answer to this one really varies from person to person. While some people love being on-camera and can easily get into posing mode, others may remember picture time as the worst part of every family vacation.

Still, picture taking is only really boring when it’s uninteresting, staged and nobody wants to be in the picture. It’s missing the element of fun every vacation needs. Still, the people in this story figured out how to do vacation photos the right way.

Here are 20 of the best vacation pictures we’ve ever seen.

1. Check out the reflection for a hidden message!

2. How was our vacation? Oh, it was great until my entire family got crushed by a sand giant.

3. The general rule here is forced perspective always makes for an interesting vacation photo.

4. This one is great to try with friends—just be prepared for everyone to want to be in the middle.

5. Here’s to having friends who can hold their breath for a long time.

6. Are we sure there’s no kind of photo trickery going on in this one? Pretty cool all the same.

7. Maybe don’t put this one on a Christmas card.

8. This one is actually from the team at Instagram—so you know it’s going to be good.

9. Quick! Take it before the sun sets!

10. Any Dragonball Z fans out there are sure to appreciate the effort in this one.

11. In photos, as in life, timing is everything. Wonder if they managed to throw that magazine to safety?

12. Personally, we would not be this cool with having a sting ray photobombing us like this.

13. When all else fails, just pretend like you broke something!

14. Sometimes you have to get soaked to get the perfect picture.

15. Kissing a llama is also a good strategy for making a memorable vacation photo.

16. Or you could always travel with a superhero and capture their powers on film.

17. Can you make out what this one says?

18. All this forced perspective trickery works especially well when you have a really flat surface like this one.

19. Now this is something we can really get behind. You wouldn’t want to be in front of it, after all.

20. Although these pictures always look simple, we’re guessing this one was pretty tricky to set up so perfectly.

If nothing else, these pictures should give you and your family some inspiration for your next trip!
