thanks juby for this thread - until now thought it was only me who looked absolutely dreadful in holiday photos :yikes

it doesn't matter how hard i try with my hair, makeup (or lack of it!), and clothes, the photos of me just awful, yet the photos of my hubby are always so good and he always looks nice in them even if he's just got up :que
so now our holiday snaps are just of hubby and scenery

just pleased theres so many folks like me out there, even my passport one is dreadful-look like a ghost!!!

I didn't realise I was going bald until I saw one of me in the water in Malta and asked who the bald headed bloke was.
:D

I don't mind getting my photo taken although they are never flattering as hubby is a rubish photographer. I tend to be the snapper, loads of OH and the bairn.
Re passport photo's, can't wait till next year when i can renew mine, I hate it, one of those photbooth ones. We were checking into a hotel in Benidorm several years ago after a stupid o'clock flight, the man on the desk asked to see my photo, looked at it, smirked and showed his mate and said, "Bliddy hell, Myra Hindley" to which they both had fits of laughter along with a welsh bloke behind me, well I let rip, didn't I, soon shut em up! Hubby nearly wet himself :rofl . I was not amused. :(

Don't normally mind my holiday photos. I think there have only been 2 that I've hated. One was of sis and me in Santorini a couple of years ago. We'd bought bandanas for the first time instead of sun hats. On looking through the photos of the pool, I came across two fat ladies in their bikinis with their bandanas covering all their hair (like a muffler). Yes you've guessed it - it was us and I actually thought to myself "who are those 2 fat ladies?" :duh we're only size 12 but we looked awful.
The 2nd one is of me lying on a lilo in Crete just last week. I have a long fringe and I'd caught a lot of colour on my face (apart from where my hair comes down on one side) I had to look twice as my hair was swept back and the part of my forehead that had no colour looks positively bald :really

Only if I know they're being taken. Then it's a case of belly in - boobs out :tup and I'm not too bad! Hate the head on shots in the bilini round the pool - roll upon roll upon roll :rofl

I love seeing our holiday snaps, I get on to developing them as soon as we get home! I make sure I see them first mind, and any "dodgy" ones go to the bin :rofl Luckily there aren't many of those! :tup

I'm with you Marlou, I love having as many memento's of any holiday I've been on.
Photo's are the easiest way to produce a keepsake....

My passport photo = :yikes :yikes :rofl
I'm due a new passport next year, so I finally get to be rid of the horrendous photo I currently have! Had to take my passport into my new job a few weeks ago to get my CRB done and my new boss had a good laugh at it :oops:
At least this time, I can get someone to take lots of photos of me at home with the digital camera until I get one I'm happy with and then get it printed out passport size at Asda, instead of having to spend £3 or whatever to sit in one of those booths and only get one shot at it!

As for holiday photos, I'm always the one holding the camera!

I look really brown on my holiday to fuengirola. Our pics are wicked my samsung camera is the dogs, uploaded the videos of us in fish allley, in malaga on the dolphin trip, and in gibraltar, the only thing my hair looked like kate bush my hair is the pits in spain, frizzy and never stays straight.. this was the only thing I missed back at home, my hair is tamer in the uk..must be the humidty and the water... I looked glam when I took pics at the valparasio restaurant must of been the dark tan I got..

Hi kazza - have you seen the thread 'my hair'? (One page back on the General Forum) On it was a recommendation for Lee Stafford hair spray for frizzy hair and it actually works! Have a read if your interested. All best - Jenny x
