Ideas for photos at the dacha
1. Walk around the countryside.
If your country house is located near a forest, meadow, river or lake, feel free to go for a walk with a camera. In autumn, you can take photos with leaves or go mushroom picking. In spring, have a photo shoot with blooming trees and flowers. You can pick flowers, make wreaths or simply pose against the backdrop of trees. Spring photos in the garden or on the meadow look bright and romantic, and they will definitely be appreciated by girls on Instagram.
You can specifically prepare a costume of a nymph or Little Red Riding Hood lost in the forest. Feel free to experiment with clothing and characters, try to showcase not only the beauty of nature, but also your originality.
There are many ideas for photos at the summer cottage: use all the gifts of nature, bright fruits and vegetables, flowers. If there is a field near the cottage, arrange a photo shoot in the wheat or sunflowers. Such a background in photos always looks bright and attractive.
2. Ideas for a photo of a country feast
If you have a beautiful summer terrace or veranda, set the table, arrange a romantic photo session of a morning tea or dinner with a glass of wine. If you don't have a suitable interior, go on a picnic and take equally interesting photos there. Props like a basket of fruits, a blanket, and a hat look beautiful.
Choose the time for shooting at sunrise or sunset, when the sunlight is not too intense. This way you will get softer and more muted light in your photos, you won't feel discomfort from the heat, and you won't have to squint in the pictures.
3. Photo of a bonfire and kebabs.
A country house is the ideal place to gather a group for a barbecue. It would be interesting to capture the entire cooking process as a memory: gathering firewood, setting the table, and starting the fire. Take photos of the barbecue before the guests start drinking and eating. People chewing food and drinking alcohol do not look very aesthetically pleasing in pictures.
When photographing a bonfire, it is important to choose the right focus. It is better to focus on the coals or logs. The flames are constantly moving, making it difficult to focus on them. Use a long exposure and set the ISO to 100-150 to capture the lively flames and convey movement in the photo.

At the dacha, there is time and space for active leisure. Take a photo shoot during games of football, badminton, volleyball. Capture children running and playing. Photos with sports activities look lively, convey mood and movement. During active games, people are focused on the process, forget about the shooting, and behave as naturally as possible in front of the camera. Take bicycles and go for a bike ride around the dacha, along the way you can find interesting places for photos.
5. Photos by the water.
Next to the dacha there is usually a river or lake, many people install pools on their plots. In the summer, take photos near the water. It can be a staged photo shoot near the pool or a reportage shooting during swimming and playing in the river. Have fun, splash around or calmly enjoy the cool water. The main thing is to enjoy your vacation, then you will definitely get successful shots with happy faces.

6. Ideas for photos of country house work.
The dacha is not only about relaxation, but also about active work. Take photos of what you are doing on the plot. People are interested in watching others in action. Have a photoshoot right in the garden bed, take pictures with gardening tools. Dig, water, plant, and take photos in the process. When you finish your dacha work, your friends and family will be curious to see the results. Take pictures of the harvest you gathered, how you painted the fence, or did repairs in the cottage.
Organize a photo session of children at the dacha, capture your little helpers. The kids can gather berries and fruits, help pass tools, water flowers with a small watering can. Children enjoy mimicking adults, so they will gladly pose for the camera. Avoid taking photos of dacha chores in dirty, work clothes, as it will look unaesthetic in the pictures. Also, don't wear heels and evening dresses in the garden, as it will look unnatural. Choose simple, clean, and neat clothing that does not restrict your movements.

Wooden furniture, a fireplace, firewood, and a fire will create an atmosphere of coziness and warmth in the photos. Any time of the year, you can find interesting ideas for photos at the dacha, each scene looks original in its own way.
