photo stop

Picture-taking break

A photo stop is a brief pause during travel—on a tour bus, hiking trail, or scenic drive—specifically for taking photographs.

Tour guides announce photo stops at viewpoints or landmarks: We'll make a quick photo stop at the overlook.

The term acknowledges that the stop serves no purpose other than capturing images.
