The best photos are the ones you take when you're on a vacation or a trip. This is probably the best way to document and preserve the experience you got from visiting a certain place, most likely one that is far from home. One look at these photos and you will be taken back to the attractions you visited during your journeys. Thanks to advancement in photography and technology, taking a photo of a beautiful scenery is a piece of cake nowadays. Basically, anyone can become a photographer provided the equipment and subject are available. So how does one take better travel photos? Here are some of the few tips:
Don't bring a camera bag
Bringing a camera bag with you spells 2 things. One, it means that you will be keeping your camera inside it all the time. Two, it's inviting thieves to steal your camera. You'll probably only need a bag for your camera when it's not in use -- inside the airplane. You need to get out there, get lost, and discover places and subjects that are worth keeping memories of.
Take your time
When attempting to take pictures of subjects that move such as animals or people, it's best to wait for the opportune moment. Taking numerous flashes and hoping that you'd be able to capture 1 in 6 shots is random and chaotic, and there's a high chance that your photos will be disorderly as well. Let the moment sink in first, immerse yourself in the instant and wait for a shot that is worth remembering forever.
Use Close Up
If you are visiting a certain location, chances are it's a tourist spot and this means there are going to be plenty of people stopping over as well. With this crowd, it's hard to get a clear shot of a subject which is why it's advisable to get close to the subject. It's also suggested to come early so that you can take pictures without being interrupted by others.
