Top Ten Tips for Taking Good Travel Photos
Taking decent photography while you are traveling isn’t as hard as it seems. Even with a pretty basic camera, with a few technique tips you can turn your regular amateur photos into professional looking ones!
1. Simplify your photography: eliminate the junk and focus on the the big picture
2. Get as close as you can to the object you are snapping, to make the best use of your pixels
3. Remember the law of thirds: a photograph has life when the object is placed on a line splitting the picture into 1/3 and 2/3 dimensions in either direction (not centered)
4. Look for patterns and diagonals
5. Frame the object with something naturally around it, such as an opening of trees or a wall
6. Avoid white skies- they take away from the true object of the photograph
7. Try and have the source of light come from behind you (the photographer)
8. Use color and symmetry to your advantage
9. Take photos from a different perspective or point of view
10. Capture the true size of something by including something of another size in the picture (person with a cathedral door, for example)
