Who doesn’t love to travel to different places? We enjoy varied experiences, get motivated and also enjoy a change in environment. We also visit different places (say, on flights to Cairns from London) to experience different looks, culture, people & history. Each destination tells a different story to those who are keen on listening.

We bring back souvenirs from places we visit, to remind us of those places. The best form of souvenir is clicking pictures of that place which’ll remind us of the story that inter-twinned with us in those places.

Of course, it’s advisable to not only click pictures and lose the essence of experiencing the situation personally. Take in the surroundings, absorb it and then immortalize it by clicking pictures or taking videos.

Travel photography freezes memories from an amazing journey. It may also help others find inspiration. Let’s get into details of how we can click amazing photographs:

• Understand golden hour and blue hour of photography. The golden hours are just before sunrise or sunset, when the light is just perfect for a pic. Besides there’s no disturbance. The time
  after sunset when the sky’s darkish blue and streetlights glow is blue hour.
• Learn about the location beforehand to make perfect pics for Instagram and Facebook. With a little research you will come up with an envious click. Impromptu photos clicked while wandering aimlessly; without any preparations has its own perks though.
• Follow the rule of thirds in photography; most cameras are equipped with the grid feature to make the understanding easy for novices.
• The tripod you carry while travelling should be light-weight to make it easier for you to move around. You’ll have more creative control over the manual settings and compositions as a whole. Flowing water, sunrise-sunsets, self-portrait, sharp landscape images… look much better with tripods.
• It’s fun to experiment with the composition. Click pics while lying on the ground or climbing up, zoom up or try different angles. Focus on elements other than the object to capture finer details of the place you’re visiting.
• Commit significant time to quality travel photography. Only then will you end up with exclusive non-generic pics. Rent a car after taking flights to Detroit from UK, to be able to stop anywhere you feel is photo-appropriate. Travel with like-minded people.
• Build a rapport with the local people after taking flights to South America from London (say), if you want to capture their culture through your photographic skills. You will end up knowing more about their culture and can ask for clicking their pics without any hesitation.
• Images helps to tell a personal story when a human is included in them.
• Insure your expensive camera while travelling. Keep it in hand luggage on flights to Chicago from London or elsewhere. Carry all the gears in a non-flashy bag to avoid unwanted attention. Keep the back-up both online and offline.
• Never stop learning. Sign up for travel photography classes. Chisel your photographic skills rather than spending a fortune on expensive cameras. Both travel and photography can be inexpensive if you spend judiciously.
