Travel Photography
When we visit a country or a city, there are plenty of eye-catching monuments and icons we must check out. Many of the attractions found in a country which we visit are worth capturing.
How to be a good travel photographer? There are many ways you can try to take photos of stuff that catch your attention. If you lack information on how to snap pictures, you can try practicing. Here are some basic tips on how to use a camera to take photos.
The subjects which you are concentrating or want to capture with your camera should fill the frame. They should look important and dominate the photograph. By doing so, people who check out your photographs will know what and who are the main focus in the setting. This is an important tip for those new to taking photos with cameras.
In order to avoid shaky photo taking sessions, a tripod is essential. If you did not come to the trip with a tripod not to worry. You can be a tripod yourself. How? Easy. By standing on your two legs you got to find the third point which is stable. If you can find walls you are safe. You can lean your back against the stable point and keep your feet apart. This will give you a tripod standing posture.
The sun can be your enemy when taking photographs on a trip. What can you do to block the sun rays?
One way is to use your hand to block while taking the photograph. Another way is to use things such as a tree or a building to avoid the sun.
It is also good to invest in polarizing lens. It can help to block the sun’s glare. The lens can also be used when you want to take photos of the beach or river. The lens can also aid when you want a good contrast. The lens can make the skies more blue in color.
When you are on a travel trip it is best to be selective of what you see and can shoot. You do not have to take photos of all the attractions that you see. Be choosy and pick only what you think you want to shoot.
If you are using a digital camera while you are traveling, remember to bring along extra memory cards and batteries
If you want to know how to focus, turn your focus ring while looking through the viewfinder. This will cause the image to become sharper. If you have a live view mode, it will enable the manual focus to be easier. Having a live view will allow the user to zoom giving an enlarged picture. Another useful information is that for majority of the zoom lens when one zooms in or out, the focus will not stay the same. Thus it will be good if you can adjust the focus every time.
Hope these tips will prove to be useful for you while you are on a trip. Good luck! - M L
