- Pack lightly. Lugging around a long list of photography equipment can be exhausting and impractical.
- Capture details about the place you’re visiting that make it unique. Create a collection of photos that contrast the differences between the place you’re visiting and where you call home.
- Capture the details. Turn your camera away from the easy to spot characteristics of a place and look for more obscure details to photograph. Road signs in different languages, the local people and what they like to do, stores in the area, what a typical street looks like.
- Capture a variety of different kinds of photos. Pay close attention to the background of your photos and include information that gives your photos context. Where you were, how the weather was… Closeups are great, but including some of the background scenery tells a story.
- Hand the camera over to someone else and get in a shot or two or even give them the job of playing photographer for the day. Capturing the trip from a travel companions perspective can be fun and provides a totally different vantage point.
- Think of yourself as the storyteller of your trip. Capture the details of your journey from start to finish. From packing, arriving at your destination, the fun you had while there and your return home.
- While capturing beautiful photos from your trip, don’t forget to put the camera away sometimes. Enjoy the details with all of your senses and create memories to attach to your photographs. Taking photos is great but knowing when to put the camera away is great too.
