1. Don’t pass far
Whenever we think about travel images, we instantly place ourselves in another aspect of the globe, in an exciting area; however, you do not want to move some distance to get an amazing journey image. In this next spherical of POTY and Young POTY, we’re no longer necessarily looking for uncommon places, infancy, or some distance flung places but rather a photograph that captures a feel of a journey’ that embraces the spirit of a trip and the artwork of a travel, regardless of how grand or now not. It can be as easy as taking a trip to a neighboring metropolis or metropolis and recording what you find.
2. Find a brand new point of view
We all tour the same places – they’re interesting, visually exciting, and enjoyable. However, there’s no point in taking the same image as everyone else as it’s already been taken. Challenge yourself to discover a new tackle in a popular area or avoid the beaten music if you’re the adventurer. The praise can be sweeter!
Three. Record the journey
From a photographic angle, the journey can often be more thrilling than the location itself. Whether you travel by train, automobile, plane, bike, foot, or another manner of delivery, document your journey and notice the result.
4. Pack clever
Although it may be tempting to % each unmarried bit of package you own, you’ll regret taking that 500mm lens (unless you photograph nature!) on a ride. Stick to 1 or two lenses; something like a 24-70mm or a 50mm are splendid alternatives and come up with great versatility.
5. Don’t take pics!
We’ve all been guilty of it… You spend so much time searching the viewfinder for the suitable composition that you forget to prevent and absorb the place. We advise spending at least 1/2 the time not taking pictures when going somewhere new. You’ll produce better snapshots while you do, as you will have a higher sense of the region and people.
