Travel Photography
Whether you’re jetting off to some far- flung corner of the world or having a short staycation, don’t miss the opportunity to see how your photography skills measure up to an entirely new setting. If you’re dipping your toe into the world of travel photography, the first thing to get used to is being ready to photograph at all times. To aid this, pack appropriate camera equipment and try setting yourself a creative target – such as making a certain number of photos at each landmark on your itinerary. By all means, get images of any famous locations you may visit, but also attempt to grab photos that sum up the essence of a place to you. This kind of thinking will send you home with a more personal set of pictures that serve as a better reminder of the trip in years to come.
