Traveling on your own is an amazing experience, but you’ll often struggle to document your journey when there’s no one by your side. Luckily, there are many gadgets you can use to take photos when traveling solo, and here are a few you can buy without spending a fortune.

Tripod & Selfie Stick

If you’re taking travel photos with your smartphone, a selfie stick can help you improve their quality. Tripod takes up more space, but it’s a much better option because you can take your time and take great photos without needing to ask anyone for help.

Bluetooth Shutter

You can always use a timer on your phone when taking travel photos, but having a Bluetooth shooter is a better option and it can save you a lot of time.

Ring Light

If you’re planning to take any indoor portraits during your trip, a ring light can also come in handy, as long as you find a small, portable model that doesn’t take up too much space.

Selfie Mirror

If you’re using a front-facing camera to take your travel photos,  it’s time to stop because their quality is much lower. Buy a tiny selfie mirror so you can see what you’ll look like in the photos when using the back-facing camera.

Travel photography is not just for those with uber-expensive professional equipment and comprehensive camera training. The truth is, anyone can level up their travel pics with nothing but a working smartphone and a little guidance. With these quick tips, you’ll be able to give your photos a makeover that’ll leave you wondering whether it was you who took them, or maybe Ansel Adams. Say cheese! 

Rule of Thirds

This composition rule of thumb is your best friend in crafting memorable travel albums. All you need to do is divide your frame into a 9-square grid, then place your subject (be it your partner, your best friend, or a highly attractive doughnut) on one of the four intersections of the lines. Roaring success guaranteed.

Squeaky-Clean Lens

Good photo ops are easy to destroy with fingerprints and smudges. So next time you’re about to snap a picture, stop to wipe your phone’s lens. You have no idea what a significant difference it can make to the quality of your images!

Take Candid Photos

Does anyone even pose for pics anymore? Today, it’s all about candid. Go the extra creative mile and capture authentic moments – from a mouth full of mashed potatoes to someone laughing ’till they can’t breathe. If you’re looking to tell a story about your trip, candid shots are as telling as it gets.

So you finally made it to your dream destination and it’s packed with people. How will you ever get that perfect Instagram photo to commemorate your travels? Don’t worry—there are lots of hacks to get the perfect shot with your iPhone, even if you can’t get everyone out of the shot in real life. These are the best tricks for getting the perfect photo in busy locations!

Long Exposure iPhone Hack

This trick won’t physically remove the people in the photos, but they will get blurred in a cool way. Using the long exposure gives the photo more movement and interest, and it shows the reality of the location! All you have to do is take the photo in Live mode, then apply the iPhone’s long exposure feature to the photo. This will blur any moving objects in the frame, so make sure when you pose for the photo you stand super still. That’s the best way to ensure that you are clear in the photo and everyone else is blurred!

Early Bird Gets the Perfect Instagram Photo

If you really want to get that photo with minimal people, it’s a good idea to wake up super early. Like, we’re talking 5 AM or 6 AM. Beat the crowds, snap the perfect photo, and then you’ll have the rest of the day for whatever other adventures you have planned.
