Do Your Research

Research the best spots for taking photos ahead of time, especially if you’re traveling to a new location. Look for places that have been photographed before to get a sense of what you want to capture. You can also look up the best time of day to visit certain spots for optimal lighting. This will help you plan your shots and ensure that you don’t miss any opportunities.

Go Early

If you want to get the perfect shot of a popular tourist attraction, get there early – even if that means going right around sunrise. This will give you plenty of time to set up your equipment and get your shot before the crowds arrive. You’ll also have a better chance of getting the right lighting and avoiding harsh shadows.

Get Creative

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different angles and perspectives. Try shooting from the ground up, or from above for a unique perspective. Look for interesting details and patterns in your surroundings, and use them to create stunning compositions.

Practice at Home

Don’t wait until you reach your destination to figure out how your tripod works. Master the basics at home, learn to set it up quickly, and do a little bit of practicing so you know exactly what to do once you take it on the road with you.

Perfect Frame

Don’t step into the picture before you figure out what you want in the frame. The uncomfortable part comes once you start taking photos of yourself, but you can take your time before you step into the frame. Figure out what you want in your photo and set the frame before setting the timer and stepping in.

Timing is Everything

Taking tripod photos is a risky business and you shouldn’t be surprised if you end up getting a strange look or two. There’s no guarantee you’ll ever be able to avoid this issue, but you can try to by taking your photos earlier in the day, when the city is not so crowded.

Fall Foliage

One of the best things about this season is you get to encounter fall foliage at every turn. Getting changing leaves and trees in your frame will make everything 100% better, especially if you’re creative enough and enjoy experimenting with balance and exposure.

Fashion Tricks

You’ll have to take a break from wearing your flowy, colorful dresses until next summer—but that shouldn’t stop you from looking chic in your photos. Pick an outfit that perfectly fits the color of the changing leaves, and remember you can use your umbrella as a prop in the photos.

The Golden Hour

Timing is everything when it comes to fall photography, and you’ll get the best results if you’re taking photos just after sunrise and just before sunset. Plan your sightseeing adventures with this in mind, and make sure you’re at your favorite attractions during the golden hour.

Here are a few simple tips that will help you to make your travel photos absolutely amazing.

Capture Everyday Scenes

If you are visiting a place and you aren’t capturing shots of everyday scenes, why not? This is the most memorable way to recall the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that you have experienced while visiting a new place. A great picture can come from the most ordinary of scenes.

Don’t Dwell on One Landmark

If you can’t get the perfect shot of El Capitan or the exterior of The Louvre, don’t dwell on it! Take the best picture than you can, move on, and remember that you can always come back if the conditions weren’t right to take a good picture.

Patience is Your Friend

Sometimes, you just have to wait a little bit to get the perfect shot. Instead of hurrying up and taking a picture of a monument when there are tons of people in front of you, wait for it to clear out in order to have a better view of the monument in the picture.

Perfect Timing

Even if you’re not Instagram-obsessed, visiting top tourist attractions early in the morning is always your best option because it’s far less crowded – unless you prefer night photography.

Patience!

Amazing pics take time. Sometimes you’ll have to wait for people to leave your preferred spot, or simply go looking for another one. If you’re not in a rush, give it some time and wait for that perfect shot, because good things come to those who wait.

Good Angles

Feel free to experiment with your camera when you make it to your next tourist destination. Shooting up is a good way to get people out of your photo, but you should also consider focusing on tiny details that most photographers don’t pay a close attention to.

If you’re not a huge fan of selfies, you’ll end up asking a lot of strangers to take your pics – and they can still be amazing if you follow these steps.

Be Specific

The person you ask to take your picture probably isn’t a professional photographer, so you’ll have to tell them exactly where to stand and what to pay attention to when taking your photo.

Don’t Be Shy

We often have to take a bunch of pictures to get a good one, so feel free to ask a friendly stranger if they can take a couple of photos – or put the burst mode to some good use.

Giving Back

If someone asks you to take their photo first, check if they can take yours afterwards, since kindness goes both ways.

Right Pick

Some people are better at wielding a camera than others, so always go for people who seem to know what they’re doing.
