Period of time of sunrise and sunset is called golden hours. The sun is calmer, the shadows are light, and environment is still. This is the perfect time to shoot your photos. Make sure to rise early to beat the tourists. This is specially true if you are shooting a famous spot. The earlier you arrive, the more likely you are to get a picture without hundreds of tourists crowding the photo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Pre plan the destinations<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Where ever you are going, plan first. This will save a lot of time that you can utilize for photography. Google maps, Pinterest, Instagram etc. Will help you to understand the place, distance between two places, weather, safety precautions and lot more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Talk to Locals<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sometimes the best discoveries are places that you didn’t even know were on the map to begin with! A secret street, a hidden cave, a lost temple. If you want to add a differentiating factor, talk to locals and get their advise. A local has more understanding of his \/ her place than you’ll ever have. You might find, what no one else ever did, who knows!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Add human elements<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Travel photography is not just about streets and surroundings. It is also about the people, the culture and the experience. This can only be captured when you add human elements. So, how to get those amazing portrait photos? Simple \u2013 politely ask for permission.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you just see a great opportunity to capture a wonderful portrait, give them a big smile and ask if it\u2019s ok to take their photo. Make them comfortable, relaxed, talk to them and you might end up getting even more photos than you planned for.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Patience is everything<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All professional photographers have one thing in common. Patience! They wait for perfect spot, time, opportunity. Its also not just about the click, but clicking till you get it right. Many best photographs in the world are 100th or even 1000th photo attempted after waiting for hours.
Good photography takes time. The more patience you have, the better your travel photography will turn out in the long run. Keep this in mind when you plan your trip (tip #2)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
