Travel bloggers are always on the go, whether they’re exploring a new destination or just snapping some shots of their day-to-day life. Whether you’ve never stepped foot outside your hometown or you’re always jet-setting across the globe, there’s one thing we all have in common: taking photos. But it’s also extra important for travel bloggers to take great pictures because that’s what makes our blogs stand out from everyone else! That means knowing how to take the best photos while travelling is key to any successful blog.
#2 Stay out late and wake up early
It can be tempting to sleep in until the afternoon and then explore if you’re new to travelling. But if you want amazing photos of sunrises or beautiful skies, that’s not going to cut it! So instead, get out of bed early (or at least as early as your internal clock will allow) and go exploring before everyone else decides to wake up. The best places for sunrise shots are usually on beaches or near mountains because they tend to have more foggy weather, which makes for a perfect setting.
#3 Hunt for the best locations
A great photo is only as good as the spot you take it from. That’s why I always suggest travellers spend a little extra time hunting for that perfect shot. It can be distracting when too many people are around, which is one of the main reasons we chose to explore at odd hours! But if you’re not into waking up early or staying out late to avoid crowds, just go exploring and see what happens!
#4 Practice different techniques
If you’re looking for more ways to take better photos, check out some tutorials or read up on how other photographers do what they do! There are tons of resources out there for beginners, and you might be surprised at how easy it is to pick up some new tricks. One great example would be having a look at golden ratio photography and picking up some tips there! This will help give you more perspective when taking photos because it will make you think about things in more than one way.
