Photography Tips for Travelers

If you love taking photos on your vacation and then showing them off to your friends and family, you should read a quick guide for making the most out of your photography efforts recently posted by GoGirlfriend.

Since I’m taking a photography class right now, this article is a great read. It’s also easy to understand, pinpointing ways that everyone can make their vacation photos more interesting, not just photographers who know all that camera lingo.

My favorite tips from the article are “Get Clicking,” because, like everything else, practice makes perfect! When you own a digital camera, there’s no reason to edit until you get home and look at them on the big screen.I’m sure that out of every 20 photos lies a truly wonderful one and you won’t know unless you keep your finger clicking.

I also enjoy “Get Funky,” which encourages all of us to be unique. Everyone’s got pictures of the beach, but how can you make yours special? Use light, crazy angles, and focus to make it your very own creation.

    Hi Jamie,
    So glad you liked the article. I love that digital photography allows us to explore how we really see life - it’s all about being fearless!

    I just returned from a 2-week cruise in the Southern Caribbean and I have almost 500 pictures. A killer video of my partner and I in a helicopter over an active volcano went up on GG today.

    Enjoy!

    Thanks so much for stopping by to leave a comment. Your photography article definitely inspired me to get out there and just keep clicking.

    I’ll be sure to check out the helicopter video as well!

    Thanks again,
    Jamie
