BASIC TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Some basic tips useful to anyone traveling anywhere include:
Take plenty of pictures. You don't want to return home and try to describe a wonderful scene or event that you could have photogaphed if you had planned to shoot generously.
If you are planning to share your adventures while you're on the road, send your most representative pictures to friends and family by email or upload them to a photo-sharing website. Be selective, though, and don't overdo it. People will enjoy seeing two or three great pictures much more than 30 or 40 shots of everything you encountered.
If you are traveling in a group, each member should bring their own camera, even when one person has agreed to take on the role of principal photographer. You would be surprised at how individuals see photographic subjects in different ways.
When photographing an exciting or funny event, take the time every now and then to shoot behind you or beside you to show the reaction of others.
When using a digital camera, take the time to review the shots you took that day, and delete those that are unsuitable.
Be sure to take along plenty of film or several digital media cards. It's frustrating to come upon a must-photograph scene, and discover that you're out of film or your cards are all full.
Bring your battery charger along on your trip. Although you can usually charge batteries while they are in your camera, a separate charger permits you to use a second set of batteries while the first is being recharged.
