Shoot in RAW

Unlike other file formats, RAW files allow your camera to use as much data as possible. This will enable you to edit, crop, and zoom in on your photos while maintaining maximum picture quality.

Lighting is Key

According to professional photographer Tiffany Nguyen, lighting makes all the difference when it comes to photo quality. She explained that the best times of day to take photographs are sunset and sunrise.

Learn to Edit

By knowing how to edit your photos on the go, you can perfect and upload them all while you’re still on vacation. Consider learning to use a smartphone photo editing app like Lightroom Mobile and Touch Retouch so that you can perfect your photos on the move.

Havana, Cuba

The pastel-hued buildings in Havana’s historic district are a photographer’s dream come true. Colors range from shades of yellow, orange, turquoise, and pink, creating opportunities for Instagram-worthy shots at every turn. Take a stroll along the Malecon, Havana’s iconic seafront boulevard, or check out local festivals such as the Havana Carnaval.

Burano, Italy

This tiny island in the Venetian Lagoon is famous for the colorful houses that line its canals. The houses are painted in a rainbow of colors, which, legend has it, started as a tradition for fishermen to easily find their way home on foggy days.

Bo-Kaap, Cape Town, South Africa

Bo-Kaap is a neighborhood located in the heart of Cape Town known for its brightly colored houses, a practice that began as an expression of freedom when the Malay people were freed from slavery. Colors include neon orange, red, pink, and more, and create a striking contrast against the backdrop of Table Mountain.

Would you like to get a head start on ensuring that your travel pictures have reach and impact? Here are some tips that can help.

Learn to Use Effects

Instagram also serves as a photo editor, providing a number of effects and editing capabilities to make your pictures look even better. Learn to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, just to name a few things, in order to make your pictures pop.

Geotag Your Snapshots

One of the best ways to ensure that others see and like your photos is by geotagging your snapshots. Don’t just upload a picture of the Taj Mahal, for example; upload it and geotag it at the Taj Mahal so that people browsing photos of the monument will see your picture.

Master Hashtags

Another great way to ensure that your pictures have reach is by employing hashtags. Look for hashtags related to the location in which you have taken your photo so that people, while checking out these popular hashtags, will discover your photo and profile.

Recently, this account has been publishing a series of photographs that will especially inspire you to travel to one of the world’s most intriguing places: the United States of America.

A new National Geographic book called “America the Beautiful” is now out, and some of the top highlights and images of the book are being shared on the magazine’s Instagram account.

This book will take you on a “tour” of the United States through 50 photographs showing off one picture of each state in the country. A large number of these pictures are now available along with their descriptions on the Instagram page, providing us with a fantastic look at some of the top things to see in the country.

From the general stores of Mississippi to the canyons of Arizona, this page will show you so many of the corners of America that could potentially become your next trip destinations!

So, get over to National Geographic’s page and find a US state which appeals to you!

Catch Local Elements

If you take a photo that doesn’t capture a distinctive local element, it may not look as exciting as you thought it would. Include in your photos the things that make the destination unique. A common photo of a busy street in London will look much more London-like if you catch a Double Decker bus coming towards you.

Capture Details

Depending on the location, you may be able to find stunning details that deserve a place in your camera roll. This is true for Moroccan and Portuguese tiles, Florence statues, Istanbul markets, etc.

Night Photography

Don just take photos during the day. Figure out the night photography settings on your phone or camera and capture the destination once it’s dark and it looks completely different. You’ll have to be careful not to get blurry or shaky photos, but once you know how to do it, you’ll have amazing photos and memories.

Olkhon Island 

You may not have heard of it, but Olkhon Island is the third-largest lake island in the world and it holds some amazing sights. For example, Shaman Rock stands tall over the Baikal Lake as one of the holiest places on the continent. Also, you won’t want to miss Cape Khoboy, which offers a fantastic opportunity for some pics! 

The Red Square 

Who doesn’t want a picture in one of the most iconic locations in the world? Red Square is the center of Russian power and a symbol of Russian architecture, art, and might. Plus, it’s absolutely huge! 

The Steppe 

The Russian steppes have been the birthplace of various civilizations and that wild spirit is still out there. Just imagine – infinite flatlands, the sun at your back, a wild horse here or there… Insta-worthy!

Colosseum

The Colosseum is a symbol of Rome, and every visitor wants to take a photo with this top attraction. Luckily, there are many amazing photo-taking spots around this magnificent limestone structure, so take your time before you find the one you like.

Trevi Fountain

Taking a good photo in the Colosseum is a piece of cake when compared with the Trevi Fountain. Our best advice is to visit it early in the morning and experiment with frames to get the rest of the tourists out of the picture.

St. Peter’s Square

The large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter’s Basilica is never empty since thousands of people visit it every day to get a glimpse of Vatican City. You’ll either have to be extremely patient to get a good photo or settle for a portrait or a selfie.

Google, Google, Google

It is very important to do your pre-traveling research. There are quite a few ways to find the best spots for picture making. First, google it. The Internet is a great place for seeking advice. Second, talk to friends who have been there. And lastly, receive advice from the locals. They can reveal all the mysterious, yet beautiful places worth visiting and photographing.

Good Lighting is Key

Wake up early, and go back to bed late if you want to catch the perfect lighting. Catching the “golden hours” aka an hour before sunrise and an hour after sunset will reward you with romantic photographs.

The Dress Code

Every good photographer should have a pair of good travel clothes. You never know where your path could lead you. Why wasting it because of unappropriated gear.

Be Nice to Locals

If you are into portrait photography, you should know that kindness is everything. Being rude and taking photos of the locals without permission can get you into trouble. Learn how to say “can I take a photo of you” in the local language.

Pilot Tom Franklin de Waart decided to share what he sees with the rest of the world through travel photography that you can see on his social media.

“My name is Tom Franklin de Waart. I am a semi-professional travel and landscape photographer and a pilot based out of Hong Kong. I try to fly around the world not only for work but also on my time off. This allows me to capture the finest landscapes and those valuable travel moments. Capturing a place and showing its vastness is my goal and therefore sometimes I need multiple tries before getting the required result,” he said in an interview for Travel and Destinations.
