A great passion of ours is photography, and when we travel, we like to ensure that we both have our trusted cameras to hand to take that perfect shot whenever the occasion arises.

Though neither one of us are professional photographers as such, we have indeed built up many years of experience with taking photos all over the world and therefore developed a good skill set and knowledge of what makes the best picture.

Here we share with you some of the tips and tricks we have learned over the years which will help you get the best photos from every country that you travel to.

Go Digital

Though you may not be aware of any, we know of many people who still prefer to sue film roll in their cameras. While this still produces a good finishing photograph, it doesn’t always mean your picture has been taken in the best possible way – which you won’t realize until you get back home and develop it! A digital camera is a must these days as it allows to edit and take some snaps to get the best shot.

Just Start

The best way to begin taking picture perfect photos is actually to start. With a digital camera, you can’t go wrong and can always delete your efforts if you aren’t happy with them. Whenever you’re out and about, start snapping at anything that takes your fancy. This way you begin to build a rapport with your camera and get to see exactly what you can do with it.

Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment

With a digital camera, you’ll more than likely have a range of benefits and features that allow you to customize your shots. Never be afraid to test these out and see what your camera can offer you in the way of any of stylistic photos. You never know, you may find that you’re a pro at capturing a black and white picture or adding just the right filters to your choices.

Photograph Everything

From transport and animals that are on the move to people and landscapes that are attentively still, make sure you try your hardest very early on at capturing as many subjects as possible. If you’re heading off to foreign countries, this will stand you I good stead as you may find both the landscape and the people, equaling enthralling, photo-wise!

Back Up

Finally, never forget to carry with you a means of backing up your photos, lest all your hard work be lost in an instant! Whether it’s SD cards, backing up to the cloud or taking a small hard drive with you, always have a backup plan.
