Travel Photography is something that we collect from our incredible journey so that we can look at those freezing memories and enjoy them for the rest of our lives. Each destination has its own feel, landscapes, history, culture, and most importantly people with different stories. All these can be your subjects for your

From the rocky mountains to the palm-fringed sandy beaches, each place can teach a new way and simply give you a new idea altogether.

Some of the best travel photography ideas and tips are mentioned below:

1. Whenever you are traveling, always keep your camera ready. Set it into the burst mode which can capture a number of shots in a single click in just a matter of few seconds. These burst shots are extremely helpful when you are trying to take an action shot like a dolphin jumping so that it covers the entire action in several shots.

If you want your photo to be taken by a stranger, set it in burst mode so that you can have a lot of choices to choose from later instead of one where you may be photobombed or your eyes are half-closed.

2. Carrying a tripod while traveling is indeed necessary. It ups your photography game and takes it to a next level.  One of the main reasons for carrying a tripod is that you can take your own shot in a beautiful landscape without any help from others.  Also, you may not be happy with a photo clicked by a stranger. Carrying a tripod gives you total control and you can be picky and choose your best travel photographer. You can pick up a small and portable tripod instead of a big one which is difficult to carry around. It should be flexible enough to be fitted anywhere on anything to get a wonderful shot in different unique angles.

It is easy to carry around and they work best on sunny days when the light is perfect and the colors are pop out – like blue color in a glacial lake pops out due to the sunlight.

Do thorough research and get the perfect polarizer for your camera lens.

5. Not many know that the best time to get picture-perfect shots is during the sunrise and the sunset. This is because, if you are trying to take a photo at noon, you will get strong shadows due to the harsh lights.  But when a photo is# taken when the sun is not so bright, your picture appears to have a warm glow. Moments before sunset, it is called the golden hour when the photos clicked are truly magical.

7. Perspective plays a very important part of photography. If you google any famous landmark, you get all the shots taken from different famous angles. Do not go for those angles. Try to look at the landmark or any place from a new angle – create a new perspective.

8. Reflection shots are a great and innovative way to shoot a photo. Instead of focusing on the main monument or the place take, it’s a reflection shot on the water.

Not your typical shots, reflection shots can hone your photography skills. You may discover a new creative side of yours and can end up like an odd photo amongst the typical money making photos.
