Taking picture while travelling has become a norm. Whether is it with a DSLR or just your smartphone, you’ll want to be able to take a decent picture or memories. It’s not rocket science and apparently, you don’t even have to be creative. Here are a few tips you can try to take better travel pictures.

Learn about the location

The more you know about a place, the more you know what you’ve got to do. It’s always good to know about the country, culture and landscape to make it easier for you to know what to shoot. Beside that, researching about the place can help you to avoid taking the same old stereotypical images that are stocking up on google.

Allow yourself to take it all in

As much as you want to take good photos, its good to give yourself some time to just see your destination with your naked eyes. Think about what captures your attention and how you want to frame it. Don’t rush it.

Talk to people you want to photograph

It may just be a gesture but this will help in making them more comfortable, which ultimately will make a big difference in your shot.

Lightings, lightings, lightings

Know the quality of light. Be aware and be sensitive to light.

Be flexible of the unexpected

You can’t always be in control so be prepared for bad weathers, delays, etc. Don’t be dismay; what’s important is making the most of whatever circumstances come your way.
