5 Tips for taking better travelling pictures

1.Get close up. When you get up close you can oftenget a better image as there is no disconnect between you and your subject. (Argentina, Andes) 2. Use the rigth light. Professional photographers rarely shoot in the mid-day Sun because the light is direct and harsh. Light is warmer and softer just after sunrise and just before sunset – the prós call it the “golden light”. If tou really have to, a good warm filter can do a hand. (Chile, Puerto Natales)3. About composition. Try not to have your subject in the dead center or a horizon line slicing through the exact middle of the frame. That makes for a boring, static picture. (Spain, Cordoba)

4. Changes levels. Don’t always shoot at eye level. Shooting u por looking down can make a photo much more interesting na exciting. (Jordania, Jerash)

5. Good manners. Be patient and kind to your subjects. If you ask first, most people around the world are happy to be photographed. (Jordania, Wadi Run)
