Here are just a few digital photography tips that I have put together to help you get better and more exciting pictures while travelling. Whether it's local inter-country travel or global travelling, or maybe its the yearly well earned vacation, these digital photography tips will help you in someway to achieving that once in a life time photograph that every photographer strives for. Whether it's for a competition or just to show off to your friends or family there should be a digital photography tip here for everyone interested.
Always plan ahead. This may sound like the most stupid and simple thing in the world but this is a very important piece for any traveller or person on vacation. If you're planning a vacation why not look ahead and see what's on in the area that you're visiting, maybe there's a festival on that you didn't know about or a large street market. Both perfect photograph opportunities if I may add. Why not plan your travels around an event like the running of the bulls in Pampelona or how about the Oktoberfest in Munich? It might be in your interest to look ahead and see if there are any interesting events on in your area of travel. Another very simple tip that needs to be planned ahead is the type of electrical power in the areas that you are travelling within. Well, you will need somewhere to recharge your camera batteries, or to place your newly taken pictures onto your laptop. There's loads of different travel plugs on the market and it pays to have one with you. If you haven't, make sure you have spare batteries with you for your camera because you can guarantee that after your batteries die you will come across hundreds of great picture opportunities.
Travel light. If you are going on vacation for the sole purpose of photography then I think it would go without saying to travel with only what you need. The last thing you need is to be carrying round loads of gear while trying to rush from place to place. The bottom line is that if you are in anyway serious about photography then I would assume that your equipment will be worth a considerable amount of money. Possibly running over the 2000 dollars or pound price range. So the last thing that you need happening while trying to have fun and enjoy yourself is for items to get broken or even stolen. If you have too much equipment with you and too many bags then at some stage the inevitable will happen. What you need is the digital camera with possible spare batteries, maybe a spare memory card, your flash and last but not least your laptop with CD's or DVD's. Remember to always back up your pictures once you get a chance and possibly copy or burn them onto a disc. If your still maybe worried about losing them, then post a disc home, that way every situation is covered.
These digital photography tips may sound easy or simple but they are actually very simple to forget. As they say be prepared or prepare to fail.
