Travel photography is a very broad topic, and includes a lot of content.
Here, I only talk about some of the most beginners make mistakes. No matter what style we are likely to encounter these problems.1. understanding the equipment errors
When we are ready to travel, equipment most easily arise two misconceptions are:
· The latest and best equipment taken photos better;
· Do the existing equipment is not good enough, because with their photos.
In other words, you're complaining about their own equipment.The camera is not own photographic, any photographic equipment will not.
Photos by you — the photographer to shoot. In some very fortuitous circumstances, you may be because the fuselage or lens problems encountered technical difficulties, but in most cases, this is not a problem. At present most of the photographic equipment are the last five years, they have been good enough, but you must understand how to use these devices.With regard to equipment, my suggestion is simple: forget the latest and the best of everything.
Bring the equipment you have, learn how to play their most greatly. Learn when to use a lens, when to use a tripod, of course, but also to learn photography — how to set the aperture, shutter and ISO. These proposals seem to just some very obvious, but I don't know why, or many ambitious photographers are considered to be their equipment. My suggestion is only the truth, nothing.2, does not collect information
I'm here to say "gathering information" refers to collect all information on travel destinations-best travel season/time, various considerations, local characteristics — these are each travel anterior necessary preparations.
But these work just make travel more smoothly and does not take into account the need for photography.In order to photography, the main purpose for travel, in addition to these essential work, it is also worth to spend some effort to examine the destination where visually with special, this type of information, the more the better.
Sometimes this information is not very obvious, you may need to do some in-depth understanding. But once you do, take the opportunity to be significantly increased.3, does not care about anything outside of the main attractions
Many travel destinations will have some "must see", "must take" main attractions.
As a result we struggle to these major attractions, missed in their surrounding those equally or even more worth photographing.I have made many of these errors, so now I'll be conscious to take a look around there are no pictures of things.
Sometimes I need to stay in one place 1, 2 days. I finished shooting of the main attractions, to those not-so-famous but worth a shot.4. not understanding light
Not understand light means that you will only be in any given environment, simply take your eyes of things without thinking.
You may receive longer are influential works, or sometimes get a full expression you want to say and feel things, but most will not.Understanding optical means, you know that there are different types of light, and your photo effect depends on the light when shooting.
It also means that you can consciously use proper light shooting, to accurately express what you want to express through photos.5. do not use artificial light
When we are familiar with the light, and begin to understand how light affects our shooting, most people would prefer to not use artificial light, particularly with Flash.
Most people do this because we know the artificial light enough.
Indeed, should at all costs, avoid using the set-top Flash, but it is not the only option for artificial light source. Deny the use of artificial light means that you never knew you could do with it. It seems to me that this is a big mistake.I think for a travel photographer, the best artificial light is a belt soft light box or off-reflective plate machine Flash.
Is so called because they allow you to control the light. This can create tremendous shooting opportunity, even have the opportunity to shoot some impossible shot to a photo.
