If you’re taking pictures of landscapes, you will want to create depth and perspective for the viewer. Foreground is very important in landscape photography; place an object in the foreground to create a sense of depth and scale. Aperture sizes like f/8 on a consumer camera, or f/16 on a professional DSLR, make it so you need not sacrifice foreground sharpness for background sharpness or vice-versa.
When departing on a trip, start shooting photos the minute you walk out the door. You needn’t wait to arrive at your destination to start snapping photos. The trip getting there and back also offers shots that will preserve the whole experience of the trip. You can document your trip from start to finish.
Practice taking pictures of people. Always ask their permission first. The pictures can become great memories of the places you’ve been or people you’ve seen. They will make excellent companions during a travel and can transport you to a unique moment preserved in time. Candid expressions and casual clothing will help make your pictures even more memorable.
Take photos of your travel souvenirs when you’re on a trip. For example, photograph the shop where you had originally purchased the memento, or frame the object against a memorable background.
